Accordingly, the long boat was ordered with this midshipman and eight sailors, prepared with water and provisions for several days absence. Biddle then asked me if I knew any of his own officers, and which one of them I would prefer to accompany me. I knew most of them, and we settled down on Louis McLane.
Sometimes a cry of recognition from one on the pavement to a comrade in the park, shouted through the iron railings, sent a shiver through McLane. Art students had an uncomfortable habit of roaming everywhere, and they were boisterous in hailing an acquaintance. Besides, they talked, and McLane dreaded having his little intrigue the joke of the school.
Does she show what she has been through.... Oh, Antoinette Mrs. McLane Mamma how tiresome you are!" Mrs. Abbott had not joined in this chorus. She had emitted a series of grunts no less primitive word expressing her vocal emissions when disgusted.
McLane she announced angrily that all the gossip in San Francisco originated in the Union Club, and refused to listen to details. But she was anxious, nevertheless, for she knew that Madeleine, whether she recognized the fact or not, was in love with Langdon Masters, and she more than suspected that he was with her.
The fact that McLane and I had been closeted with the commodore for an hour, that orders for the boat and stores had been made, that the chaplain and clerk had been sent out of the cabin, etc., etc., all excited their curiosity; but McLane and I kept our secret well.
McLane, "that the Negro woman should be considered a woman in the fullest sense of the term, and those men and boys who in their zeal to protect white women humiliated and disgraced black ones, insulted and humbled their own mothers, sisters and sweethearts; for what disgraces one woman disgraces another, be she white, black, red or brown.
Especially brilliant are the works of Cecilia Beaux and M. Jean McLane, the first winning the Exposition's medal of honor, the latter rather theatrical in their gayety of color. Here also is a canvas by Violet Oakley, another honor medallist. Volk's three charming pictures deserve to be better hung.
I was hurriedly explaining, amid much laughter, when McLane called out, "A nice doll-baby! Up with him!" And away he went, behind a trooper. At Third street bridge were two other officers who must have been tipsy overnight and have slept too late. At last, with our horses half dead, we walked them back to Front and High streets, and got off for a rest and a mug of beer at the coffee-house.
I take great pride in you, my lovely girl; suppose I take you home with me!" He walked to her stool, and laid his warm hand on her neck, standing behind her; she did not move nor change color. "Something has happened to me, Colonel McLane," Hulda spoke, clear as a bell out of a prison, "to make even Johnson's Cross Roads good and happy. Can you guess what it is?"
They reported, therefore, that he was cranky and rode a high horse. "He thinks he's a little tin god on wheels," the drayman said. "Oh, he'll get over that," said McLane. "I knew the boy's folks years ago-tip-top folks, too. He ain't well, and that makes him a little crusty." "That's the trouble-he thinks he's an upper crust," said Jim Cullen, the drayman.
