The wind hummed in his ears his hair flew and his hand held tense to the wheel slowing it cautiously, inch by inch slackening a little slackening again with quick-flung, flashing glance behind and a watchful eye on the road ahead... and on the little white house drawing near on the plain. It was a race now between his quick mind and that car ahead and the little white house.
The crash, as the chair fell, was answered by a rush through the door, a hoarse, surprised and quick-flung oath and, as Jimmie Dale swung out through the window and dropped to the street, the flash and roar of a revolver shot.
Then, in quick-flung sentences, he would condense the results of a lifetime of study into phrases filled with meaning, that seemed to cast light upon principles, not facts, and make wonderfully clear the very purpose of Nature. Then indeed he almost forgot that we were women, and talked with kindling enthusiasm of his pet subject. I ceased to wonder that he held such high rank in college.
"So long, Mag" he paused on the threshold for a single, quick-flung, significant glance. "See youse on de avenoo, Mag I'll be up dere before youse are. So long!" "Oh, so long!" said the Tocsin contemptuously. And, an instant later, Jimmie Dale closed the outer door behind him. Nearly midnight already! It was even later than he had thought.
He was a sneak and a thief, a mischief-maker, a fomenter of trouble; and irate squaws told him to his face, the while he eyed them alert and ready to dodge any quick-flung missile, that he was a wolf and worthless and bound to come to an evil end. He found himself an outcast in the midst of the populous camp. All the young dogs followed Lip-lip's lead.
His blood was tingling; there was elation upon him, coupled with an almost childlike dread that she might be gone. "The Tocsin! The Tocsin!" he kept saying to himself. Yes; she was still there, still whiningly imploring those who passed to buy her miserable pencils and then, with a quick-flung whisper to him to follow as he slouched up close to her, she had started slowly down the street.
