"Yes," Blind Benner replied, and caught Bill's coat in his thin hand, giving it a pull.
Bill understood, and, bending lower, placed his ear close to Benner's lips.
"Tell Levi I want him."
Away went Bill like a hurricane, jostling against Faro, who gave him a slap for his rudeness. He was scarcely out of the tent, when Levi entered and asked Benner what he wanted.
"Levi," a low, hoarse, eager tone, "jist knock off them green goggles thet Faro's teasin' her feller 'bout."
Just as Levi turned, as though half in doubt, the man laughed. Instantly Levi's indecision left him, and with a bound he stood before the couple.
"Beg your pardon, Miss Faro, but I've got a curiosity to see your lover's eyes."
The man with the goggles did not move.
"I think you're very impudent, driver, and I'll have Barkup discharge you," Mlle. Faro said indignantly.
A fiendishly gleeful laugh broke from Levi's lips.
