For an instant Mallory looked at him in wonder, then he sprang forward and jammed the lever close to the boiler. "Reverse!" he ordered. For reply Jawn turned on Mallory and crowded him back. Weak-nerved from the long strain, suffering for lack of sleep, the two men broke down for the moment, and struggled about the cab.
Mallory, wasn't that the sentimental young man, with wispy hair, a tallowy skin, and big, sweaty hands, who used to be spouting Carlyle on the 'reading evenings' at Shelldrake's?
Soon the car jarred and struggled under the air brake, and then slowed down, grinding and pounding, almost to a stop. The brakes were released, and the train rolled easily out beyond the station on to the long siding. Harvey pulled the signal cord. "Now, Mallory," he said, as the train came to a standstill, "we can go ahead."
When William Wade was named, Elizabeth Mallory would fly into fits. When Jane Brooks entered the room, a bewitched youth of Chard would become hysterical. It was the opposite way with a victim in Exeter, who remained well only so long as the witch who caused the trouble stayed with him.
Miss Mallory seemed to find great fun in these revolutionary affairs, and a deep interest in Andrew Bedient, and his vast holdings on the Island. Her eyes quickly recalled to Bedient's mind a line of Tennyson's "Sunset and evening star, and after that the dark."
Mallory at Portofino; a pleasant courteous man, evidently by nature a man of the world, interested in affairs and in literature, with all the signs on him of the English governing class. It was certainly curious that he should have spent all those years in exile with his child, in a remote villa on the Italian coast. Health, Marsham supposed, or finance the two chief motives of life.
For a moment intense hatred and anger flashed in his eyes, but he made no move to avenge the insult. Slowly the light in his eyes died again to fear, as he realized his inability to cope with this man of strength. "Here, Eagen, you can't come into my house and act like that," said Mallory stoutly, putting the lamp on the table.
Do you know, it's so unlucky and so strange! but he has certainly taken a dislike to Miss Mallory I believe it was because he had hoped some Christian Socialist friends of his would have taken Beechcote, and he was disappointed to find it let to some one with what he calls 'silly Tory notions' and no particular ideas about Church matters. I don't understand " The Vicar advanced toward them.
His eyes glowed with a reckless light, as he raced on toward the blue hills. Doane had known him had called him by name. Therefore Doane knew he was The Coyote the outlaw with a price on his head. So much the better. He wanted them to know! The sun was at its zenith, as he passed above the Mallory place. He did not once turn his head and look down upon it.
John Bar, who was in there, a refugee from the Christmas Eve frolic in our own cabin, rubbed my limbs, and poured cup after cup of strong coffee down my throat, and, when I was sufficiently recovered, gave me a good supper. The same was done for Mallory. But even in the cabin, with two immense fires and warm clothing, it was difficult to keep warm.
