The senator's son said: "When these rats and things begin to chase your old elephants, you won't be able to see their tails for the dust they will kick up." Then I thought of the money pa had given me to bet, and I offered to bet it all, and a negro produced funds and took all my bets like a bookmaker.
And then it was that the something happened, that the irreparable words were spoken, which suddenly and most rudely opened the Senator's eyes to a truth which the English lawyer had seen almost from the first moment of his stay in Paris. Gerald Burton started up. His face was curiously pale under its healthy tan, but the Senator noticed that his son's eyes were extraordinarily bright. "Father?"
"Rather let us endeavor," interrupted Dorothea, "to induce him at once to put aside his models, and to execute other more pious works. Agapitus has keen eyes, and the heathen work is only too dear to the lad's heart." The senator's brow grew dark at the last words, and he said, not without some excitement, "Everything that the heathen do is not to be condemned.
Again Jan lay down on the bed and turned his face to the wall. What did he care for the hut and all that? What was the good of his going on living, when his little girl was not coming back? The first few weeks after the senator's call Jan was unable to do a stroke of work: he just lay abed and grieved.
Beyond was a high hill, covered with a primeval forest. "There ought to be some game in that woods," said Dave, as they continued to move forward. "If the cowboys haven't shot everything worth shooting," answered the senator's son.
She would have won her bet; for Orion, who had remained unmoved by his sister-in-law's letter, by the warning voice of the faith of his childhood, by the faithful council of his honest servant Nilus, or by the senator's convincing arguments had yielded to Heliodora's sweet blandishments. How ardently had her loving heart flamed up, when she saw him so deeply agitated at the sight of her!
The party had removed from the inn and the senator's white slaves were already mixing with the black and brown ones of the establishment.
"We better change the subject," said the president, and rose from the table, and we all got up. He patted me on the head, and said: "Tell your pa I will see him later, and in the meantime, you run your circus and I will try to run mine." The queerest thing happened that night. The senator's boy spoke of our trained seals, that catch a fish if you throw it to them and swallow it whole.
Memory of the nauseating horror came over him in a physical wave; and curiously enough, he kept hearing the soft voice of the Senator's scoffing question: "Who of the public gives one damn?" It was easier sitting smug inside the firing line.
"The change must have been very sudden. They were elected as Catlin men, we were told." "Yes. But there's quite a different feeling in the ward now, and they have yielded to it." "That's good news." "We all three come here prepared to do what seems best." The Senator's expression lost some of the satisfaction Peter's news had put into it.
