He lost his balance ten feet from Leyden's chair, recovered himself with a damp hiccough and maudlin apology, then darted forward and sprawled among the hilarious group with hands outstretched for the table to support himself. Mumbling incoherently, he slowly raised himself and glared owlishly around, caught sight of the picture in Leyden's hand, and grabbed for it.
Reason departed from him; he was screaming incoherently as he stumbled up a stony ramp, crashed into a wall, spun around and smashed blindly into another. Then something caught at his shirt. He felt the heavy planks and pounded iron scrollwork of a huge door, and threw himself upon it, wrenching at the old latch until the door swung open with a screech of rusty hinges.
Only Lansing was to go to the train. The others, as they crowded round the carriage door, were incoherently mingling parting messages. Then presently they were left behind, a suddenly quiet, sober group. Inside the carriage Mrs. Birch, with her hand in her eldest son's, was saying to him things he never forgot, while his father looked steadily out of the window.
What good has the wisdom in my books done me, when I confess my dependence upon a man, and that man my enemy and the acquaintance of a few weeks?" She was speaking incoherently, and Estenega chafed at the restraint of the servants so close behind them. "Tell me," she exclaimed, "what is it in you that I want? that I need? It is something that belongs to me. Give it to me, and go away."
"See here!" broke in Mac Clarke, peremptorily, "is this young lady your daughter?" Mr. Demry put his hand to his dazed head and looked from one to the other in troubled uncertainty. "No," he said incoherently. "I had a daughter once. But she is much older than this child. She must be nearly forty by now, and to think I haven't seen her face for twenty-two years.
I don't call no squaw no lady. You drink queeck, now!" "Aw, shut up, Frenchy," the man at his elbow abjured him. "He don't have to drink if he don't want to." "You keep the face close," the other retorted majestically; and cursed loud and long and incoherently.
The boy, perhaps two years older than Aladdin, was big and strong for his age, and bore his shining head like a young wood-god. Margaret ran to him, telling her story as she went, but so incoherently that when she reached him she had to stop and begin over again. "Then Senator St. John is your father?" said the boy at length. "You know, he's a great friend of my father's.
She gasped and staggered up out of her seat muttering and mumbling incoherently, and gazed vacantly upon the people and the scene about her like one who is dazed, or thinks he dreams, and does not know where he is.
As for Louie, during the description of the Queen's dress she had drunk in every word with a greedy attention, her changing eyes fixed on the speaker's face. When he stopped, however, she drew a long breath. 'It's aw lees! she said scornfully. 'Howd your tongue, Louie! cried David, angrily. But 'Lias took no notice. He was talking again very fast, but incoherently.
"Father!" said the stranger in a moving voice. Incoherently Andrew burst out. "You you you're not my son!" His disclaimer seemed so evidently sincere that the sense of the company was already in sympathy with the victim of this outrageous intrusion, when alas for him! his aunt chose that fatal moment, of all others, to rush out of her chronic background.
