Whether my plan was successful or not, I shall leave my reader to judge. I found Weir busy as usual, but not with a coffin this time. He was working at a window-sash. "Just like life," I thought tritely perhaps. "The other day he was closing up in the outer darkness, and now he is letting in the light." "It's a long time since you was here last, sir," he said, but without a smile.
But some folks in Mayfair, ma'am, will owe him a grudge!" and she clicked back the bolt which held the window-sash, and let the air into the chamber. "You had better send that woman some money," Mr. Osborne said, before he went out. "She shan't want for nothing. Send her a hundred pound." "And I'll go and see her to-morrow?" Miss Osborne asked. "That's your lookout. She don't come in here, mind.
It was the wary lifting of a window-sash. He ran forward into the narrow shade of the house itself, and lost to the restraints of reason, carried away on transports of love, without hope of any reply, whispered, "Daphne!" And a tender whisper came back "Wait a minute." "You'll come down?" he whisperously asked; but the window closed on his words, the dim light vanished, and all was still.
After picking enough sulphur off my clothes to make a box of matches, I reached gently over and tried to put the window up, but it was closed tighter than a sacred saloon on Sunday. I gave the window-sash a couple of upper-cuts and a few short-arm punches, but it sat there and laughed in my face. The brakeman came through, and I spoke to him about the window.
A clerk within the office was pounding on the window-sash, for the paint which the building had been treated to in honor of the occasion had gummed it fast. Axel Peterson, straining his long neck, swallowing dry gulps, looked to the right, the left, the rear. The ends of his fingers were fairly on Claim Number One; nobody was pressing forward to supplant him and take away his chance.
'That'll do, said she; and crying shrilly, 'Give us a lift, sweetheart, in a twinkling she shoved the window up, at the same time kneeling, with a spring, upon the sill, and getting her long leg into the room, with her shoulder under the window-sash, her foot firmly planted on the floor, and her face and head in the apartment.
"One yip out of you, and you get a bullet out of your own gun!" I warned him; and then I got speech with the driver, a squat, thickset Irishman, whose face and brogue were both strange to me. "Drive to the Farmers' Bank side door and be quick about it!" I called to him over the lowered window-sash. "I'm hired to go to the train. Who's payin' me for the side-trip?" he queried impatiently.
Then, when she felt her strength wasn't no account against his, she gave one piercing, terrible scream, so long and unnatural-like in the tone of it that it curdled my very blood. I lifted up the window-sash quick, and jumped in; but before I made two steps Jim sprang past me, and raised his pistol. 'Drop her! he shouts to Moran; 'you hound!
And he did not see that Angelique smiled, half hidden as she was by the open window-sash. It was an invincible smile, that, little by little, spread over her whole face. Ah! the dear fellow! How simple and trusting he was as he outpoured the prayer of his heart, filled with new longings and love, in bowing before her, as before the highest ideal of all his youthful dreams.
But in answer to the third, which was of a more vigorous kind, the parlour window-sash was gently raised, and a musical voice cried: 'Haredale, my dear fellow, I am extremely glad to see you. How very much you have improved in your appearance since our last meeting! I never saw you looking better. HOW do you do?
