It melted the shell of my reserve; it burst through the ice of my convictions; it swept me off my feet upon a torrent of wondrous fire. I knew nothing in heaven or earth but that this love was mine, and was for me. And then oh, Deryck! I can't explain I don't know myself how it happened but this whirlwind of emotion came to rest upon my heart.
I did not wish to ask Simpson's help, because the subjects, are well, somewhat unusual, and if he found out I had destroyed them it might set him wondering and talking, and one hates to awaken curiosity in a servant. I could not fall back on Sir Deryck because he would have recognised the portraits. The principal figure is known to him.
Dalmain, in which he will be most comfortable as soon as he feels inclined to sit up. You see? Here is an adjustable support for the head, if necessary; and these various trays and stands and movable tables can be swung round into any position by a touch. I consider it excellent, and Sir Deryck approved it. Have you seen one of this kind before, Nurse Gray?"
She, also, had need of many things. Not of half-crowns; of those she had plenty. But above all else she needed just now a wise, strong, helpful friend, and Deryck had not failed her. She read his telegram through once more, and smiled. How like him to think of the coffee; and oh, how like him to be coming to the station. She took off her hat and leaned back against the cushions.
Nurse Rosemary, sitting beside him during long sweet hours of companionship, is learning it; and Jane, ramping up and down her narrowing strip of desert, tastes the sirocco of despair. And now I come to the point of my letter, and, though I am a woman, I will not put it in a postscript. Deryck, can you come up soon, to pay him a visit, and to talk to me?
"I had no idea of seeming curious as to your private correspondence, Miss Gray. Only it is such a pleasure to report progress to you in the things I manage to find out without being told." "But I meant to tell you anyway," said Nurse Rosemary. "The letter is from Sir Deryck, and, amongst other things, he says he is coming up to see you next Saturday." "Ah, good!" said Garth.
Suddenly a voice behind her said: "Sing it, Jane." She turned quickly. The doctor had come in, and was lying back luxuriously in a large arm-chair at her elbow, his hands clasped behind his head. "Sing it, Jane," he said. "I can't, Deryck," she answered, still softly sounding the chords. "I have not sung for months." "What has been the matter for months?"
Also I have a little private plan, which depends largely for its fulfilment on your coming. Oh, Boy come! Yours, needing you, Jeanette. From Sir Deryck Brand to Nurse Rosemary Gray, Castle Gleneesh, N. B. Wimpole Street. My dear Jeanette: Certainly I will come. I will leave Euston on Friday evening.
Oh, Jim, read them quickly! ... Sir Deryck Brand brought them down from town this afternoon.
At the same time, I may add, while this dear face is under discussion, that I can look back to times when I have felt that I would gladly walk twenty miles for a sight of it; and in its absence I have always wished it present, and in its presence I have never wished it away." "Ah, but, Deryck, you did not have to have it always opposite you at meals," insisted Jane gravely. "Unfortunately not.
