If you will kindly ask them to turn off the snow and give me a little moonlight, I will confess all." His conversation was, it is true, generally about himself, but it was none the less attractive on that account. His love affairs, which appeared to be numerous, formed his chief topic. There was no reserve about Jarman: his life contained no secret chambers.
Jarman had risen to his feet, his face turned to sea. "What are you looking at?" she said wonderingly. "A ship," said Jarman, in a strange, hoarse voice. "I must hurry back and signal. I'm afraid I haven't even time to walk with you, I must run for it. Good-by!" He turned without offering his hand and ran hurriedly in the direction of the semaphore.
Tell him to get to work making this place secure against air-attack, to consult with Colonel Jarman, and to get those geeks Leavitt has penned in the repair-dock at the airport and use them to dig slit-trenches and fill sandbags and so on. He can use Kragan limited-duty wounded to guard them.... Mr. Keaveney, you'll begin setting up something in the way of an ARP-organization.
I had never noticed before that they were quite perpendicular. Adapting myself to the changed conditions, I climbed them with the help of my hands. I accomplished the last flight somewhat quickly, and feeling tired, sat down the moment I was within my own room. Jarman knocked at the door. I told him to come in; but he didn't.
Cara felt relieved; at the same time she felt a strange joy at her heart, which sent the conscious blood to her cheek. She was not thinking of the escaped Marco, but of Jarman. Later, when the police boat arrived, whether the detectives had been forewarned of Marco's escape or not, they contented themselves with a formal search of the little fishing-hut and departed.
To his surprise, her embarrassment suddenly seemed to increase, although she had looked relieved before, and she did not reply. After a moment she said abruptly: "Did you ever see the sea-lions?" "No," said Jarman. "Not the big ones on Seal Rock, beyond the cliffs?" continued the girl, in real astonishment. "No," repeated Jarman. "I never walked in that direction."
A sudden and inexplicable shyness overtook him. He hesitated, and stepped half-hidden in a gully between the sand dunes. As yet he had not been observed; the young girl called to the child and, suddenly rising, threw off her red cap and shawl and quietly began to disrobe herself. A couple of coarse towels were at her feet. Jarman instantly comprehended that she was going to bathe with the child.
The rice having been forgotten, the waiter was almost thrown downstairs, with directions to at once procure some. There appearing danger of his not returning in time, the resourceful Jarman suggested cold semolina pudding as a substitute. But the idea was discouraged by the bride.
That's being British, that is. You'd never see a Frenchy or a Jarman or a 'Talian up to games like that in the sun." "That there boy" was Carey Cranford, and he had taken the attention of the captain as well, who was standing under the awning in company with the doctor, and the two chuckled. "There, doctor," he said; "did you ever see so much of the monkey in a boy before?
Need I say that it was the same umbrella that Balencourt's man, Jarman, had manipulated for me that fateful evening when we dined at the Argyle. I shall never unroll that umbrella, even at the cost of a wetting. To me it is a memento." "There's melodrama for you," said Indiman, a little shamefacedly as he finished.
