"I am much interested in your mother and sister, and I want them to be happy.
You will think better of it in the morning. I beg you to drop the matter. Let us retire to the next room and have our friendly drink." I thought he would have run me through for my interference, so blackly did he glare at me; but the next instant he sheathed his sword and laughed. "You are right," he said.

For weeks after leaving New York he had seen the world blackly through eyes that grasped no perspective.
