He fancied the prostration was meant as a sign of devotion to his will, signed to him to rise, and whispered, as if afraid of hearing his own words: "Act quickly and secretly; and, as you value your life, let no one know of the upstart's death. Depart, and when your work is finished, take as much as you like out of the treasury. But keep your wits about you.
"Ah, I'm glad," said Tom, maliciously. "Won't that upstart's pride be taken down? He was too proud to go to the poorhouse, where he belonged, but he can't help his sister's going there. If he isn't a pauper himself, he'll be the brother of a pauper, and that's the next thing to it." "That is true," said the deacon. "He was very impudent in return for my kindness. Still, I am sorry for him."
If this, in conjunction with that other document I shall show at the same time, doesn't put an end to that upstart's chances with Gilcrest's daughter, I'm much out of my reckoning. Ah, Betty! bewitching, tormenting Betty! I'll have you yet in spite of your stand-off airs and half-veiled scorn of James Anson Drane."
Then, standing uncovered in that wonderfully lit room, he gazed down at the upstart's mighty urn. Long he stood under that spell of line and colour and magnitude, lost in the spaciousness of it. No Balthasar had cheated here. There lay the mighty and little man who had never lost belief in himself who had been only a little chastened by an adversity due to the craven world's fear of his prowess.
He discovered a bathroom adjoining and was presently suffering the celestial agonies of a cold bath with no waster to coerce him. He dressed with indignant muttering, and with occasional glances out at that supreme upstart's memorial. He chose his suit of the most legible checks. He had been a little fearful about it in New York.
"Mister, I want a word in private with you." "Certainly, sir," replied Dave. He was no longer crew captain on duty, but a fourth class man answering a first class man. Henley conducted Dave out of earshot of any one else before he turned to say, hissingly: "Mister, you used an upstart's privilege of abusing your authority this afternoon." "I think not, sir," replied Dave quietly.
But Amelia took the matter sorely to heart; she kept her love, yet fell into a consumption, and so wasted away; or, as one of the neighbors said, "she was executed on the scaffold of an upstart's vulgarity." Nathan loved no woman in like manner afterwards, but after her death went to India, and remained years long.
