Tom O'Hara, illustrating her beauty, her importance, and the incidental importance of himself; and it was with profound surprise and deep offence that he discovered that neither Malcourt nor Miss Suydam were listening.
"Thank you," she said in curt negation. "Are you quite sure?" "Quite. What do you mean?" "There is one thing I might do for your sake," he smiled "blow my bally brains out." She said in a low contemptuous voice: "Better resort to that for your own sake than do what you are doing to Miss Suydam." "What am I doing to Miss Suydam?" "Making love to her."
They streaked through the rooms like chain lightning, and in the dead of night went galloping over the piano keyboard with sounds so blood-curdling that Suydam put his mattress on the sofa and his sleeping-bag on top of that, and, shutting himself in, defied them.
Suydam agreed, with emphasis. "The result is that when I am with her I forget the few things I have done that are worth while, and I become the farm-hand again. I'm naturally rough and angular, and she sees it." "Oh, you're too sensitive! You have a heart like a girl underneath that saturnine front of yours, and while you look like the Sphinx, you are really as much of a kid at heart as I am.
During two years' service with New York's most fashionable physician the driver had never received a command like this, and he opened up his machine. A policeman warned him at Thirty-third Street and the car slowed down, at which Suydam leaned forward, crying, roughly: "To hell with regulations! There's a man dying!" The last word was jerked from him as he was snapped back into his seat.
He waved a comprehensive gesture, and Suydam, marveling at the manner in which the fellow concealed his infirmity, brought a chair for the caller. "I came alone to-day. Mother is shopping," Miss Moore was saying. "See! I brought these flowers to cheer up your room." She held up a great bunch of sweet peas. "I love the pink ones, don't you?" Austin addressed the doctor.
Austin was poised in an attitude of the intensest alertness, his angular, awkward body was drawn to its full height, his lean face was lighted by some hidden fire that lent it almost beauty. "She's getting out of the carriage," he cried, in a nervous voice; then he felt his way to his accustomed arm-chair. Suydam was about to go to the bay-window when he paused, regarding his friend curiously.
But it's not a senseless shriek; it's a dignified protest. I tell you I've learned to depend on myself, recently at Mrs. Ascott's suggestion. And I'm doing it now by wiring Virginia Suydam to come and fill in the third table. "Now I want you to come back at once. If you don't I'm going to have a serious talk with you, Louis. I've taken Mrs.
He sat, eyes idly following the slight swaying motion of her hammock, the smile still edging his lips. "Don't worry about Miss Suydam," he said; "she can take care of herself. What I want to say is this: Once out of mistaken motives which nobody, including yourself, would ever credit I gave you all I had to give my name.... It's not much of a name; but I thought you could use it.
She was already half-way to the beach, walking with Cecile and Hamil toward the pavilion; and, starting across the shallows to overtake her, he suddenly came face to face with Virginia Suydam. She was moving hip-deep out through the seething tide, slim, graceful, a slight flush tinting the usual delicate pallor of her cheeks.
