But for Hinton's timely interposition, and the arrival of Doctor H at the critical moment, the face she so loved might have been cold and still now, and the spirit have returned to God who gave it.

"Acton and Bourne teaing together like two birds on a bough!" he gasped. "That would be a funny sight," said Cherry. "Birds don't take tea." "Write an epilogue, Fruity. Teaing together as friendly as Grim and I might." "Only that," said W.E. Grim, with a genial wink, "my opinion is, that Hinton's been on the drink, and seen double."
Old Hinton's determined speech, Susan's parting words and tears, flashed across his mind. "You've lost your bonnie bride," muttered Robert, loud enough to reach his rival's ears.
It was impossible for Charlotte really to doubt her father; but occupied as she was with her wedding preparations, and full of brightness as her sky undoubtedly looked to her just now, she had not forgotten Hinton's manner when she had asked him what faith he put in Mrs. Home's story.

The reader is referred to Hinton's book, The Fourth Dimension, for an extended development of this idea. What follows is a brief summary of his argument. First, he examines the characteristics of a vortex in a three-dimensional fluid. Then he conceives of what such a vortex would be in a four-dimensional medium of analogous properties.
There was indeed a grave and sad reason why this beautiful and innocent woman whom he had won should receive all the full comfort his love and protection could give her as quickly as possible. Her father was dying, and she must not know of his approaching death. Her father wished to see her Hinton's wife as soon as possible.
