"In that one little sentence, Mr. Percivail, spoke from the heart, you have reveal the secret history of the world. You have account for everything." "You are a million years old, Madame Obosky," he said, looking into her deep, unfathomable eyes. She smiled. "So? And which of my sons, Mr. Percivail, do you think I love the most? Cain or Abel?" "It would take a woman to answer that question.
I shall be very much interested to hear what you think of me. In the meantime, I am troubled for you. You are in love with her, oh, yes, you are, and I am very much afraid zat you will lose her if you are not careful. I am your friend. Be warned in time, Mr. Percivail. She is sorry for him. Landover. You have humiliated him before all of us. He is the friend of her family.
"By Jove, you've got me guessing, Madame Obosky," he exclaimed, frankly puzzled. "I can't make you out at all." She shrugged her shoulders. "Zat is because I am a thousand years old and very, oh, so very wise, Mr. Percivail," she returned, with a smile. "Au revoir!" Percival went straight to Captain Trigger. "See here, Captain," he said at once, "I'm up against it with Landover.
"Will you tell me, Captain Trigger, why Mr. Percivail did not come aboard tonight?" asked Olga suddenly. "They were expecting him." "And they were disappointed, eh?" "I dare say. At any rate, a good many of them kept peering out over the water most of the time, and listening for the sound of oars." She laughed softly. The men chuckled. "Talk about strategy," said Mr. Mott, "he's a bird at it.
"Do you know of any reason why you should not do as both Mr. Percivail and I have commanded?" "No, no, Madame," cried Alma hastily. As the heavy wooden bolt fell into place, Olga again shrugged her shoulders and threw herself into a chair in front of the fireplace. "Put on your clothes," she ordered. "What is happening, Madame? What is all the noise about?" questioned one of the girls.
You you can't be making me an offer of marriage?" "Heaven forbid!" she cried. "I have had all I want of marriage, my friend. You will never catch me doing anything so foolish as that again. No, no! I do not desire to marry you, Mr. Percivail. Nothing so dreadful as that! Suppose we would be married, what zen? Poof!
Percivail has seen me at my best. He will tell his grandchildren how wonderful Obosky was, and he will think of her to his dying day as something beautiful, not something vile." "Oh, Olga!" "You see, my dear," said the other, composedly, "I wanted to make a good impression on zat virtuous husband of jours. Now he will think of me as the artist, not as the woman. It is much better so, is it not?"
Alas for you, my friend, you may yet have to turn to me for consolation. It is the ill-wind that blows nobody good. Am I not shocking, Mr. Percivail?" They had lost Madame Careni-Amori, who was behind them, shrieking a command through a port-hole to her maid. He looked at her in amazement. "I don't know what to think of you, Madame Obosky." Then he grinned. "Good Lord!
You would see what kind of man he is if this plot should succeed." "But you will have to give him your answer tomorrow," cried Ruth. Olga shot a keen glance at Percival's face. "It is for you to say, Percivail, what my answer shall be," said she, after, a slight pause. A queer pallor spread over her face. "For me to say?" he exclaimed. "Are you not the governor?
Percivail?" she inquired anxiously. "That, Madame Obosky, is something that will have to come from Captain Trigger." "I see. That means it is bad. I see." The lurching of the ship threw her body against his. She righted herself promptly, but did not reveal the slightest confusion nor utter a word of apology. "By Jove, you're a cool one!" he exclaimed. "I don't believe you know the meaning of fear.
