His face was now tinged with unusual color, and his heart, too, was thumping strangely. "Oxygen!" shouted Waldron, shaking him by the shoulder. "It it's leaking in, here, somewhere! If we can't stop it we're dead men!" "Eh? What?" stammered the Billionaire, staring at him with eyes of half-intoxicated fear. "What d'you mean, the oxygen? In in here?"
He wanted to hit Joe on the nose, but the boy dodged with ease, and Sam Cullum fell sprawling over the rowboat. "Hi! what did ye trip me up for?" spluttered the half-intoxicated man, as he rose slowly. "Don't you do that ag'in, do yer hear?" "Then don't try to strike me again." There was a moment of silence and then Sam Cullum gathered himself for another blow.
"You know I made her an orphan," he often concluded solemnly, when talking about his own affairs to a scratch audience of shore loafers as it was his habit to do. And the approbative shouts of his half-intoxicated auditors filled his simple soul with delight and pride.
How long might she have lain there unconscious, or how dealt with the half-intoxicated Lupo if he had mounted the steps in search of his wife? Then, as the hours slipped on and no human soul came near to minister to her and comfort her, and she had finally realized that her young people had never returned, how would she have endured that second shock?
But these words, in Philoinus' half-intoxicated mood, only increased his irritation; he burst into a mocking laugh, and staggering towards the door, shouted: "Immoderate Sybarite, you call me? good! here you have your answer: Shameless slave! one can still perceive the traces of what you were in your youth. Farewell then, slave of Iadmon and Xanthus, freedwoman of Charaxus!"
He had seated himself near the door, but he was close enough for her to detect the fumes of the liquor he had drank, and she knew a savage was never so dangerous as when in a half-intoxicated condition. "Have you come a long distance?" she asked. "Good ways live up north." "You are not a Sioux, then?" "No don't like Sioux bad people." "Why do you come in their neighborhood in their country?"
Olof strode briskly out toward a certain quarter of the town, a complex of narrow streets and little houses with stuffy rooms, where glasses are filled and emptied freely, and men sit with half-intoxicated women on their knees, sacrificing to insatiable idols. It was a summer evening, bright and clear. The noise of day had ceased, and few were abroad.
