"How can we ever begin over again?" said White, and sat for a long time staring gloomily into the fire, forgetting forgetting, forgetting too that men who are tired and weary die, and that new men are born to succeed them.... "We have to begin over again," said White at last, and took up Benham's papers where he had laid them down....
But there, perhaps, there was less scope for the distinctive line and already they had Garvin. Quite a number of Benham's friends pointed out to him the value of working out some special aspect of our national political interests. A very useful speciality was the Balkans. Mr.
"No, I haven't promised it." "Got another candidate?" "Only the man who ought to have it," answered the Premier, and Benham's air so infected him that he felt the answer to be a very weak one. "You see," objected Benham, "from what I can learn you're only in office from day to day, so to speak, and where shall I be if you get turned out?"
During the evening of the 1st of November General Benham's brigade came to the post at Gauley Bridge to strengthen the garrison, and was encamped on the Kanawha side near the falls, where the widening of the valley put them out of range of the enemy's fire.
Moreover, it quickens the garrulous mind, and steadies the happiness of love. Across the varied adventures of Benham's journey in China fell the shadow first of a suspicion and then of a certainty.... The perfected and ancient vices of China wrapped about Prothero like some tainted but scented robe, and all too late Benham sought to drag him away. And then in a passion of disgust turned from him.
Older and wiser heads than young Arthur Benham's might well forget the world for her. Ste. Marie watched, and the heartsickness within him was like a physical pain, keen and bitter. He thought of that first and only previous meeting the single minute in the Champs-Elysées, when her eyes had held him, had seemed to beseech him out of some deep agony.
We've got to capture London. We've got to scale it. We've got advantages of all sorts. But at present we're outside. We've got to march in." Her clear hazel eyes contemplated conflicts and triumphs. She was roused by Benham's voice. "What the deuce are you thinking of, Amanda?" She turned her level eyes to his. "London," she said. "For you." "I don't want London," he said. "I thought you did.
And if Benham's voice had seemed to call for any additional remark, he would probably have added, "It's 'igh time, sir, something of the sort was done. Will you have the white wesket as before, sir, or a fresh one this evening?... Unless it's a very special occasion, sir.... Exactly, sir. THANK you, sir."
There was private wailing and gnashing of teeth also, for in the panic a few of these bankers and brokers had been submerged, and the collateral of Benham's leading citizens had been swept away. The panic itself was brief as panics always are, but it left behind it everywhere a paralyzed community.
But now everything is challenged. By the time of his second visit to Russia, Benham's ideas of conscious and deliberate aristocracy reaching out to an idea of universal responsibility had already grown into the extraordinary fantasy that he was, as it were, an uncrowned king in the world. To be noble is to be aristocratic, that is to say, a ruler.
