"The First Lord of the Treasury;" so spoke the Speaker almost softly and, in a moment, when he had realized what had taken place, the Old Man was upright, and the Liberal and Irish members were on their feet, waving their hats, cheering themselves hoarse. And yet an undercurrent and audible note of anxiety ran through all the enthusiasm.
Locke, in the library, was laughing quietly with Eva over the success of the ruse. But there was, notwithstanding, an undercurrent of seriousness running through their thoughts.
In the confusion, Felipe, with a pale, set face, pushed the statue back into its place. Even then a premonition of horror swept over him. What was he, the son, to find behind that secret door, at sight of which his mother had died with that look of anguished terror in her eyes? All through the sad duties of the next four days Felipe was conscious of the undercurrent of this premonition.
Still, she had an uneasy suspicion that something was wrong, and allowed an undercurrent of feeling to run within her, which, if reduced to language, would have perhaps assumed the form, "Well, but he is so gentle, so respectful, so very unlike all the braves I have ever seen; but I hate him, for all that! Is he not the enemy of my tribe?"
Thorn turned on him, a savage, smothered noise in his throat. "You can say that because you owe me money, but you know it's a damn lie! If you didn't owe me money, I'd make you swaller it with hot lead!" "You're talkin' a little too free for a man of your trade, Mark." While Chadron's tone was tolerant, even friendly, there was an undercurrent of warning, even threat, in his words.
I exclaimed. "Oh, sure, sure!" he agreed, yet without indignation. "And the Cap just hated her for it you could tell that by the way he looked at her. Oh, he hates her something terrible. He just can't bear the sight of her." "Naturally enough," I observed, though there had been an undercurrent to his speech that I thought almost quite a little odd. His accents were queerly placed.
"What are you talking about?" "Do not tease not now. Tell me." There was an undercurrent of wistfulness in Betty's voice which touched the kindhearted brother. "Well, to-day a certain young man asked me if he could relieve me of the responsibility of looking after a certain young lady." "Oh " "Wait a moment. I told him I would be delighted." "Eb, that was unkind."
Let us remain here for a few days, or as long as you like. I have arranged my affairs so as to be at liberty. Our little paradise can wait for us." He spoke pleasantly, but with an undercurrent of anxiety. Jeanne came slowly to him, and calmly taking his hand, said: "You are very good." "I am not making any efforts to be so," retorted Cayrol, smiling. "What do I ask?
"That manicure girl is a circus," said Mrs. Owen, quite oblivious of the undercurrent of her niece's thoughts. "When they had a vaudeville show last winter she did the best stunts of any of 'em. You didn't mention those Jewesses that I had such a row to get in? Smart girls. One of 'em is the fastest typewriter in town; she's a credit to Jerusalem, that girl. And a born banker.
Sometimes it passed through lighted spaces and sometimes through pools of darkness; and as it went on rapidly, it seemed to Corinna that it was the one solid fact in a night that she imagined. Patty was very still; but Corinna felt the warm clasp of her hand, and heard her soft breathing, which became a part of the muffled undercurrent of the sleeping city.
