And out of the race, for we were all too near the finish for her to win out then unless the Johnnie and the Withrow capsized entirely. Mr. Duncan, when he saw the Lucy's crew trying to save the headsails, couldn't contain himself. "Cut 'em away cut 'em to hell!" he sang out, and we all had to smile, he spoke so excitedly. But it was no use.
They were sweet and straight and generous, both of them, and they knew all about the grand manner. The grand manner is the most comfortable thing to live with that I know. I used to go there a good deal, and Arnold Withrow went even more than I did, though he wasn't even hanging on to Art by the eyelids as I do. So I seem to myself, in the magazines ... "but out in pantry, good Lord!"
I looked at Alice Miss Foster I always called her myself and certainly she was a lovely girl, though perhaps a little too conscious of it. She was one of the few that weren't going in for anything that I could see. She wasn't even weighing herself, or at least she didn't until Mr. Withrow, with his company manners in fine working order, asked her if she wouldn't allow him to weigh her.
But where's he gone into the other room? Well, if he was here 'twould be the same. He's got a vessel that can sail. Let him sail her to-morrow and win, if it's in her or in him. But a thousand dollars and outside my house and vessel, Lord knows, it's all the money I've got in the world beyond my house and vessel a thousand dollars the Colleen beats the Withrow.
He passed the word about that Kathleen Somers was not going to die though I believe he did it with his heart in his mouth, not really assured she wouldn't. It took some of us a long time to shift our ground and be thankful. Withrow, with a wisdom beyond his habit, did not go near her until autumn.
'Lord! says somebody 'twas Withrow himself 'but if that don't look like the ghost of Maurice Blake's vessel! 'Yes, hollers back the skipper and they must've been some surprised to hear him 'and the ghost'll be with you to-morrow in the race. Yes, the skipper says, 'and we're all ready for it.
"It's very strange" Withrow, strain though he did, could hardly make out the words, they fell so softly "that I just couldn't see it before. It's only these last days.... And now I feel as if I wanted to see every leaf on every tree. It wasn't so last year. They say something to me now.
By this time everybody knew that Hollis had put his ballast back during the night. One of Wesley Marrs's men jumped onto the Withrow and below and had a look for himself.
Two of these are at this end of the project. Carter runs a filling station at the forks of the road and Withrow, next to him, hunts, traps, and plays a fiddle. I acquired the two tracts at the far end of the project and Gillis, our enterprising neighbor, owns two parcels next to me and operates the abandoned tracts under grazing allotments.
O'Donnell in his turn could have crowded Ohlsen when he let up on the Withrow, but he did not. He, too, held up in turn and let Ohlsen have his swing going across. Across we went, one after the other. West-sou'west was the course to a stake-boat, which we were told would be found off Egg Rock, fourteen miles away.
