"Mac, don't you see? Can't you understand? You've got to stop. Oh, it's dreadful! Listen." She hurried around the table to him and caught his arm in both her hands. "Huh?" growled McTeague, looking at her with a puzzled frown. "They'll arrest you. You'll go to prison. You can't work can't work any more. We're ruined." Vanovitch was pounding on the door of the sitting-room.
There's Vanovitch at two on Wednesday, and Loughhead's wife Thursday morning, and Heise's little girl Thursday afternoon at one-thirty; Mrs. Watson on Friday, and Vanovitch again Saturday morning early at seven. That's what I was to have had, and they ain't going to come. They ain't ever going to come any more." Trina took the little slate from him and looked at it ruefully.
They had both heard the jangling of the bell that McTeague had hung over the door of his "Parlors." The dentist looked at the kitchen clock. "That's Vanovitch," said he. "He's a plumber round on Sutter Street. He's got an appointment with me to have a bicuspid pulled. I got to go back to work." He rose. "But you can't," cried Trina, the back of her hand upon her lips, her eyes brimming.
"Something troubles you," said his young friend Andre Vanovitch, who had for some time sat smoking quietly at his side, gazing into the fire, and thinking, no doubt, of the girl with the auburn hair, far away in the land of the Muscove. "Yes, I'm troubled about friends," was the scout's laconic answer.
"He's a fine-looking man, sir, is he not?" said a voice at my elbow. I turned in amazement. It was Dobri Petroff! There was no room for more than a squeeze of the hand at such a moment. "That is our friend Andre Vanovitch, sir." As he spoke I saw the captain of the troop fall from his horse.
"I got a mould to make to-morrow," McTeague said, "and Vanovitch, that plumber round on Sutter Street, he's coming again at three." "Well, you go right ahead," Trina told him, decisively; "you go right ahead and make the mould, and pull every tooth in Vanovitch's head if you want to. Who's going to know? Maybe they just sent that notice as a matter of form.
