She stood at the lantern-illumined booth, with Pearlie in the background, and dispensed an unbelievable amount of strawberries. Sid Strang and the hotel bench brigade assisted. They made engagements to take Pearlie and her friend down river next day, and to the ball game, and planned innumerable picnics, gazing meanwhile into the leading lady's eyes.
Doctor Milton, Strang's life-long friend, who had fought for the banker's life, watched her carefully, but there was no catalepsy, no tranced woman held in a vise of endurance. Nothing Evelyn Strang did was odd or unnatural, only she seemed, particularly before the burial, to be waiting intently for some revelation, toward which her desire burned consumingly, like a powerful flame.
Strang thought such things about me. I wonder that you have not questioned me before only you see now I can't answer!" The boy gave her his slow, serious smile, reminding her.
As it is, I am compelled to grope and guess my way to times and places of my earlier existences. A peculiar thing about my Adam Strang existence is that I recollect so little of the first thirty years of it. Many times, in the jacket, has Adam Strang recrudesced, but always he springs into being full-statured, heavy-thewed, a full thirty years of age.
I tell you that I am going to kill Strang!" Neil stood as though appalled by his companion's incomprehension. "I am going to kill Strang, I tell you!" he cried again, the fire burning deeper through the sweat of his cheeks. Nathaniel's bewilderment still shone in his face. "She is not Strang's wife," he spoke softly, as if to himself.
"He's not ower strang yet; ye ken that by lukin' at 'im; but he's a braw lad, a braw lad." The lady turned and looked earnestly into Bachelor Billy's face. "He's the bravest boy," she said, "the very bravest boy I ever knew or heard, of, and the very best. I want him, Billy; I have come here to-night to ask you if I may have him.
Evelyn Strang could see the inevitable limitations of his world training creep slowly over him like cement hardening around the searching roots of his mind. She marveled. She remembered Strang's pet phrase, "the plaster of Paris of so-called 'normal thinking." Then the youth's helpless appeal came to her: "Do you not think that I am doing wrong to speak of these things?"
Very shortly all the younger men of the party were stowed away, some under the thwarts, others under a couple of tarpaulins which Strang had put in for the purpose. All weapons were carefully hidden, and the dozen older men, who were all that were left in sight, were directed to loll about, as though suffering from long exposure or fatigue.
'Well, yes, said Arthur, 'in a sense but nothing would have happened to them. They had wiped it out. Mannering shook his head. Then with a great and evident effort he changed the conversation. 'You know Pamela's in town? 'Yes, with Margaret Strang. I'm going to dine there to-night. How's the new agent getting on? Aubrey smiled. 'Which? the man or the lady? 'Miss Bremerton, of course.
Strang saw the flash of doubt in his face, the hesitancy in his answer; he divined the working of the other's brain and in his soft voice, purring with friendship, he followed up his triumph. "I sympathize with you," he spoke gently, "and my sympathy and word shall help you. We do not welcome strangers among us, for strangers have usually proved themselves our enemies and have done us wrong.
