Long she sat, wondering how best to treat this unexpected appeal from a far country; and only when the trim maid who had replaced the more haphazard Mrs. Swastika entered with the lighted lamp did Eva rouse herself from her reverie. Then, however, she got pen and paper and sat down at the table to frame some sort of reply. It was not an easy task.
In a minute he returned, dragging after him a good-sized bath, filled to the brim with towels of every description. "Now, I'll put it here, in front of the fire." He worked as he spoke. "And if I fill these two big cans there'll be enough water. What a blessing Mrs. Swastika kept a good fire to-day." "Mrs. Swastika?" In the midst of her discomfiture Toni thought the name odd.
There is a small water-vessel on board, filled with fresh water, and an incense- cup; and along the gunwales flutter little paper banners bearing the mystic manji, which is the Sanscrit swastika. The form of the shoryobune and the customs in regard to the time and manner of launching them differ much in different provinces.
"I drew a tiny little swastika inside the envelope, and I made three crosses over it with my right forefinger," confessed Hilary, "but I don't suppose it's any use; they'll probably come packing back." "Well, if they do you must send them to some other magazine," said Stuart hopefully. Diana felt a little cheered up after reading three chapters of Ivanhoe, but she was still angry with Hilary.
Then, when the charm of the silence had gotten in its good work, and the little green quatrefoil had been fastened into the outstretched right hand of Many Eyes, Hinpoha selected several soft, flat stones from the stream and carved them with further good luck omens the swastika, the horseshoe, and all the other signs she could think of that were supposed to bring good luck.
In these my Maramba Meetchik-Atak found the prediction that the Hutuktu of Zain who should carry the title of 'Pandita, should be but twenty-one years of age, be born in the heart of the lands of Jenghiz Khan and have on his chest the natural sign of the swastika such Hutuktu would be honored by the people in the days of a great war and trouble, would begin the fight with the servants of Red evil and would conquer them and bring order into the universe, celebrating this happy day in the city with white temples and with the songs of ten thousand bells.
And the deep distinctive ruts were changing to a complex pattern, like the rails in a city switchyard. She picked out the track of the one motor car that had been through here recently. It was marked with the swastika tread of the rear tires. That track was her friend; she knew and loved the driver of a car she had never seen in her life. She was very tired.
The Swastika had come from the railroad terminus at Flora City during the night, laden with small land buyers bound up the Chokohatchee River for the Paradise Gardens Colony, and had laid up at Gumbo Key at the mouth of the river to wait for daylight. Payne had secured passage upon it, bound for his prairie land beyond the head waters of the Chokohatchee.
Storm Troop officers had white and red arm bands with the swastika superimposed on them. Every twenty minutes the Troopers, clicking their heels in the best Nazi fashion, changed guard in front of the speakers' stand. The Hitler Youth organization was present.
Swastika, as I call her, is what is known as a 'good plain cook, but anything at all elaborate throws her off her balance altogether." "Have you no other servants?" she demanded shortly. "Not yet. I didn't want them, you know, and I thought you would prefer to choose them yourself." "I? If I can get any," she said darkly, drawing her delicate brows together resentfully.
