Money could not possibly be spared for such ornamentation as ships and guns and bodies of trained men. We could not afford it! As I passed the corner of Agar Street a drunken cabdriver, driving two noisily intoxicated men in evening dress, brought his cab into collision with a gaunt, wolf-eyed man who had been scouring the gutter for scraps of food.
"He was not killed in the disaster," admitted Arthur. In his heart he was still clinging to the other hope subtly held out by Seymour Michael the hope that in his simple intrepidity Jem had gone to his death. "Then where is he where is he, Arthur? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Agar was white and breathless.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds with Jerusalem that now is, and is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
"Make it a bottle of champagne to celebrate the return of the explorer, and I am your man," said Michael heartily. "Make it anything you like," answered Agar, in a gentler voice. He was beginning to come under the influence of Seymour Michael's sweet voice, and of that fascination which nearly all educated Jews unconsciously exercise.
But is it an excellence which can he purchased? is it a phenomenon which depends on nothing else than itself, or is it an effect which has a cause? You cannot buy devotion at a price. "It hath never been heard of in the land of Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman. The children of Agar, the merchants of Meran, none of these have known its way."
It is usually, one notices, those persons who are incapable of the feeling themselves who seek to interfere in the affairs of others. That one of the principals should seek aid in such interference proves without appeal that he does not know his business. Such aid as this Arthur Agar had sought.
"Ah, well, gold perhaps," she said after a while, impatiently, as she snapped open the chain purse that hung from her wrist. "Is that you, Miss Agar?" Olive, seeing her counting out her money, like the queen in the nursery rhyme, had stopped short near the door.

And so the second link was welded on to the first, while only Anna Agar knew the motive that had prompted Michael to suppress the news. She divined that it was spite towards herself, and for once in her life, with that intuition which only comes at supreme moments, she had the wisdom to bide her time. Then at last Seymour Michael spoke.
James Agar was perfectly happy. There must have been somewhere in his sporting soul that love of Nature which drives men into solitude making gamekeepers and fishermen and explorers of them. It was in this man's character to wait passive until responsibility came to him, when he accepted it readily enough; but he never went out to meet it.
