"How about a public-relations job on that order? Won't that sort of publicity meet the requirements? Will your patient be satisfied with that grade of appreciation?" Holden drew a deep breath. He said unsteadily: "As a neurotic personality, he won't require that it be true. All he'll want is the seeming. But Jed, could it be really true? Could it?" Cochrane laughed unpleasantly.
"And you've testified that when you moved into the Holden home, you found things as the Holdens had provided them for their child?" "Yes." "In your opinion, were these surroundings suitable for James Holden?" "They were far too advanced for a child of five." "I asked specifically about James Holden." "James Holden was five years old."
As guardian and trustee of the Holden Estate, he was responsible to the State for his handling of James Holden's inheritance. The State takes a sensible view of the disbursements of the inheritance of a minor. Reasonable sums may be spent on items hardly deemed necessities to the average person, but the ceiling called "reasonable" is a flexible term and subject to close scrutiny by the State.
"I wish I were half as good as my brother" is a very definite expression, and not a bit like "My brother James is a good fellow." Now if Sir Isaac Holden did convey this expression to the Rev. Allen Rees, the old gentleman has a treacherous memory; if he did not, the expression must be ascribed to the reverend gentleman's invention. Mrs.
Al, the pilot, sat at the controls with an air of special alertness. "You're all right? For our lined up trip, we ought to leave in about twenty minutes. We'll be pointing just about right then." "I'm all right," said Cochrane. "And you can take off when you please." To Jones he said: "How'd you find us? I didn't think it could be done." "Doctor Holden figured it out," said Jones.
An ensuing visit to the Holden lot barber, in obedience to social demands construed to be equally imperious with the physical, reduced all subsequent counting, whether by fingertips or a glance of the eye, to barest mechanical routine. A single half-dollar is easy to count. Still, on the following morning there were two coins to count. True, both were dimes.
Beautifully bright then as now sparkled in the light of the May morning sun, the waves of that glorious bay, unrivalled but by one, while little boats and pinnaces darting about in all direction like sea-birds, gave animation to a scene, which without the accompaniment would have possessed peculiar interest to one who, like Holden, had lived so long in seclusion.
And if, in what I am about to say, it shall appear to some that my labour is unnecessary, and that I am like a man fighting a battle without enemies, such persons may be reminded, that, whatever be the language outwardly holden by men, a practical faith in the opinions which I am wishing to establish is almost unknown.
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
But Luke, the physician, is more precise in his description of the case: 'holden by a great fever. He traces the cure to the word of rebuke, which, no doubt, accompanied the clasp of the hand. Here again Christ puts forth divine power in producing effects in the material sphere by His naked word.
