Hammon soothed his charmer in his clumsy, elephantine way, showing that, despite Merkle's recent insinuations, he still trusted her. "This is the only woman who ever cared for me, John," he explained, after some hesitation, "and we're going to stick together. We have no secrets." "Your little Fifth Avenue establishment rather complicates matters, doesn't it? What are you going to do about that?"
You killed my mother, too, Jarvis Hammon, and made me a a You made me hustle my living in the streets, and go through hell to get it." "Be quiet!" he commanded, roughly. "The thing's incredible absurd. You the daughter of one of my workmen and a JEW!" "Yes. Levinski Lily Levinski. And you wanted to marry me," she gibed. "But I fooled you." "I guess I must be out of my head.
Once Bob had gained admittance little time was wasted. He and Merkle helped Hammon to his feet, then each took an arm; but the exertion told, and Jarvis hung between them like a drunken man, a gray look of death upon his face. "Watch out for the door-man," Jimmy Knight cautioned for the twentieth time. "Make him think you've got a souse." "Aren't you coming along?" asked Bob. But Jim recoiled.
This morning I sent two to search for the ship's rudder, which was buried among the ice, and a fortunate fellow, one David Hammon, pecking between the broken blocks, struck upon it, who crying out that he had found it, the rest came and got it up on the ice, and so into the ship. O, this was a joyful day to us all; and we gave God thanks for the hopes we had of it. May 31.
Your wife will read them and your daughters " Jarvis Hammon roused himself at last. Surprise, incredulity, dismay gave place to fury, and, as in all primitive natures, his wrath took shape as an impulse to destroy. "You'll do that eh?" His tone, his bearing were threatening. He advanced as if to seize her in his great hands, and only her quickness saved her. "Don't touch me!"
If she'd only told us she was going out with Merkle we might have framed something worth while I don't mind telling you this is a pretty weak case." "He won't stand publicity; they never do," averred Mrs. Knight. "Oh, he's not like Hammon; he hasn't GOT a family-and Lorelei won't back us up, either. We've got to bluff it through." "Wouldn't he marry her?" "Not a chance.
Jim and Lilas were talking loudly when a key grated in the lock, the door of the little apartment opened and clicked shut again. Another instant and Jarvis Hammon paused on the threshold, glowering. Lilas's wine-glass shattered upon the floor. "Jarvis! You frightened me," she cried. "Evening, Mr. Hammon." Bob lurched to his feet, upsetting his chair. "This IS a s'prise."
But of all the so-called "grafts" open to handsome girls in her business the quickest and best returns came from prodigal entertainers like Jarvis Hammon. As Lorelei and her companion left their taxi-cabs and entered Proctor's Hotel, shortly before midnight, they were met by a head waiter and shown into an ornate ivory-and-gold elevator which lifted them noiselessly to an upper floor.
She had met some who were more distinguished in appearance than this man, but never one who seemed possessed of more nervous energy and virility. Jarvis Hammon had a bold, incisive manner that was compelling and stamped him as a big man in more ways than one. Playfully he pinched Lilas's cheek, then turned with a smile to say: "You'll pardon us for whispering, won't you, Miss Knight?
He was glad that Hammon had thought of those three women who bore his name, even if they bore him no love, and he took courage from his friend's plucky self-control. Perhaps the wound was not serious, after all.
