"Well, I shan't blub this time, or if I do, it won't be about you.... Anyhow, I shall get up early and see Quinny off. I like Quinny!..." Ninian pointed at Henry, and burst out laughing. "Oh! Oh, he's blushing! Look at him! Oh! Oh!!" "Shut up, Ninian, you ass!" said Henry, turning away. Mary went over to him and took hold of his arm. "Never mind, Quinny," she said, "I do like you. Good-night!"
"Sloppy ass!" said Ninian, and then he added excitedly, "Oh, I say, plaice and dabs and a lobster ... a whopping big lobster! It's berried, too!" He pointed to the red seeds in the lobster's body. "My Heavenly Father, Quinny!" he exclaimed, "what a tuck-in we'll have to-night!" "Eh?" Henry replied vaguely. Gilbert summoned Roger and Henry and Ninian to a solemn council.
At the familiar phrases of Steingall's outburst, Rankin wagged his head in unequivocal assent, Stibo smiled so as to show his fine upper teeth, and Towsey flung away his cigar, saying: "Words, words." At this moment when Quinny, who had digested Steingall's argument, was preparing to devour the whole topic, Britt Herkimer, the sculptor, joined them.
I also trust that our young friend, Quinny, will make up his mind to work hard. He's Irish, of course, and we must make allowances for him!..." There was almost a row when Gilbert said that, and it was not completely averted until Gilbert had admitted that the English had their faults.
He had a strange sense of fear that was inexplicable to him. He seemed to be outside himself, outside his own fear, looking on at it and wondering what had caused it. He felt as if something were pulling at him, trying to force him to look round ... and he was afraid to look round.... He shuddered violently. "Are you cold, Quinny?" Mary said anxiously, turning to him.
I've just had a telegram, and I'm going back to-night!..." "I'm awf'lly sorry, Quinny!" Gilbert said, quickly sympathetic. "I met Jimphy at Charing Cross. He's in khaki. He took me back to tea. Cecily's making mittens!..." "She would," said Gilbert. "She told me to tell you to go and see her!" "Did she, indeed?" "You'll stay here, I suppose," Henry went on, "until you're called up?"
There are only two known specimens of the coin in existence, and the second happens to be here in my waistcoat pocket." "Of course," said Quinny with a shrug of his shoulders, "the story is well invented, but the turn to it is very nice very nice indeed." "I did know the story," said Steingall, to be disagreeable; "the ending, though, is too obvious to be invented.
At this deft disentanglement of a complicated idea, Rankin, who, like the professional juryman, wagged his head in agreement with each speaker and was convinced by the most violent, gazed upon Quinny with absolute adoration. "We were speaking of woman," said Towsey, gruffly, who pronounced the sex with a peculiar staccato sound.
"Quinny," she said, drawing herself up to him and leaning her elbows on his knees, "do you love me really and truly?..." He put his arms quickly about her, and drew her close to him, and kissed her passionately. "But you haven't loved only me," she said, freeing herself. He did not answer. "I've never loved any one but you," she went on. "I haven't been able to love any one but you.
He had finished a game of cards with Mary and then Mary had gone off to bed. She had kissed her mother and Ninian, and then she held out her hand to him and said "Good-night, Quinny!" and he said "Good-night, Mary!" and held the door open for her so that she might pass out. "Let's go out in a boat to-morrow," she said. "We'll go to the Smugglers' Cave...." "Yes, let's," he answered.
