"I shouldn't have thought he could have stirred in the morning," Rulledge employed Halson's pause to say. "Well, this beaver had to," Halson said. "He was not the only early riser. He found Miss Hazelwood at the station before him." "What!" Rulledge shouted. I confess the fact rather roused me, too; and Wanhope's eyes kindled with a scientific pleasure. "She came right towards him. 'Mr.
I'd rather hear your guess, if you know Braybridge better than I," Wanhope said. "Well," Halson compromised, "perhaps I've known him longer." He asked, with an effect of coming to business: "Where were you?" "Tell him, Rulledge," Minver ordered, and Rulledge apparently asked nothing better. He told him, in detail, all we knew from any source, down to the moment of Wanhope's arrested conjecture.

Rulledge rose and went away growling something, partially audible, to the disadvantage of Minver's wit, and the painter laughed after him: "He really believes it." Wanhope's mind seemed to be shifted from Mrs. Ormond to her convert, whom he followed with his tolerant eyes. "Nothing in all this sort of inquiry is so impossible to predicate as the effect of any given instance upon a given mind.
When brought to book for his inconsistency by Rulledge, he said he was merely welcoming the new blood, if not young blood, that Newton was infusing into our body, which had grown anaemic on Wanhope's psychology and Rulledge's romance; or, anyway, it was a change.
He now believed that without her he must die, without her he could not wish to live. "Jove," Rulledge broke in at this point of Wanhope's story, which I am telling again so badly, "I think Alford was in luck." Minver gave a harsh cackle.
Alford dropped weakly into the only chair in the room, which stood next the door by the head of his bed, and abandoned himself a helpless prey to the logic of the events. It was at this point, which I have been able to give in Wanhope's exact words, that, in the ensuing pause, Rulledge asked, as if he thought some detail might be denied him: "And what was the logic of the events?"

He smoked with great energy, and cast his eyes alertly about as if to make sure that there was no chance of Wanhope's physically escaping him, from the corner of the divan, where he sat pretty well hemmed in by the rest of us, spreading in an irregular circle before him. "You unscientific people are always wanting an instance, as if an instance were convincing.
