The affair that happened at the gaming-table was likewise a scheme of Trent's, on a hint given by my lord to him to endeavour to lead Booth into some scrape or distress; his lordship promising to pay whatever expense Trent might be led into by such means. Upon his lordship's credit, therefore, the money lent to Booth was really advanced.
'Oh, you've been waiting there, have you? 'And another thing. It wasn't no use you looking up at Thyrza Trent's window. She's away. 'How do you know I looked up? He came nearer, a smile on his face. Totty averted her eyes. 'I suppose it wasn't me you were waiting for, Totty? She said nothing. 'Give me a kiss, Totty. 'I'm sure I shan't, Mr. Ackroyd! 'Then let me take one.
"You've been sick, too, they tell me." "Who could tell you that?" "The young man in Judge Trent's office. Dunham's his name." Sylvia's face crimsoned, and she pulled her hand from its kindly prison. "Then he has broken his word," she said passionately. "Steady, my girl. Perhaps you haven't the facts, and you can't think right till you have, you know."
Galen Albret sat still without attempting to renew the struggle. The enforced few moments of inaction had restored to him his self-control. He was still deeply angered, but the insanity of rage had left him. Outwardly he was himself again. Only a rapid heaving of his chest answered Ned Trent's quick breathing, as the two men glared defiantly at each other in the pause that followed.
His repeated cross-questionings, when they touched on the question of Ned Trent's companion, got no farther than the Cree wooden stolidity. No, they had seen no one, neither presence, sign, nor trail. But Galen Albret, versed in the psychology of his savage allies, knew they lied. He suspected them of clan loyalty to one of their own number; and yet they had never failed him before.
"Then don't you ever come into the office and give me heart failure by your unkind comments." "I don't know as I ever shall," returned Miss Lacey, suddenly pensive and looking into space. "The other day I was clear out of Judge Trent's office and into the street, and it was too late to go back, before I realized that I'd scarcely got three words from him that were really definite or any use to me.
I am in Judge Trent's office, and he sent me here with your aunt to represent him." "My aunt saved a lot of time," rejoined the girl slowly, speaking low. "She represented them both while I stood there behind the curtain." Her hands pressed together, and she looked again from one to the other. "There isn't anything for you to stay for now, is there?" she added, after a painful silence.
I hear of you as an empire-maker and a millionaire. Nevertheless, Monty was alive and you knew he was alive, but when I reach Attra he has been spirited away! I want to know where! You say you don't know. It may be true, but it doesn't sound like it." Trent's under-lip was twitching, a sure sign of the tempest within, but he kept himself under restraint and said never a word.
In both eyes the clear hazel of the iris was broken by a tiny, irregularly shaped patch of vivid blue, close to the pupil, and its effect was to give that curious depth and intentness of expression which Molly had tried to describe when she had said that Garth Trent's were the kind of eyes which "make you jump if he looked at you suddenly."
"He's a gentleman -a regular, sea-going officer." "Sea-going" is the highest praise that can be given in Navy circles. "If I were in Trent's division, probably you'd have fallen under Cantor," Darrin suggested. "That would have been all right," nodded Dalzell, cheerily. "Cantor has no direct cause to hate me, as he has in your case.
