In our work-a-day, materialistic age, like a thrush singing in a boiler-shop, he is the quiet but triumphant vindication of the truth that all great art has its roots firmly implanted in the earth of Hellenic civilization, though its expression may be, as in Corot's case, through an art unknown to the Greeks, and even, as in the case of the one greater man of this century than Corot Millet by the presentation of types which the beauty-loving sons of Hellas disdained to represent.
"Ah, nom de Dieu!" cried Leclair, in sudden rage at seeing his chance all gone to pot, of coming to grips with the hated Beni Harb. From the penetralia of the air-liner, confused shouts burst forth. The upper galleries grew vocal with execrations. Not one was of fear; all voiced disappointment, the passion of baffled fury. Angrily a boiler-shop clatter of machine-guns vomited useless frenzy.
Now is there any chap in our boiler-shop over six feet?" "No." "I knew you'd say that. Think again. What about the foreman?" and he gave a side inclination of his head towards the unconscious Railsford. "Oh, him! Yes, he's over six foot." "Go down two places, for saying him instead of he. There you are, my lord, we've got it at last. Bowled the chap out clean, first ball.
Stafford, whose role as prisoner may or may not have been the result of mere accident, began not to like the turn things were taking. "On the 4th everything went well till the evening, although, it is stated, a formal complaint of Smith's interference was made through the regular, foreman of the boiler-shop, as will appear in evidence.
Then, "They're off!" he cried, looking through the window. The Reverend Samuel Price began to drone the marriage-service. It is the little things in life that count, after all. Men will work themselves into hysteria over the buzzing of a fly, and yet plan a battle-ship in a boiler-shop.
In the evening of that day that is, about eight o'clock a meeting of the heads of the various departments was held in a distant part of the works, which was attended by Smith as well as the other foremen. The meeting lasted till 9.30, and Smith was last seen proceeding to his own quarters, in the neighbourhood of the boiler-shop.
Jeff looked at his brother seriously. "Lanse," he said, "if you go into one of the locomotive shops won't you get a place for me?" But Celia interposed. "Whatever the rest of us do," she said, "Jeff and Just must keep on with school." Jeff rebelled with a grimace. "Not much!" he shouted. "I guess one six-footer is as good as another in a boiler-shop.
There's whistles blowing, bells ringing, and can't we find some quiet road-house where I can get an hour's rest? Put me in a boiler-shop or a round-house, where I can go to sleep." "The hotels are all alike," Boyd answered. "You will soon get used to it." "Who, me? Never! I want to get back to God's country." "Hurrah for you!" ejaculated Clyde. "Same here. And I'm going with you."
If any such case comes to you, will it be too much trouble for you to let me know?" "I shall be only too happy," he said. "I understand you have had a fire up there, too. A fire and shooting in one night is rather lively for a quiet place like that." "It is as quiet as a boiler-shop," I replied, as I turned to go. "And you are still going to stay?" "Until I am burned out," I responded.
His evidence related to the feud between the murdered, man and the men in the boiler-shop; and he gave an account of the intrusion of Smith on the night of the 3rd and of the quarrel which ensued. Blyth, in fact, related what had happened in the common room at Railsford's that evening, only changing names and places in accordance with Barnworth's story.
