They had turned their backs to the Tandem; the grooms looked after them, standing motionless at the horses' heads. "Mr. Siward, this is too fine to miss," she said. "I will walk as far as the headland with you. Please smoke if you care to." He did care to; several matches were extinguished by the wind until she spread her skids as a barrier; and kneeling in their shelter he got his light.
And, to Siward: "There is room for your gun and suit case." "And for me?" he asked, smiling. "I think so. Be careful of that Sagamore pup, Flynn. Hold him between your knees. Are you ready, Mr. Siward?"
"A man from whom a woman desires nothing is already convicted of insufficiency. You would recognise this very quickly if I made love to you." "Is that the only way I am to discover your insufficiency, Mr. Siward?" "Or my sufficiency. Have you enough curiosity to try?" "Oh! I thought you were to try."
Her interest, too, in people had seemingly been extinguished. Somebody, Captain Voucher, perhaps, mentioned to somebody in her hearing that Siward was still in New York. If she heard she made no sign, no inquiry.
I'm tired, I suppose; and this man Quarrier has come close to worrying me. But it's all right, of course, if you wish it. You know I haven't any nerves." "If you are tired " began Siward. "No, no, I'm not. I'll go. Will you say that we'll stop for them at seven? Really, it's all right, Siward." "I don't want to urge you," repeated Siward. "You're not. I'll go.
The feeble government of Edward established these abuses. He could find no method of humbling one subject grown too great, but by aggrandizing in the same excessive degree some others. Thus, he endeavored to balance the power of Earl Godwin by exalting Leofric, Duke of Mercia, and Siward, Duke of Northumberland, to an extravagant greatness.
"You are feeling the pace a little," he said, coming up and standing in front of her. "The pace? No, Mr. Siward." "Are you a trifle bored?" She considered him in silence, then leaned back luxuriously, rounded arms raised, wrists crossed to pillow her head. "This is charmingly new to me," she said simply. "What? Not the open?"
A bath followed; he dressed leisurely, and was pacing the room, fussing with his collar, when Ferrall knocked and entered, finding a seat on the bed. "Stephen," he said bluntly, "I haven't seen you since that break of yours at the club." "Rotten, wasn't it?" commented Siward, tying his tie. "Perfectly.
Bjarki having acquired a reputed bear-ancestry from the fictitious story about Siward, the saga consistently takes this into account and substitutes a dragon, also acquired from the story about Siward, for the bear, which, in Saxo's version, is the kind of animal that Bjarki slays.
Neither, indeed, did legend or fame ascribe to that eminent personage those romantic achievements, those feats of purely animal prowess, which distinguished his rival, Siward. Brave he was, but brave as a leader; those faculties in which he appears to have excelled all his contemporaries, were more analogous to the requisites of success in civilised times, than those which won renown of old.
