"Aye, he died here, and his wife and sister too. They all lie here in this old MARAE." And then he told the story of Brantley.
But to all this was added a fear and, dread that made her soul grow faint when thought cast itself forward into the coming time. The Rev. Mr. Brantley Elliott was a wiser and truer man than some who read him superficially imagined.
With Rua Manu and two others of his faithful native crew, Brantley walked quickly across the island to the lagoon to where the boat lay. Luita was not there, and the dark eyes of his sailors met his in a responsive glow of hope she had not died in the boat! They turned back into the silent aisles of coconut palms, and then Rua Manu loudly called her name. "Listen," he said.
Some defect of judgment. He is a good climber; but not sure-footed. Or, it may be that beyond a certain height his head grows dizzy." "If one gets too eager in any pursuit, he is almost sure to make false steps. I think Brantley became too eager. The steadily widening prospect as he went up, up, up, caused his pulses to move at a quicker rate." "Too eager, and less scrupulous," I suggested.
As they emerged from the shrubbery they were both a little surprised to see a carriage standing in the full glow of the light from the open hall door. "Who can have arrived?" said Mrs. Lancaster, not sorry, perhaps, for a diversion. "I did not know that Mrs. Brantley was expecting any one." "Who has come, Ellis?" Victor said carelessly to a young man who emerged from the house as they approached.
Brantley a fact which may serve as a small proof of the weakness of man's resolve, and his general inability to fight against fate, especially when it is embodied in a woman's bright eyes. "What have you been doing with yourself?" she asked after the first salutations were over. "Have you been taking counsel with solitude on the Egyptian question?
In 1910 letters were written to President Taft, to the members of Congress from Georgia and to Governor "Joe" Brown, as requested by Dr. Shaw, national president. Senator Clay and Representatives W. C. Brantley, S. A. Roddenberry and W. C. Adamson were the only ones who could spare time to answer.
For a moment neither men spoke; then Latham gave a short cough. "I feel it almost as badly as you, Brantley but I've got a bit more bad news " "Go on, Latham it can't matter much. My poor sister is everything to me." "Just so. That's what I told Miss Brantley.
And, see, she has dreamed of this unknown evil to thee twice; and twice have the voices of those who are silent in the MARAE called to me in the night, and said: 'He must not go; he must not go." Knowing well how the old superstitious taint ran riot in the imaginative native mind, Brantley did not attempt to reason, but sought to gently disengage her hands from his arm.
"It is my belief," I answered, "that if he had not swerved, he would not have fallen. I may be wrong, but cannot help the impression." "Brantley is an honest man. I will maintain that in the face of every one," was replied. "Honest as the world regards honesty. But there are higher than legal standards. What A and B may consider fair, C may regard as questionable.
