And ere the film actress lingeringly left him to rejoin her company, Louise was some distance in advance. His sisters were near her. Lawford could see them look at her most superciliously, and the saucy Cecile said something that made Prue laugh aloud. Just beyond the Tapp girls was approaching a group of women and men. Lawford recognized them as the Perritons and their friends.
Betty in her heavy boots would be wellnigh helpless in the choppy sea. If it were possible to rescue Lawford Tapp she would do it herself. The human mind is a wonderfully constituted mechanism, may we call it?
The artillery had been cowed by Major Gordon's vigor, but its efficiency remained more doubtful than could be satisfactory to the general responsible for its condition, and also relying upon it as the most potent arm of his force. He resolved to remove the old commander, and to appoint an English officer, Major Tapp, in his place.
He travels like a circus, with all the press-agent work and newspaper hurrah; he conducts what are called "revivals", in an enormous "tabernacle" built especially for him in each city. I cannot better describe the Billy Sunday circus than in the words of a certain Sidney C. Tapp, who brought suit against the evangelist for $100,000 damages for the theft of the ideas of a book. Says Mr.
A really remarkable young man, and so I told Mrs. Perriton just now. So brave of him to venture out in the lifeboat as a volunteer. "I have just been talking to his father. Quite a remarkable man I. Tapp. One of these rough diamonds, you know, Ernest. And he is so enthusiastic about Louise.
"Maybe she will not appear at all," Louise suggested comfortingly. "I don't know. I got a letter from her mother putting the visit off till later. But it can't be put off forever. Anyhow, when she comes Lawford says he won't be at home. I hope the girls will act nice to her." "I will," Louise assured her. "And I'll make Mr. Tapp like me yet; you see if I don't."
Leaning against a curb hitching post was a person who enchained his attention. "It's Tapp Jim Tapp," said Andy. "I'd know that slouch of his shoulders anywhere." The person under his inspection was swinging a light bamboo cane and smoking a cigarette. He wore a jet black moustache and a jet black speck of a goatee.
"Does he ever really care what any of us does?" observed Marian, yet looking doubtfully at her mother. "You don't understand, girls!" wailed Mrs. Tapp, wringing her hands. "You know he made me write and invite that Johnson girl here." "Oh, Dot Johnson!" said Prue. "Well, she is harmless." "She's not harmless," declared Mrs. Tapp.
Lawford Tapp sometimes speculated on that shirt how it chanced to be in Cap'n Abe's stock and why it had hung there until the flies had taken title to it! Centrally located was the stove, its four heavily rusted legs set in a shallow box which was sometimes filled with fresh sawdust. The stovepipe, guyed by wires to the ceiling, ran back to the chimney behind Cap'n Abe.
In face of the inflexible resolve of the leader, however, the officers repented, and appeared in a body at the camp begging to be taken back, and expressing their willingness to accept "Major Tapp or any one else" as their colonel.
