"No; it was all too dark and confused. But I did think you were a native woman." "That is good," said Minnie. "Dula brought me down to the creek where the boat was lying, and Pahan meant to pretend after dark, if we met any of the Malays, that he was taking in fruit for the Rajah's men. But we were seen too soon. One of the Rajah's boats came in sight, and the chief with it called to us to stop.
And when you are placed again, come around and see me. Where are you living?" Eugene gave him his address. "That's right, you're married," he added, when Eugene spoke of himself and Angela having a small place. "How is Mrs. Witla? I remember her as a very charming woman. Mrs. Dula and I have an apartment in Gramercy Place. You didn't know I had tied up, did you? Well, I have.
She thought Eugene certainly knew strange people. He introduced to her William McConnell, Hudson Dula, who had not yet been to see them, Jan Jansen, Louis Deesa, Leonard Baker and Paynter Stone. In regard to Eugene's picture the papers, with one exception, had nothing to say, but this one in both Eugene's and Angela's minds made up for all the others.
In The Forced Marriage she seems to have remembered The Maid's Tragedy. The situation between Alcippus and Erminia, Act ii, III, has some vague resemblance to that of Amintor and Evadne, Act ii, I. Aminta also faintly recalls Dula, whilst the song 'Hang love, for I will never pine' has a far-off echo of 'I could never have the power. But Mrs.
I'll call him up on another matter and take him out to lunch, and then I'll see how he stands and who he has in mind, if he has anyone. He may have, you know. If there is a real opening I'll speak of you. We'll see." Eugene went away once more, very grateful. He was thinking that Dula had always meant good luck to him. He had taken his first important drawing.
Then Dula said I must lie under the attap mats, as they were going to pretend that they did not hear the call. They began poling the boat along as hard as ever they could, hoping, as the stream was with us, that we could escape; but " The poor girl broke down with a sob. "Don't talk about it, Minnie dear sister," said Archie quickly. "Sit quiet and try to believe that you are safe.
"Dula told me she can say a few words in English, and I know a few Malay sentences as well, so that we managed to understand one another she said her husband thought he could get the boat down to the foot of our garden in the darkness, and then we could all carry baskets of fruit, and so pass through the Malays to a spot where we could make a dash for the Residency, where we should be safe, if some of the soldiers didn't shoot us down."
At last, when it seemed all over, and I was feeling that I must bid good-bye to life and jump into the river before I saw these dear people speared to death, my poor heart gave one great throb in answer to the sound of your rifle, while Dula uttered a cry of joy, knowing the shots at the Malays could only come from friends, and helped her husband to force the sampan right in amongst the trees where we saw the smoke rising; and then Oh Archie! oh Archie!"
"Yes, sahib," said the girl. "It is Dula, with her husband." "Child bad again!" muttered the Doctor. "Where are they? In my room?" "Yes, sahib." "Don't go away, Archie. Stop and talk to the wife till I come back." The Doctor passed out of the room, and Mrs Morley turned to Archie, to say imploringly: "Have you brought any news?" He shook his head.
There were some slight recoveries of friendship and of the old life Hudson Dula, Jerry Mathews, who had moved to Newark; William McConnell, Philip Shotmeyer. MacHugh and Smite were away, one painting in Nova Scotia, the other working in Chicago. As for the old art crowd, socialists and radicals included, Eugene attempted to avoid them as much as possible.
