"No? Then I will." He poured out a cup full of raw whiskey and drank it off. "My partner is late," he said. "He will be here in a few moments. Meantime, we can look over the papers." "It is too dark here," said French. "We can't see to read. You have in your cabin a light, let us go there." "Oh," cried Rosenblatt hastily, "it is more comfortable here. I have a lantern."
The traitor, the thief, the liar, the murderer, the criminal, sits there." As he spoke the word, he swung sharply about and stood with outstretched arm and finger pointing to Rosenblatt. "I stand here the officer of vengeance. I have failed. Vengeance will not fail. The day is coming when it will strike."
"Then you are responsible for the conditions under which Paulina Koval has been forced to live during these three years?" Rosenblatt was silent. "That will do," said O'Hara with contempt unspeakable.
He pricked Rosenblatt in the cheek, and as Rosenblatt squirmed, laughed a laugh of singular sweetness. "With this beautiful instrument I mean to pick out your eyes, and then I shall drive it down through your heart, and you will be dead. It will not hurt so very much," he continued in a tone of regret.
Gone back on your grub, eh?" It was his clerk, Samuel Sprink, whose sharp little eyes had not failed to note the gloomy glances of his employer. "Pretty gay girl, our Irma has come to be," continued the cheerful Samuel, who prided himself on his fine selection of colloquial English. "She's a beaut now, ain't she? A regular bird!" Rosenblatt started.
If you want candles, let me get them. I know where they are. But we need no candles here. Yes," he cried with a laugh, "young eyes are better than old eyes. The young man reads well. Read, read." "There is another paper," said French after Kalman had finished. "There is a further agreement." "Yes, truly," said Rosenblatt. "Is it not there? It must be there. No, I must have left it at my cabin.
"Oh!" she cried, clasping her hands upon her breast and swaying backwards and forwards upon her knees, "I will be a good woman. I will sin no more. Rosenblatt I shall send " "Rosenblatt!" cried the man with a fierce laugh. "After two days Rosenblatt will not be here." "You will ?" gasped the woman. "He will die," said the man quietly. "Oh, my lord! Let me kill him!
Achieving a discreet retirement from the hostelry he stood irresolute in the street. This morning there was no genial sun to warm him. A high fog overcast the sky, and the air was chill. At intervals he shivered violently. For no reason, except that he had there last beheld actual food, he went back to the pool. Evidently Mr. Rosenblatt had finally been appeased.
And I have heard that he is as fond of beer as any of them. He was terribly battered, but he is all right again, and has been living with his sister and his step-mother in the house of a friend of his father's. But I have promised to get him out of the city, and if I do not, I know Rosenblatt will be after him. Besides this, I am afraid something will happen if he remains.
Pale, wasted, and still weak, Rosenblatt told his story to the court in a manner that held the crowd breathless with horror. Never had such a tale been told to Canadian ears. The only man unmoved was the prisoner. Throughout the narrative he maintained an attitude of bored indifference.
