Rilleau inquired, blankly. Bernie nodded. "Well, so am I, so are Delevan and Mangny, and the others." "Not this way." Mr. Dreux's alcoholic flush deepened. "He thought she was in danger, so he flew to her side. Mighty unselfish to sacrifice his business and brave the disease. He did it with my consent, y'understand? When he asked me, I said, 'Norvin, my boy, she needs you. So he went.
Would his life bear that burning appealing glance? Then, unexpectedly the child's face lit up with his wonderful smile. He had decided to trust the man. Never before in all his proud and varied experience had Delevan Endicott encountered a challenge like that. It beat through him like a mighty army and took his heart by storm, it flashed into his eyes and dazzled him.
"I believe even I might be happy if both you and Edith could live with me," he said, at last, when Albany was reached, and they were ascending the steps to the Delevan.
