Vincent at Jacob Welse's, and this in face of the fact that what Lucile had said had been invalidated by Matt's learning of her intimacy with the man in question. Strong of friendship, quick of heart and hand, Matt did not let the grass grow under his feet.
And not only was she already ashamed, but she was frightened and afraid of herself. The next morning Corliss was knocked out of a late bed by Bash, one of Jacob Welse's Indians. He was the bearer of a brief little note from Frona, which contained a request for the mining engineer to come and see her at his first opportunity. That was all that was said, and he pondered over it deeply.
Again, there were two sides to the social life of Dawson. Up at the Barracks, at the Welse's, and a few other places, all men of standing were welcomed and made comfortable by the womenkind of like standing. There were teas, and dinners, and dances, and socials for charity, and the usual run of things; all of which, however, failed to wholly satisfy the men.
But Corliss, after several perfunctory visits, forgot the way which led to Jacob Welse's home, and applied himself savagely to his work. He even had the hypocrisy, at times, to felicitate himself upon his escape, and to draw bleak fireside pictures of the dismal future which would have been had he and Frona incompatibly mated. But this was only at times.
And each that sells a thousand pounds of grub and goes lessens the proposition by one empty stomach and fills another that remains. When does the Laura start?" "This morning, with three hundred grubless men aboard. Would that they were three thousand!" Amen to that! And by the way, when does your daughter arrive?" "'Most any day, now." Jacob Welse's eyes warmed.
It is long since I have met a woman" she paused while her tongue wandered for the word "who could quote 'Paracelsus. You are, I know you, you see, you are Jacob Welse's daughter, Frona Welse, I believe." Frona nodded her identity, hesitated, and looked at the woman with secret intentness. She was conscious of a great and pardonable curiosity, of a frank out-reaching for fuller knowledge.
To the man that made the blessed country. To hic to Jacob Welse!" "And a rider!" Blanche cried. "To Jacob Welse's daughter!" "Ay! Standing! And bottoms up!" "Oh! she's a jolly good fellow," Del led off, the drink ruddying his cheek. "I'd like to shake hands with you, just once," Blanche said in a low voice, while the rest were chorusing.
Where is the magnificence? It is a fake!" The baron shook his fists angrily at the river, and Jacob Welse's thick brows seemed to draw down in order to hide the grim smile in his eyes. "Ha! ha! I laugh! I snap my fingers! See! I defy!" As the challenge left his lips. Baron Courbertin stepped upon a cake which rubbed lightly past at his feet.
She drew a deep breath and looked out over the water to the further shore, where Jacob Welse's tent, like a snowy handkerchief, sprawled against the deep green of the forest. "I do not believe there is such a place," she added. "There is no Paris." "And I was in London a twelvemonth past," Corliss meditated. "But I have undergone a new incarnation. London? There is no London now. It is impossible.
