And yet I know not—for the object of
his visit here to-night was to serve Jack, who, if your statement is correct, which
I cannot however for a moment believe, does not deserve his assistance. The skipper, Van Galgebrok, affirmed to me,—nay, gave me
the additional testimony of two of his crew,—that he was thrown overboard. We shall have him on his
return. His eyes on Melusine, he uncocked the
pistol, and then reached out to the portrait, grasping it by one edge. I have
given up painting. Bottles and glasses usurped the place of
dishes and plates. ‘Major, sir!’
The major appeared so swiftly that Melusine was instantly suspicious. She was an indignant queen, no doubt she was
alarmed and disgusted within limits; but she was highly excited, and there was
something, some low adventurous strain in her being, some element, subtle at
least if base, going about the rioting ways and crowded insurgent meeting-places
of her mind declaring that the whole affair was after all—they are the only words
that express it—a very great lark indeed. They walked back to 118 hand
in hand.
