Skepsey had no objection to his hero's doing so, though at his personal cost. The sticks were handed to them; the crowd increased; their rounders boys had spied them, and came trooping to the scene. Skepsey was directed to hit in earnest.
Dartrey appealed tempestuously to the Ring; Skepsey likewise, in a tone of injury. He addressed a remonstrance to Captain Dartrey. 'Hang your captain, sir! I call you a coward; come on, said the resolute gentleman, already in ripe form for the attack. His blue eyes were like the springing sunrise over ridges of the seas; and Skepsey jumped to his meaning.
'If you were to see a rascal giant mishandling a woman? Skepsey conjured the scene by bending his head and peering abstractedly, as if over spectacles. 'I would beg him to abstain, for his own sake. Mr. Fenellan knew that the little fellow was not boasting. 'My brother Dartrey had a lesson or two from you in the first principles, I think?
One fellow in the crowded pit, affecting a familiarity with Simeon, that permitted the taking of liberties with the orator's Christian name, mildly amused him. He had no objection to hear 'Simmy' shouted, as Louise de Seilles observed. She was of his mind, in regard to the rough machinery of Freedom. Skepsey entered the box.
She reproached herself for coldness to poor Skepsey, when he had gone. The prospect of her being alone until the morning had been so absorbing a relief. She found a relief also in work at the book of the trains. A walk to the telegraph-station strengthened her. Especially after despatching a telegram to Mr. Dudley Sowerby at Cronidge, and one to Nesta at Moorsedge, did she become stoutly nerved.
Skepsey had nevertheless to consume his food excellent, very tasty soup-with the sour sauce of the thought that he must be tongue-tied in his defence for the time of the dinner. 'No, dear Skips, please! you are to enjoy yourself, said Nesta. He answered confusedly, trying to assure her that he was doing so, and he choked. His master had fixed his arrival for twenty minutes earlier.
He flicked his leg with the stick he carried, said: 'Your master's the man to make a change among them, old friend! and strolled along to a group surrounding two fellows who shammed a bout at single-stick. Vacuity in the attack on either side, contributed to the joint success of the defense. They paused under inspection; and Dartrey said: 'You're burning to give them a lesson, Skepsey.
In appearance, he had the likeness of a fallen parson. Carling and Victor crossed looks that were questions carrying their answers. Nataly's eyes followed Victor's. 'Who is the man? she said; and she got no reply beyond a perky sparkle in his gaze. Others were noticing the man, who was trying to pass by Skepsey, now on his right side, now on his left.
Fenellan said it laughing, he meant no harm. Skepsey was sure he had the words. He heard no more than other people hear; he remembered whole sentences, and many: on one of his runs, this active little machine, quickened by motion to fire, revived the audible of years back; whatever suited his turn of mind at the moment rushed to the rapid wheels within him.
Then the Frenchman, requiring to shrug, gave way to the Englishman's eccentric obstinacy, and signified that he was his guide. Quite so, and Skepsey showed alacrity and confidence in following; he carried his bag. But with the remembrance of the kindly serviceable man at Rouen, he sought to convey to the porter, that the terms of their association were cordial.
