Kurt stepped aside and took a quick shot at the tire of Nash's left hind wheel. He missed. His heart sank and he was like ice as he risked another. The little high-power bullet struck and blew the tire off the wheel. Nash's car lurched, skidded into the bank not thirty yards away. With a bound Kurt started for it, and he was there when Nash had twisted out of his seat and over the door.
She didn't see his face in that movement, but an observer to whom it had been presented might have fancied it denoted a foreboding that was not exactly a dread, yet was not exclusively a joy. The first thing he made out in the room, when he could distinguish, was Gabriel Nash's portrait, which suddenly filled him with an unreasoning rancour.
Mrs Nash's establishment appeared to be one to which fond parents in the country, whose darlings were about to launch out on the sea of life in London, were invited to confide their sons, under the promise of a comfortable, respectable, and economical home. As to the comfortable, we who were best able to judge did not admit the description a true one.
If you yourself have outlived other lives, and yet borne the foreknowledge of Death unmoved, you will not understand why Gwen's heart within her, when she heard Dr. Nash's words and took their meaning, should be likened to a great stifled sob, nor why she had to summon all her powers afield to bear arms against her tears.
"All right," said he, adding, when the clock had had time to tick once, "Miss White." And the reason he affixed her name to his promise was the same that had compelled Dr. Nash's bow a sense of her importance growing upon him; but the hotel-keeper observed, what the old doctor did not, that the gown was silk.
There are no antiquities except the abbey, which has not the interest of many other English churches and cathedrals. In the midst of the old part of the town stands the house which was formerly Beau Nash's residence, but which is now part of the establishment of an ale-merchant.
The grin broadened on Nash's freckled face as he turned to Stephen and said: And do you like Cardinal Newman, Dedalus? O, many say that Newman has the best prose style, Heron said to the other two in explanation, of course he's not a poet. And who is the best poet, Heron? asked Boland. Lord Tennyson, of course, answered Heron. O, yes, Lord Tennyson, said Nash.
She felt an immense relief at being rid of him, and resented his being brought back even as a subject of conversation. Wayland, listening, fancied he understood her desire, and said nothing that might arouse Nash's curiosity. Nash, on his part, knowing that she had broken with Belden, began to understand the tenderness, the anxious care of her face and voice, as she bent above young Norcross.
I forbore to ask him any questions on the mysterious subject of his home, and he of course never referred to it. Our walk ended again at Beadle Square, where we parted for the night; he to return to some poor lodging in a distant part of the town, I to take part in the nine o'clock supper at Mrs Nash's.
"Young Torrens of Pensham, he can't complain," said a sharp, youngish woman who had come into the room just soon enough to catch the thread of the conversation. She was the housekeeper at Dr. Nash's, who supplied what he prescribed, and was always very obliging about sending. She came with a bottle. "Why can't he complain, Mrs. Lamprey?"
