"I think you uncommon," he replied. Beth reflected for a little. "What is your full name?" she asked finally. "Alfred Cayley Pounce," he replied. "My father gave me the name of Alfred that I might always remember I was A Cayley Pounce. But my ambition is to be The Cayley Pounce," he added with a nervous little laugh. Beth compressed her lips, and looked at the rising tide.
Antony, who had just looked round again, turned back with a smile. "What's the joke?" said Bill, glad of the more social atmosphere. "Cayley. Didn't you see?" "See what?" "The car. Going past on the road there." "So that's what you were looking for. You've got jolly good eyes, my boy, if you recognize the car at this distance after only seeing it twice." "Well, I have got jolly good eyes."
It was full of the element of chance, and he had been taking chances all his life. With the chances of fortune he had won; with the chances of love and happiness he had lost. He knew that the horseman on the mountain-side was Cayley; he knew that Cayley would not be near his home without a purpose. Besides, Cayley had said he would come he had said it in half banter, half threat.
Brangwyn, a lady in pink by Mr. Lavery, and a fisherman by Mr. Cayley Robinson. A number of Whistler's Venetian etchings may also be seen here, and much characteristic work by Mr. Pennell. Here too are the "Burghers of Calais" and the "Thinker" of Rodin, while a nude by Fantin Latour should be sought for.
Not that he himself dealt in the higher or the lower mathematics, but he saw the hidden spiritual meaning of things as Professor Cayley or Professor Sylvester see the meaning of their mysterious formulae. Without using the Rosetta-stone of Swedenborg, Emerson finds in every phenomenon of nature a hieroglyphic. Others measure and describe the monuments, he reads the sacred inscriptions.
"It is well to be open with me," Houghton replied. He drew Cayley aside to an opening in the trees, where the mountain and the White Bluff road could be seen, and pointed. "That would make a wonderful leap," he said, "from the top of the hill down to the cliff edge and over!" "A dreadful steeplechase," said Cayley. Houghton lowered his voice. "Two people have agreed to take that fence."
And if they were shut, hopelessly shut, then he must have a moment to himself, a moment in which to think of some other plan, and avoid the ruin which seemed so suddenly to be threatening. So he had run. But Antony had kept up with him. They had broken in the window together, and gone into the office. But Cayley was not done yet. There was the dressing-room window! But quietly, quietly.
Say that Cayley has gone into the room first, and seen Robert on the ground." "Well?" "Well, there you are." "And what does he say to Mark? That it's a fine afternoon; and could he lend him a pocket-handkerchief? Or does he ask him what's happened?" "Well, of course, I suppose he asks what happened," said Bill reluctantly. "And what does Mark say?"
"But that's just what he did do," cried Bill triumphantly. "What fools we are!" Antony looked at him in surprise, and then shook his head. "Yes, yes!" insisted Bill. "Of course! Don't you see? Mark did change after lunch, and, to give him more of a chance of getting away, Cayley lied and said that he was wearing the brown suit in which the servants had seen him.
"But it's it's it's most imp p p " Don Ferdinando set down his spoon. He also let the highly grave letter from London which he was reading slip into his soup. "I tell you what, Cayley," he said, "if you don't crush this young brother of yours, I will. This is a matter of life or death, and I must have a clear head to think it out." "I was only saying," cried Jim desperately.
