Rulledge exploded in uncontrollable enthusiasm. "She turned round as soon as she had got through with her hymn of praise it made Braybridge feel awfully flat and ran back through the bushes to the boat-landing, and that was the last he saw of her till he met her in town this fall." "And when and when did he offer himself?" Rulledge entreated, breathlessly. "How "
He was just in time." Halson beamed for pleasure upon us, and even Minver said: "Yes, that's rather nice." After a moment he added: "Rulledge thinks she put it there." "You're too bad, Minver," Halson protested. "The charm of the whole thing was her perfect innocence. She isn't capable of the slightest finesse. I've known her from a child, and I know what I say."
But it would have remained through all the imaginative ages, and the notion might have been intensified in the more delicate temperaments as time went on, and by the play of heredity it might come down to our own day in certain instances with a force scarcely impaired by the lapse of incalculable time." "You said just now," said Rulledge, in rueful reproach, "that personification had gone out."
She was calling out, 'Help! help! help! Burglars! till I thought she would raise the roof of the car." "And did she wake anybody?" Rulledge inquired. "That was the strange part of it. Not a soul stirred, and after the first burst the girl seemed to quiet down again and yield the floor to Melford, who kept bellowing steadily away.
It is most exceptional that they make a fight for their lives, as that woman did a few years ago at Dannemora, and disgusted all refined people with capital punishment." "I wish they would make a fight always," said Rulledge, with unexpected feeling. "It would do more than anything to put an end to that barbarity." "It would be very interesting, as Wanhope says," Minver remarked.
Being of no employ whatever, and spending his whole life at the club in an extraordinary idleness, Rulledge was always using the most strenuous expressions, and requiring everybody to be practical. He leaned directly forward with the difficulty that a man of his girth has in such a movement, and vigorously broke off the ash of his cigar against the edge of his saucer.
Minver asked. Rulledge would not let Wanhope answer. "Go on, Halson," he said. Halson roused himself from the revery in which he was sitting with glazed eyes. "Well, what made it a little more anxious was that he had heard of bears on that mountain, and the green afternoon light among the trees was perceptibly paling.
"What do you mean by their walking in beauty?" Rulledge asked over his shoulder. "I shall never have the measure of your ignorance, Rulledge. You don't even know Byron's lines on Hebrew loveliness? "'She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes." "Pretty good," Rulledge assented.
"They went to live provisionally at a place up the Housatonic road, somewhere perhaps Canaan; but it doesn't matter. Ormond had been suffering some time with an obscure affection of the heart " "Oh, come now!" said Rulledge. "You're not going to spring anything so pat as heart-disease on us?" "Acton is all ears," said Minver, nodding toward me. "He hears the weird note afar."
Minver asked; Rulledge threw himself back on the divan and beat the cushions with impatience. "Is it essential to give them?" "Oh no. I merely wondered. Go on." "The authorities are all right. She had disappeared with him before the others noticed. It was a thing that happened; there was no design in it; that would have been out of character.
