Hauing passioned thus a while, she hastely ranne and lookt her selfe in her glasse to see if her sinne were not written on her forhead: with looking shee blusht though none lookt vpon her but her owne reflected image. Then began she againe. Heu quam difficile est crimen non prodere vultu; How hard is it not to bewray a mans fault by his forhead.
He fell back a step, wiping his forhead with the back of his left hand. "There! That's my son! That's the only son I got now! That's my chance to live," he cried, with a bitterness that seemed to leave ashes in his throat. "That's my one chance to live that thing you see in the doorway yonder!" Dr. Gurney thoughtfully regarded the bandage strip he had been winding, and tossed it into the open bag.
After what had occurred the thought of facing him across a table during an interminable dinner and sitting with him alone for the long hours of a summer evening drove her to a state bordering on panic. She pushed the thick hair off her forhead with a little gasp. It was cowardly but she could not, would not. Despising herself she crossed the room to the telephone.
When, half dazed, they scrambled to their feet, the girl lay motionless before them, a stream of red blood welling from a deep cut in her forhead, her eyes closed as if in sleep. A moment more and the boy was kneeling beside her, striving to stay the bleeding with his handkerchief. "Do something! For God's sake try to do something," he wailed, piteously.
She had exhausted herself with ceaseless movement, and now for two or three hours lay on a couch as if asleep. The fever burned upon her forhead and in her breath. But at length endurance reached its limits. As she lay still, a thought had taken possession of her at first rejected again and again, but always returning, and with more tempting persistency.
Just then I saw the boatman coming who looks after our motor boat, and I tiptoed to him and asked him to go away, and not to come back unless he had quieter boats and would not whistel. He acted very ugly about it, I must say, but he went. When I came back, Jane was sitting thinking, with her forhead all puckered. "What I don't understand, Bab," she said, "is, why no noise?"
He led it up the steep ascent, where the whistling of bullets made the air musical; and where men dropped so quietly that they were scarcely missed, except in the thinned ranks of the command. The regiment had not recovered from the shock produced by the announcement of the death of Creighton, when Crane himself fell dead at the feet of his comrades, pierced through the forhead by a rifle bullet.
"She goes with him, then?" "She will not leave him. They have lost all their money, but we have made a little purse for them. Oh, my child, what times are these! You have scarcely had any rest these two nights; but do not forget to say your morning prayers." And kissing my forhead, she left me, that I might obey her injunction. It may be said that trade was at a standstill that day.
Bear your own burden, but for God's sake beguile no other human creature into trusting you with theirs! 'But she loves me! Impossible that I should crush and tear so kind, so warm a heart! Poor child poor child! I have played on her pity. I have won all she had to give. And now to throw her gift back in her face oh monstrous oh inhuman! and the cold drops stood on his forhead.
