"Are you fond of music?" "I am mad about it! I'm always running round to concerts; and I'd walk from Battery to Bronx to hear a good violinist." Fiddles and Irish hearts. Swiftly came the vision of Hawksley fiddling the heart out of this lonely girl if he had the chance. And he, Cutty, was going to fascinate her with what?
She wasn't born or thought of, so far as we was concerned, when we were all three mates up the bush." "Ah, all three!" "Steel, Minchin, and me," nodded Abel, as his cutty glowed. "And you were mates!" "Well, we were and we weren't: that's just it," said Abel, resentfully. "It would be better for some coves now, if we'd all been on the same footin' then. But that we never were.
She had promised to marry Cutty, promised herself that she would be his true wife and here she was, holding another man's head to her heart as if it were the most precious head in all the world. She could not put that head upon the floor at once; that would be a confession of her embarrassment; and yet she could not continue to hold Hawksley while Cutty eyed her with semi-humorous concern.
I was never able to tell your mother after your father died. Their bodies were separated, but not their spirits." Kitty nodded. So that was it? Poor Cutty! "I make this confession because I want you to understand my attitude toward you. I am going to elect myself as your special guardian so long as I'm in New York.
Well, honestly, it feels as it looks, Kitty, this chap was going to give himself up in exchange for you. Not a word of protest, not a question. All he said was: 'I am ready. That's why I'm always going to be on his side." "He did that for me?" "For you. Did it never occur to you that you're the sort folks always want to do things for if you'll let them?" "God bless you, Cutty!"
Hawksley listened intently, wondering a bit. What was the dear old beggar's idea, throwing such fireworks round at breakfast? He stole a glance at Kitty to see how she was taking it and caught her stealing a glance at him. Instantly both switched back to Cutty. Shortly the little comedy was repeated because neither could resist the invisible force of some half-conscious inquiry.
He relayed this information to the actual chief of the local service, from whom he had borrowed his men. There was no protest. Green spectacles. Quarter to nine he and Kitty entered a subway car and found a corner to themselves, while Karlov's agent was content with a strap in the crowded end of the car. Karlov for once had outthought Cutty.
"Every so often," began Cutty, "I have to find listeners. Fact. I used to hate crowds, listeners; but those ten days in an open boat, a thousand miles from anywhere, made me gregarious. I'm always wanting company and hating to go to bed, which is bad business for a man of fifty-two." Cutty's ship had been torpedoed.
Cutty then came upon the will. Somehow the pathos of it went deep into his heart. The poor devil! a will that hadn't been witnessed, the handwriting the same as that on the passport. If he had fallen into the hands of the police they would have justifiably locked him up as a murder suspect. Two-Hawks! It was a small world. He returned the contents to the wallet, leaving out the will, however.
They are like poetry; they are as sweet as singing." "Did you tell Andrew this?" "Why would I do that?" "You are a false little cutty, then. I would tell Andrew myself, but I am loath to hurt his true heart. Now you are to let Archie Braelands alone, or I will know the reason why." "Preserve us all! What a blazing passion for nothing at all!
