"I'll think it over." He did think it over very seriously the greater portion of that night. As a result, instead of going to his office next morning he went to Mission Street bulkhead and engaged a launch, and forty minutes later, in response to his hail, the aged watchman aboard the Narcissus came to the rail and asked him what he wanted. "I want to come aboard!" Matt shouted.
"Come, come," Matt said soothingly, "As Skinner says, we can only wait and pray " "All right. You two do the praying. I'm going to sit here and cuss." "Well, we'll hope for the best, Mr. Ricks. No more crying over spilled milk now. I'll figure out when the Narcissus is due at Pernambuco and cable Mike to let his crew go.
And, by-the-by, you might tell Morrish I shall want the horse again in half-an-hour's time." Dorothea left the room on her errand. As she closed the door Narcissus looked up from his toast. "Hot-bed of fiddlesticks!" said he. "I ah beg your pardon?" Endymion, in the act of seating himself at table, paused to stare. "Hot-bed of fiddlesticks!" repeated Narcissus.
Yesterday morning bicycling inland, along a rising road along which alternate green pastures and sea, and woods of dense myrtle and lentisk scrub overtopped by ilexes and cork-trees, there were asphodels enough: deep plantations, little fields, like those of cultivated narcissus, compact masses of their pale salmon and grey shot colours and greyish-green leaves, or fringes, each flower distinct against field or sky, on the ledges of rock and the high earth banks.
And, anticipating that the Narcissus would show him her heels and steer a zigzag course, he immediately launched his last torpedo as the horse transport lay quartering to him. To his disgust, however, the steamer, having avoided the first torpedo, did not run as he had anticipated.
Then Kate, still needing no music on the rack before her, played the "Miserere" from "Il Trovatore," a Hungarian "Czardas," Mendelssohn's "Frühlingslied" and the overture from "William Tell." She followed these with the "Intermezzo" and the "Pizzicato" from "Sylvia," and then with "Narcissus" and "Sans Souci."
But the actress who sang and danced in the principal part ... Miss Lavigne ..." She had loosened her mantle; now she let it drop upon the Eastern carpet, emerging from its blackness as a slender, supple, upright shape in clinging, creamy-white draperies; her exquisite arms bare to the shoulder, and clasped midway by heavy, twisted bracelets of barbaric gold, her nymph-like bosom swelling from the folded draperies of the low-cut bodice like a twin-budded narcissus flowering from the pale calyx, her sweet throat clasped about with Saxham's gift of pearls.
The child Telamonion pressed close to him holding his righthand, gazing at Marcia. "Telamonion, go in and play with Narcissus," said Marcia. She pointed at the curtains and the child obeyed. "Go in and kill him, Pertinax!" Marcia shook the list of names, then stood still suddenly, like a woman frozen, ash-white under the carmine on her cheeks.
Among the statues executed by Cellini, the most important are the silver figure of Jupiter, executed at Paris for Francis I., and the Perseus, executed in bronze for the Grand Duke Cosmo of Florence. He also executed statues in marble of Apollo, Hyacinthus, Narcissus, and Neptune.
To hide the instant's confusion she turned her head away, using a hand to gather in her hair, which the wind was lifting lightly. "That wouldn't quite make us quits," she rejoined; "your life is important, mine isn't. You" she nodded towards the Narcissus "you command men." "So dost thou," he answered, persisting in the endearing pronoun. He meant it to be endearing.
