Parker talked more slang in an hour than I think I ever heard in my whole life, though I have always considered Stan talented in that way. But Stan's slang, and Vic's, are quite different from American slang. In America, you build up your whole conversation out of it, and it's wonderful.
A note was pencilled on a page of Frank's diary, attached to Vic's collar, and she was taken to the river-bank and given a stick, with orders to deliver it to her master. With but little hesitation she plunged into the murky current, and soon disappeared in the darkness in the direction of the other shore. While the boy sergeants were going through these adventures I remained in La Paz.
"No need to settle things now. Wait and think it over." And Vic decided in a blind way to think it over. In the rotunda he met Trench, old Trench, slow of step but a lightning calculator. "Where are you going?" he exclaimed, as he saw Vic's face. "I'm going to the whirlpool before I'm through," Vic said, hoarsely.
"Annette!" cried Adrien, her hand on Vic's shoulder. "Go and get her!" Halting the car, Vic leaped from the wheel, ran to where the girls' squad was halted and caught Annette by the arm. "Annette," he said, "get your girls away from here quick! Come with us!" But Annette laughed scornfully at him. "Go with you?
"And your figure couldn't be beat. Believe me, I know. You ought to see some of them Janes and at that, they manage to get by with their stuff. A little camera experience, under a good director that would bring out your good points I was going to spring the idea before, but I knew dad wouldn't stand for it." "But we've got to go and live on that claim. We've got to." Vic's face purpled.
It looks like a little hole dug out," Elinor declared. Vic's brown sweater sleeve was pushed up to the elbow. "It is a little hole I put in where I dug out the flesh with a pocket knife," he replied, carelessly. "Did you do that yourself?" Elinor cried. "What made you be so cruel?" "I wasn't so cruel. 'I seen my duty and I done it noble, as the essay runs.
The news of Vic's arrival with a message spread quickly, and soon the household was gathered in my room and in possession of the news of the exploit of the boys and Tom Clary. "Good! good!" exclaimed the director of the Navigation Company. "Come with me to the Cocopah. We'll steam across and get the whole party."
In mid-channel they were met by De Vic's vessels with the French banner displayed, at which sight the English commander was so wroth that he forthwith ordered a broadside to be poured into the audacious foreigner; swearing with mighty oaths that none but the English flag should be shown in those waters.
This was almost defeating the purpose of his play for if he came that close again they would probably make out that they were following a decoy. Accordingly, since he had now drawn them well away from Vic's line of escape, he turned his back reluctantly on the posse and struck across the hills.
Vic's voice was kindly, yet firm and gravely commanding. "We're all right. Only temporarily we're Infra-Medians. Sit down, Pete, and let's talk. It may be that there's no time to lose in making some plans." "First of all," I insisted, "tell me where we are; what's happened to us. Do you know?" "Where we are? Surely. Looking at it in one way, we're less than a mile from my laboratory." "But, Vic!"
