Philander lay as he had fallen, frozen into the horrid semblance of death. As his arms and legs had been extended stiffly upward as he came to earth upon his back the attitude of death was anything but impressive. Jane had been watching his antics in mild-eyed surprise. Now she laughed a little choking gurgle of a laugh; but it was enough. Mr. Philander rolled over upon his side and peered about.
In the following year the Rev. Philander O. Powers joined Mr. Schneider, and the Rev. Henry A. Homes arrived at Constantinople. Such was the beginning of missionary efforts among the Armenians of Asia Minor. Broosa is situated in Bithyniâ, at the western base of Mount Olympus, and was the capital of the Turkish empire for one hundred and thirty years previous to the taking of Constantinople.
"Now, Tom, Philly is just as bad as Billy, if not worse. You know my name well enough." "All right, Tubblets. If you prefer any such handle to the tub, why I " "Tom, if you are going to talk that way, I'll really have to leave you, don't you know," cried William Philander. "I am not going to stand for it any longer. I have told you at least a hundred times "
He clutches the arm of his fellow-adventurer, and whispers: "John Craig, remember your solemn promise." "Never fear; I'll stand by you, professor." "Philander Sharpe!" This time the inflection is more positive and acrid. It is no longer a tone of plaint and entreaty, but touches the Caudle lecture style. Of course, he can no longer ignore the presence of his better half.
I say not this, my dearest Philander, that I do or ever can repent my love, though the fatal source of all: for already we are betrayed, our race of joys, our course of stolen delight is ended 'ere begun.
When the four fugitives come out of the old mine into the moonlight, the soldier looks about him quickly. "If we could only find horses," he cries. "What's this?" asks Philander. A whinny sounds close by. "This way, friends. Bless me! if this isn't the acme of good luck! Here are horses three, four of them, just one apiece, by Jove!" "Oh, how singular! I mean how fortunate!" exclaims Lady Ruth.
To his surprise he is stopped near the door by some one he knows Philander Sharpe, wearing a ridiculous helmet hat, as becomes a traveler. "Pardon me, but I'm in a hurry," he says, as the other plucks his sleeve. "Oh! yes; but I'm going with you, Chicago," pipes the little professor, shutting one eye and nodding in a very knowing manner.
Brilliard, who even yet retained some unaccountable hope, as lovers do, of one day being happy with that fair one; and believing he could not be so, with so much felicity, while she was in the hands of Octavio as those of Philander, would never tell his lord his sentiments of her conduct, nor of her love to Octavio, and those other passages that had occurred in Holland: he only cried, he believed she might be overcome, being left to herself and by the merits and good fashion of Octavio; but would not give his master an absolute fear, or any account of truth, that he might live with her again, if possible, as before; and that she might hold herself so obliged to him for silence in these affairs, as might one day render him happy.
But Philander called a meetin' of the Creation Searchers to make arrangements to go. And I spoze the speech he made at the meetin' wuz a powerful effort. And the members most all on 'em believin' as he did they said it wuz a dretful interestin' meetin'. Sunthin' like a love feast, only more wrought up and excitin'.
Ah, Sylvia! How shall I live till night? And you impose too cruelly upon me, in conjuring me to go to Cesario; alas! Does Sylvia know to what she exposes her Philander?
