People often don't give themselves a chance to get right by being in too big a hurry. So, keep me in darkness to-day, if you want to, old man. For a hustler I'm not in too big a hurry, you see. I'm for holding back to get a bigger jump." "You can't be in a big hurry, even if you want to, Ingolby," rejoined Rockwell, gripping the wrist of the sick man, and leaning over him.
"Yes, the ricochet got them, and has put them out of commission," replied Rockwell, carefully dwelling upon each word, and giving a note of meaning to his tone. Ingolby raised himself in bed, but Rockwell gently forced him down again. "Will my eyes have to be kept bandaged long? Shall I have to give up work for any length of time?" Ingolby asked.
"Jim, Rockwell, Osterhaut, Jowett, and my father!" she exclaimed. "Of course trouble wouldn't do anything but make them come closer round you. Poor people live so near to misfortune all the time I mean poor people like Jim, Osterhaut, and Jowett that changes of fortune are just natural things to them. As for my father, he has had to stretch out his hands so often to those in trouble "
Ethel, too, seemed uninterested in the city girl, and as Marjorie felt herself, in a way, responsible for the little stranger, she spoke up, loyally: "Of course she can't tell yet, but of course she will like Rockwell as soon as she gets more used to it, and if she doesn't like the Rockwell boys and girls, it'll be their own fault. So there, now!"
Rockwell and Hall received the Medaille Militaire and the Croix de Guerre, and Thaw, being a lieutenant, the Legion d'honneur and another "palm" for the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre he had won previously. Thaw, who came up from Paris specially for the presentation, still carried his arm in a sling.
I intend Michael to undertake most of your present duties, such as going to the post-office, etc. Do you think he will answer?" "I think so," said Dick. "He has been a rough customer, but then he has never had a chance. I believe in giving everybody a chance." "So do I," said Mr. Rockwell. "Michael shall have his chance. Let us hope he will improve it."
"I wouldn't, Rockwell." "You wouldn't?" "No. You never can really overtake a newspaper lie. Lots of the people who read the lie don't see the denial. Your truth doesn't overtake the lie it's a scarlet runner." "I don't see that. When you're lied about, when a lie like that " "You can't overtake it, Boss. It's no use. It's sensational, it runs too fast. Truth's slow-footed.
"I don't think you would need any hiring," said Gilbert, with a sneer. Micky was about to retort in no choice terms, but Mr. Rockwell signed to him to be silent. "This boy has made a charge against you, Mr. Gilbert," he said, "which you ought to be made aware of." "He is capable of any falsehood," said the book-keeper; but he began to be nervous.
"It's odd there aren't more accidents to them," answered Ingolby "just a little ball of iridescent pulp with strings tied to the brain." "And what hurts the head may destroy the eyes sometimes," Rockwell answered cautiously.
"Where did you get that watch and chain? Are they gold?" "Yes, Mrs. Rockwell gave them to me." "It seems to me you're in luck." "I wasn't very lucky to fall in with you," said Dick. "Don't you see what a fool I should be to begin to pick pockets now when I am so well off?" "That's true," said the officer, who began to be shaken in his previous conviction of Dick's guilt.
