Then she thought, "But now, by his aid, I shall regain that dear grief!" She said: "You must let me arrange to have your pay go on. That's what Mr. Teck would have wished." She took his address, told a servant to call a taxicab, and went down the front steps with Parr, holding him by his bony arm as he lowered his crutches.
During the Reconstruction period and many years following, he, with such characters as Sap Grant, Neal Simonds, Henry Sallins, Watson and others, made nights hideous on Dry Pond by their brawls and frolics. In introducing Teck Pervis to the reader, I wish to briefly call attention to that peculiar class in the South known as the "Poor Whites."
Parr had returned to the house in Greenwich Village. Lawrence Teck had sailed secretly, that day, for Africa. She replaced the receiver on the hook, rested her head on her hands, and remained thus for a long while. In the end she formed the words: "That woman." She was thinking of "the infallible clairvoyant."
Peggy ain't got a speck o' manners! Lady b'longs ter de cream o' s'ciety, I have yer know, an' bless Gord, I b'lieve dat's all de cream dey is about her. Hyah! fur Gord's sake lis'n at me, passin' a joke on Lady! I does love to pleg dem cows dey teck it so good-natured.
He found the door, burst out into the corridor, then walked sedately under the flickering lamps toward the commandant's rooms. That yellow-visaged man jumped up from behind his desk, stammering: "Yes, it's dinner time." The candles on the dinner table jarred at the peals of thunder; but Lawrence Teck sat impassive. Toward the end of the meal he vouchsafed: "Have you reported my showing up?"
Teck Pervis sauntered in, sat down folded his arms upon the table, and sheepishly watched his wife as she flitted from place to place in the humble little kitchen. Mrs. Pervis paused, and her eyes met her husband's gaze. "Well what in ther wor'l is ter matter Teck Pervis? Why air ye gazin at me so dis mornin, turn yer cup and tak yer coffy."
Then, in a monotonous, dull tone he began again to express his various objections. Mr. Teck had gone in from a northern port a month ago. He had passed by Fort Pero d'Anhaya, telling the commandant there that he was bound back for the region in which his principals might presently seek a concession. He was, no doubt, at present in the gorges beyond the forests of the Mambava.
Her heart swelled; she turned to that fervent, handsome face beneath the turban a look of peculiar tenderness like a sword thrust, and responded in liquid tones: "What should I have done without you?" Lawrence Teck was not in the gorges of the waterfalls. While marching in through the lowlands he had been seized with a fever that he had failed to shake off on the plateaux.
"Well, ef dee ain't got 'em, sho' 'nough!" exclaimed the old driver, forgetting his fear of the cocked pistols. "Gentlemen, marsters, don't teck my horses, ef you please," he pleaded, pushing through the group that surrounded him, and approaching the man who led the horses. They only laughed at him. Both the boys ran to their mother, and flinging their arms about her, burst out crying.
