On the following morning, Cupid having called me at daylight, I snatched a hasty breakfast of cocoa and biscuit, and then wended my way to the wharf, where the Krooboy, in light marching order, with three days' rations which he proposed to supplement on the way, if necessary tied up in a gaudy bandana handkerchief, awaited me in the dinghy.
"How! dear master, you are there?" said she, with a slight foreign accent, which gave additional charm to her melodious voice. "Oh! how handsome you are!" murmured the notary. "You think so?" answered the Creole: "this bandana suits my hair?" "Every day I find you still more handsome." "And see how white my arm is." "Monster! go away! go away!" cried Jacques Ferrand, furiously.
The path wound around rough hills, here and there scattered with fig-trees and vines, with lupines, euphorbias, and other wild growths. It is a volcanic blowing-hole of oval shape, about fifty feet in long diameter, and the elliptical mouth discharged to the north the lava-bed before seen. Apparently it is connected with the Bandana Peak, further west.
"He's a gwineter fix hit up so dat dere won't be so much worriment 'mong de w'ite fokes 'bout de kinder wedder w'at falls to dere lot." "He gwine dish em up," suggested one of the older ones, "like man dish out sugar. "No," answered Uncle Remus, mopping his benign features with a very large and very red bandana. "He's a gwineter fix um better'n dat.
"No," he said, "it ain't possible. Besides, what Kate says may be true. She ought to know she says he'll wait for Mac Strann. I didn't think of that; I thought I was savin' Dan from another well, what a damn fool I been!" He unknotted his bandana and with it mopped his face to a semblance of cleanliness. "It was the ridin' that done it," he explained, shame-faced.
Then he mopped his forehead with an uncleanly bandana handkerchief, and made his way to a public-house lower down the street. Jimmy followed him thither with no definite object, save perhaps a kind of morbid curiosity. The publican greeted the furniture dealer with a friendly nod. "Clearing another out, Mr. Ludwig?" The other grunted assent. "One of the soft sort. She ran away.
"Christ has risen!" said Matriena Pavlovna, leaning her head forward and smiling. By the intonation of her voice she seemed to say, "All are equal to-day," and wiping her mouth with a bandana handkerchief which she kept under her arm-pit, she extended her lips. "He has risen, indeed," answered Nekhludoff, and they kissed each other. He turned to look at Katiousha.
Squire Cady put on a flowered dressing-gown, drew a pair of spectacles out of a pocket, a bandana handkerchief from another, and requested Chamberlain to sit down and make himself at home. The two men sat facing each other near a tall secretary whose pigeonholes were stuffed with papers in all stages of the yellowing process.
The roar dropped off abruptly into diminuendo, punctuated by the rattle of a loose truck at the rear of the caboose. From the cupola a brakeman with a dirty blue bandana knotted about his brown throat, waved to them and shouted something which they could not hear.
He looked in vain into the stalls for the butcher who had sold fresh meat twice a week, on market days, and he felt a genuine thrill of pleasure when he recognized the red bandana turban of old Aunt Lyddy, the ancient negro woman who had sold him gingerbread and fried fish, and told him weird tales of witchcraft and conjuration, in the old days when, as an idle boy, he had loafed about the market-house.
