Hubers, you want to help him! I'm not sorry you saw that little thing just now. It will show you the other side of it the human side. And there wasn't anything unusual in it. All over the world, physicians are doing this same thing every day telling people it's hopeless, admitting there's nothing to be done.
Hubers' wife, that she may get in shape to work with him as his assistant, and enable him to carry on his work and do those things, which, as you correctly state, are still unachieved." Now the delivering of that pleased Dr. Parkman very much. He scarcely attempted to conceal his righteous pride.
The instantaneousness with which he had waked up was fairly gruesome. He was looking straight at Georgia; all three were held by his manner. "Now my dear Mr. Beason," she laughed finally, "don't be so hard on us. My mother and Dr. Hubers' mother were sisters, but please don't rub it in so unmercifully that poor mother has been altogether distanced in the matter of offspring.
It was not pleasing to have the greatness of his idol explained on unscientific principles. He did not like that idea of the jumps. Jumping sounded unscientific, and what could be worse than to say of a man that he was not scientific? Preposterous to say the greatest things of science were achieved by unscientific methods! To-day Dr. Hubers had been all afternoon alone in his laboratory.
"Oh, not disagreeably so," she retorted. "You see," turning to Beason, who was plainly impatient at this shifting to anything so irrelevant as a wife, "I play quite a leading part in Dr. Hubers' life. I'm his cousin that's the accident of birth; but I handed over to him his wife, for which he owes me undying gratitude. I'm looking for something really splendid from Europe."
He says he would be willing to do that, but he thinks it will help me to be able to make some of the observations for Dr. Hubers myself. I well, it sometimes makes me sick to see things I don't like," laughing a little, and plainly unnerved. "Oh, no," he assured her; "it will not be that bad." But he added, uneasily: "Dr. Parkman seems anxious for you to come?"
And there's another thing to remember. We have seen the results of the victories. Only Karl Hubers knows of the fights." "I know of some of them," said Ernestine, simply. "Yes," he corrected himself "you. And before we quite deify Karl we must reckon with you. He could not have done it without you." "He would not have tried," she said and the man turned away. That look was not his to see.
It doesn't matter," he concluded, opening the door. "Well now, I'll tell you, doctor," said Lane, and part of his face was white, and part of it was red, "while you're out here, you would better go up and see Hastings. I'm sure I can say speaking for the committee that we will be very glad to have Mrs. Hubers here."
Beason, and the longer I live the more firmly I believe that there is such a thing as an intuitive sense of truth. If there isn't, why is Dr. Hubers a greater man than I am?" and with that he left him, smiling a little at how it had never occurred to Beason to say anything polite. Beason was in truth much perturbed.
After Réaumur, according to the dictum of the great Latreille, entomology was confined to a wearisome and interminable nomenclature, and if we except the Hubers, two unparalleled observers, although limited and circumscribed, the only writer who filled the interregnum between Réaumur and Fabre was Léon Dufour.
