Then they turned him out on the snow, and told him to go home, and Peachey came home in about a year, begging along the roads quite safe; for Daniel Dravot he walked before and said: Come along, Peachey. Its a big thing were doing. The mountains they danced at night, and the mountains they tried to fall on Peacheys head, but Dan he held up his hand, and Peachey came along bent double.
When Peachey remonstrated with her, she stared in insolent surprise, and wished that he had had to suffer all her hardships of the past year. Peachey could not be said to have any leisure. On returning from business he was involved forthwith in domestic troubles and broils, which consumed the dreary evening, and invaded even his sleep.
But will the memsahib of to-morrow take warning by the fate of Helen Peachey, who went out to India in all her bridal bravery, in all her youth and freshness? Will she escape exchanging the placidity of Fra Angelico's piping cherubim for the petulance and ring-shadowed eyes of the seasoned matron?
The front door-bell jangled suddenly, and a little later he heard a springy step passing along the hall. Then the green lattice door of the porch opened, and the face of Mrs. Peachey, wearing the look of unnatural pleasantness which becomes fixed on the features of persons who spend their lives making the best of things, appeared in the spot where Susan had been half an hour before.
Peachey did not often lose self-control, though sorely tried; the one occasion that unchained his wrath was when Ada's heedlessness or ill-temper affected the well-being of his child.
"Peachey, little Peachey, what's them waves a-sayin' to the rocks? It's: `ME! YOU! ME! YOU! Ain't they always been a-sayin' it? Kin you stop 'em, little Peachey? And that's the words I'm a-standin' here now fer to say to you." "I ain't a-goin' to listen," she cried sharply, drawing back. "I don't want none o' your words. You just leave me alone, now, Mister Mister "
The policeman, professionally calm, averted a smiling face. 'It's nothing to me, said Mrs. Peachey. 'I'm quite willing to walk. Come along, constable. Her husband interposed. 'The girl doesn't go from my house until she's properly dressed. He turned to the other servants. 'Please to blow the whistle at the door, or get a cab somehow. Emma, go upstairs and put your things on.
"Half an hour's talk with you, cool and comfortable, in the office," said the red-bearded man. "We'd like some drink, the Contrack doesn't begin yet, Peachey, so you needn't look, but what we really want is advice. We don't want money. We ask you as a favour, because we found out you did us a bad turn about Degumber State."
You are aware that Mr Peachey is a member of the firm of Ducker, Blunt & Co., who manufacture disinfectants. Now, if any manufacture should be carried on in a conscientious spirit as of course all manufactures should surely it is that of disinfectants. Only think what depends upon it! People who make disinfectants ought to regard themselves as invested with a sacred trust.
"Up to Jagdallak, Peachey and me know the road. We was there with Robert's Army. We'll have to turn off to the right at Jagdallak through Laghmann territory. Then we get among the hills fourteen thousand feet fifteen thousand it will be cold work there, but it don't look very far on the map." I handed him Wood on the "Sources of the Oxus." Carnehan was deep in the "Encyclopaedia."
