Only a low moan of suffering came from the patient. "There's nothing to be done," said one, "little miss, let's have a bread-knife." Anxious and with half-folded hands she had stood behind the doctors. Now she rushed off and brought the desired implement. "But you're not going to hurt him?" she asked with big, beseeching eyes.
I could not untie it, and I was in a hurry." "How did you cut it?" "With my pocket-knife." "You did not use Mrs. Pitman's bread-knife?" "I did not." "And in cutting it, you cut your wrist, did you?" "Yes. The knife slipped. I have the scar still." "What did you do then?" "I went back to the room, and stanched the blood with a towel." "From whom did you get the medicine?"
There are days when I slice with my driver as if it were a bread-knife." "Really?" "And when I couldn't putt to hit a haystack." "Then I hope it will be on one of those days that you play father." "I hope so, too," I said. "You hope so?" "Yes." "But don't you want to win?" "I should prefer to please you." "Really, how very unselfish of you, Mr. Garnet," she replied, with a laugh.
"I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!" he added, looking angrily at the March Hare. "It was the best butter," the March Hare meekly replied. "Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well," the Hatter grumbled: "you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife."
All his attention and sympathy were centred on the wretched dog, Mike, who was slowly getting over the clubbing he had received and was whimpering like a discontented baby. Mike had a long gash in his neck, evidently made by one of the robbers with Jake's bread-knife.
He seized the chance of directing Jessie's attention to Master Jim Sartin, who was brandishing the bread-knife, and plunged hastily into a description of the doings of Charlotte and Max. Mrs. Sartin accepted the diversion, but kept an anxious eye on Sam, who ate hard and seemed to recover some of his ordinary composure with each mouthful, much to Christopher's amazement.
And Karna, who was moving to and fro while the menfolk ate, had a round, comfortable figure, and was carrying a big bread-knife in her hand. She inspired confidence, and she too looked a regular farmer's wife. A place was found for Pelle on the bed. He extinguished the tallow dip before he undressed, and thrust his underclothing under the pillow.
But she heard the outer door close, and swiftly hid the knife under her coverings. Ida came in, and began to get her own breakfast. She looked about the table. "Have you the bread-knife, Julie?" she asked. "It was certainly here." The invalid answered sullenly: "I? No." "Didn't you see it lying here, Julie?" Ida asked again. "Just here on the bread?" "No," replied the invalid, "It wasn't there.
A year ago, as everybody who reads the newspapers knows, they hanged Jake Oppenheimer, right here in Folsom, for a precisely similar offence . . . only, in his case of battery, he was not guilty of making a guard's nose bleed. He cut a convict unintentionally with a bread-knife. It is strange life and men's ways and laws and tangled paths.
'We have no belief in immortality; we are convinced that this life is all; we know that human happiness is the origin and end of all moral considerations. What right have we to make ourselves and others miserable for the sake of an obstinate idealism? It is our duty to make the best of circumstances. Why will you go cutting your loaf with a razor when you have a serviceable bread-knife?
