Wilton Lackaye, then appearing as that white-eyed, hairy, awful Svengali everybody so loathed and applauded, dramatically recited a remarkable and original poem called the "Song of Broadway." Many a time since have I remembered the scene, the song, the company; the long, wine-stained tables, the eddying cigarette smoke, the acute, lively faces.
Only one voice seems out of tune: the white-eyed vireo, even to-day, cannot forget his saucy accent. But he soon falls silent. Perhaps, after all, he feels himself an intruder. The morning is cloudless and warm, till suddenly, as if a door had been opened eastward, the sea breeze strikes me. Henceforth the temperature is perfect as I sit in the shadow. I think neither of heat nor of cold.
There at his left was the smoky shelf of blind Moulay's café black-faced, white-eyed old Moulay. Moulay was dead now many years, but the men still sat in the same attitudes, holding the same cups, smoking the same chibouk with the same gulping of bubbles as in the happy days.
"I'm a Texan myself," twinkled Johnson. "What if you are? You ain't wall-eyed, be you? And you ain't been makin' no cracks at California not to me. But this here Jim look at the white-eyed, tow-headed grinnin' scoundrel, will you? Say, are you goin' to cover that X or are you goin' to crawfish?" "Back down? You peevish little sawed-off runt!" yelped Jim.
Dahlia was hard to her caress, and crying, "Has he come?" stood at bay, white-eyed, and looking like a thing strung with wires. "No, dearest; he will not trouble you. Have no fear." "Are you full of deceit?" said Dahlia, stamping her foot. "I hope not, my sister." Dahlia let fall a long quivering breath.
The bull smelt at his brother; then again he flung his head up to look at the white-eyed one, and he moved away for the vlei, moaning as he went. The dogs let him pass; their eyes scarcely went to him, for they were fixed on the fallen.
Scamp, on the other hand, would hold it in his mouth for a moment till he had savoured it, then place it meekly on the floor, bow his head to the ground, and grovel flat with deprecatory white-eyed up-glances, and as clearly as dog could say, would murmur, "Oh, Man, Lord of all that go on four legs, forgive thy humble little servant in that he is unable with enjoyment to eat that thou hast of thy bounty tendered him!
It isn't good form, it really isn't, to see a man of his age, with his face blacked, coming in after dinner with a banjo, calling himself the Musical White-eyed Kaffir, as he did the last time I was there. I find it deplace that's the word, deplace. He seemed to think that we were all children at a juvenile party! I was saying so to Lord Rye only last night.
If these are bred inter se, there are, as in ordinary Mendelian cases, three red-eyed to one white-eyed in the F2 generation, but white eyes occur only in the males, in other wards half the males are white-eyed. On the other hand, when a white-eyed female is mated to a red-eyed male all the daughters have red eyes, and all the sons white eyes. This has been termed crisscross inheritance.
"Now, one mule can cause a heap of tribulation, and six mules can break a man's heart, but there wasn't no excuse for that driver to stand up on his hind legs, close his eyes, and throw thirty foot of lash into that plunging buckin', white-eyed mess.
