The sad state of his clothing and his haggard appearance in general struck Dr. Benda at once and forcibly. He needed to ask but a few well chosen questions to get at the underlying cause of this misery, physical and spiritual, in human form. He pretended that he had not lunched and invited Daniel to be his guest at the inn at the sign of the Grape.
The finished politeness with which he removed the books from a chair and the tense way in which he eyed Herr Carovius made it clear to the latter that this was neither the time nor the place to engage in mock conversation. Carovius talked gas pipes. Benda finished all he had to say on this subject in two short, crisp sentences and got up to go.
They separated, horrified by the ghastly simplicity of the plan. Just following this, Benda received the telegram announcing the prospective visit of his lifelong friend, Dr. Hagstrom. He took it at once to Rohan. "Will my friend be permitted to depart again, if he once gets in here?" he demanded with his customary directness. "It depends on you," Rohan replied blandly.
But after they had all resumed their seats at the table, Gertrude sitting between Benda and her father, Eleanore came up and sat down next to Daniel. She never took her eyes off Gertrude; she looked at her in breathless surprise, Gertrude smiled as she had smiled when leaning against the door, timidly and passionately.
Eleanore was right. Her father was quite pleased to see Daniel and Benda. “I am proud of you,” he said to Daniel, “and for your visit to me I thank you. I feel flattered.” “If you had stayed a half hour longer, you might feel differently about it,” replied Daniel. Eleanore gave her father a brief account of what had taken place at the concert.
"The next is this unusual-looking pinnate leaf." He tore off a dry leaflet and handed me a stem with three leaflets irregularly disposed of it. "Now leave a blank page in your book. That will help me remember the order in which they come." Next came a flat insect, which, strangely enough, had two legs missing on one side. However, Benda was moving so fast that I had to put it away without comment.
So, as I don't mean to be trapped there, we will rest on our laurels until we see how matters go." It was well for the corps that Terence abstained from joining the army at Braga. As the French entered the pass of Benda Nova, the peasants rushed furiously down upon them. Many broke into the French columns, and fighting desperately, were slain.
Benda could have sketched Daniel’s face in the darkness: the round forehead, the little nose, pointed and mulish, the rigidly pinched lips, the angular musician’s chin, and the deep dimples in his cheeks. His ignorance of the musician was complete. Like all scholars, he nurtured an ingrained distrust when it came to the supernatural influence of art.
No one knows exactly how to classify you. Neither do I. But, I can't break a rule. That is sin." "What rule? I want to go to New York." "Only those of the Faith who have reached the third degree can come and go. No one can get that in less than three years." "Then you got me in here by fraud?" Benda asked bluntly. Rohan side-stepped gracefully. "You know our innermost secrets now," he explained.
This is certainly an ideal opportunity in my line of work. Even in Heaven I never expected to find such a chance." By this time Benda had regained control of himself. He decided to say nothing to Smith for the time being. They did not meet again for several weeks. In the meantime Benda discovered that his mail was being censored.
