It expressed one whom dead days loved well. The writer of the letter seemed to be holding in life all those gentlewomen who had formed her. In a short time Mrs. Prescott would be at the Arsenal. That meant a more difficult game. Did it also mean an impossible one? Yet Katie would prefer showing her Ann to Mrs. Prescott than to Zelda Fraser.
"This woman is ill," answered Sanselme, roughly, who now understood the kind of a place he was in. "Get out of my way!" he added. "Ill! Oh! what stuff. Come on, though. I will see to this to-morrow!" And she took down a lantern from the wall and led the way up the creaking stairs. Two or three men came out of the lower room at the same moment. "Is that Zelda?" they shouted.
Zelda spoke feelingly of the approaching nuptials of her old school friend. "Cal's considerable of a prissy, but take it from me, Harry Prescott will see that all father's money doesn't pour into homes for the friendless so there's something accomplished. Heaven help the poor fellow who must live on his pay," sighed Zelda piously. Major Darrett, too, was to be congratulated on his father-in-law.
Jack's work was more slow, this time. It was some moments before he had the new range figured out. "How far astern of the 'Zelda' are we now?" called Jacob Farnum. "A shade over a half a mile." "Whew! And the race only a third run." "In other words," went on the young captain, "the Rhinds boat is gaining steadily on us at the rate of a quarter of a mile an hour.
"There goes the Rhinds boats" called Mr Farnum, as one of the other submarines left her moorings, making for sea in the wake of the "Chelsea," which gunboat was to act as the starter's boat for that day. "What's the name of that particular Rhinds boat?" asked Jack. "The 'Zelda'," replied Lieutenant Danvers. "Nice, lady-like name for a fighting boat," mocked Jack.
It is something like Zeld, and we have got to calling her Zelda it is more taking, you know." "Yes, I see; but do you know anything of her past?" "Not much." "She has a daughter?" "Yes, which is not at all pleasant for us. Of course, the child can't live here; she stays across the street. Zelda goes every night to the shop for her.
Eph, being at the wheel, could be trusted not to look around, but to keep his eyes straight on the gunboat mark ahead. John C. Rhinds could be seen, hanging limply over the rail of the "Zelda," his straining vision turned ahead. But he was being left more and more to the rear. Boom! The sound came suddenly over the water, at last.
As the "Zelda" came to her moorings in the inky blackness John C. Rhinds stepped out upon her platform deck. Rhinds, after his disappointment, looked like a very old man. He paced back and forth, moodily, until his captain and crew had gone below. Then Rhinds turned, with a half snarl, when Fred Radwin, after lighting a cigar, stepped outside.
Daring looks up amazed and Zelda pretends great agitation. Daring is not unkind to her. He tells her he has not discovered the will as yet. Spoken title: "I am sure that I can find a will and that you are provided for." Continuing scene, Daring speaks the above. Zelda thanks him and undulates toward the door with the well- known swaying walk of the vampire.
Now Zelda could not have done more than the inviting and so many could invite. He rose and stood near her. "Katie, you don't mean to marry Prescott, do you?" She clapped her hands above her head and laughed like a child immensely tickled about something. He laughed, too, and then asked to be informed what he was laughing at. "Oh, you're just laughing because I am," laughed Katie.
