Thus he awoke, tossed in his berth aboard the Hatteras and a gale was on. The ship, Southward bound, was far off the cape for which she was named, asking only wide sea-room, to take the big rollers with easy grace. Bedient had not slept long. He had not slept for two consecutive hours during the past ten days.
The cook said: "I'm Andrew Bedient and are you a correspondent?" "A cub and pretty nearly a starved cub.... There's been nothing to buy, you know, and this outfit was hung up here grubless. The trails aren't open enough to travel alone. Some of the officers might have taken me in " "We have plenty. The packers hadn't had their coffee when I gave you the pail," Bedient whispered.
And now that life had cast him into this place, Bedient found himself utterly unable to contend with the squalor of fact and mind; indeed, he was quite as ineffectual as he had been in the midst of the glittering deviltry of The Pleiad.... Abased before realities; lost to the meaning of every excellence of his life-training; shattered by psychic revolts; his brain reflecting the strange mirages and singing the vague nothings of starvation but enumeration only dulls the picture!
And now Vina appeared, to lead them to the big round table in the room of the cabinets. "He will be here in a minute," she said. At each place of the table was an engraved card, which Vina explained: "When Mr. Bedient first came to my studio to me it was a wonderful afternoon.
Such women are saviors always giving themselves to men silently falling with men." "But about the artist?" Beth asked. "What is his measure of the driving Energy? How does it work upon him?" "He has risen from the common," Bedient replied. "He feels the furious need of completion, some one to ignite his powers and perfect his expression. It is a woman, but he has an ideal about her.
"It's so tonic and bracing to watch one's friend burst into bloom!... I needed the stimulus, too. You are helping me." It was Cairns' turn to shade his eyes for a clearer view of the night. David Cairns left Beth at her elevator, and walked down the Avenue toward Gramercy. It was still an hour from midnight. As he had hoped, Bedient was at the Club.
It was during the four days while Captain Carreras remained in Coral City with Jaffier, that Bedient entered into the mysterious enchantment of the Andante movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Again and again it unfolded for him, but not its full message. There was a meaning in it for him!
Something of his dazed, ashen look brought back to Bedient the afternoon of the great wind the Captain expecting to stick to his ship.... The table was set for two, and on one corner was the fresh handkerchief and the rose-dark meerschaum bowl.
I'm a spinster.... That word hypnotizes me. I'm all ice again. I shall know Mr. Bedient ethically and not otherwise." Cairns laughed with her, but something within hurt. His relation with Beth Truba had been long, and increasingly delightful, since the ordeal of becoming just a friend was safely past.
I think I think if you hadn't looked so like a dead man, Señor Rey would have done the natural thing, as you came forth from the forecastle."... The big chap glanced at the pistol on the table. "What is it you want with me?" Again and again, in the stifling forecastle, Bedient had swooned from the heat, the vile air and his utter weakness.
