Nott with a troubled air, "you disremember that when you first kem here you asked me if you could hev that 'er loft that the Frenchman had down stairs." "No, I don't remember it," said Renshaw almost rudely. "But," he added, after a pause, with an air of a man obliged to revive a stale and unpleasant memory, "if I did what about it?"
Dicky laughed softly. "I've had more fun for my money than most men of my height and hair " he stroked his beardless chin humorously. "And the best is to come, Yankee. This show is cracking. The audience are going to rush it." Renshaw laid a hand on his shoulder. "Pasha, to tell you God's truth, I wouldn't have missed this for anything; but what I can't make out is, why you brought me here.
The reason, I believe, why sailors in a well-regulated ship are generally so happy, is, that they are never allowed to have an idle moment. Mr Renshaw was always finding something for the people to do; and when that work was finished, there was something else of equal importance to be done.
Willie returned and took his place at the table again. But the spirit had gone out of the gathering. The voice of Clarence Renshaw was hushed, and Howard Bemis spoke no more of the influence of Edgar Lee Masters on modern literature. Mrs. Pett left the room, followed by Ann. The geniuses drifted away one by one.
"The dead is our dead, effendi may God give thee everlasting years!" called a blind man from the crowd. Up in the tower Dicky had listened intently, and as the speech proceeded his features contracted; once he gripped the arm of Renshaw. "It's coming on to blow," he said, in the pause made by the blind man's interruption. "There'll be shipwreck somewhere."
"But I'll get them back! To think of Bill Renshaw playing the part of a ghost!" "They made me do it," went on the man, somewhat dejectedly. "I wanted to be at work in the cave, but they wouldn't let me." "Is this man one of the diamond makers?" asked Tom, in great surprise. "He is one of the helpers, though I don't believe he knows the secret of making the gems," explained Mr. Jenks.
Jarvis, who, since the readings from the Kid's reminiscences had ceased, had lost interest in the proceedings, and was now entertaining the cats with a ball of paper tied to a string. "Thought that Mr. Scobell ?" repeated Mr. Renshaw. "Who is, if he is not?" "I am," said John. There was a moment's absolute silence. "You!" cried Mr. Renshaw. "You!" exclaimed Mr. Waterman, Mr.
Take this, for example, from The Profligate. Dunstan Renshaw has expressed to Hugh Murray the opinion that "marriages of contentment are the reward of husbands who have taken the precaution to sow their wild oats rather thickly"; whereupon the Scotch solicitor replies HUGH MURRAY: Contentment! Renshaw, do you imagine that there is no autumn in the life of a profligate?
"I was just saying 'good-by' to Miss Nott," said Renshaw, hastily regaining his composure with an effort. "I am going to Sacramento to-night, and will not return. "In course, in course," interrupted Nott, soothingly; "that's wot you say now, and that's what you allow to do. That's wot they allus do."
Nott was evidently absent, and after a quick glance at the half-open cabin door, Renshaw turned towards the galley. But Miss Rosey was not in her accustomed haunt, and with a feeling of disappointment, which seemed inconsistent with so slight a cause, he crossed the deck impatiently and entered his room.
