“Oh, damn!” he said. “Don’t you get it, Lucy? I’ve always thought he was
an idiot. "
"How so?" asked Thames. Don’t ask me how. "
"How so?" asked the other, distrustfully. What had urged her to wrench loose and fly was the guarding instinct of
the good woman. Silly, isn’t it? Undisciplined. She silently willed him to
stop his pacing, to calm down. Sorrows
and danger and disappointment she had known. She
would lure him, as he was an easily tempted child
predator who could even more easily be turned into prey. "Why, you don't think as how they're crimps, do you?" Ben inquired. It was
obviously pitched well, hitting her head at a good thirtyfive miles per hour. Lucy was
surprised to hear that any party could happen on a week
night, but the parents of the house in question were the
rich absentee type. Cowering
in a corner upon a heap of straw sat his unfortunate mother, the complete wreck
of what she had been. It hung from the centre of a stout pole, each end of which
rested upon the calloused shoulder of a coolie; an ordinary Occidental chair with
a foot-rest.
