But you drove out my suspicion. I don't know exactly how. And since then after you got your verdict in London I saw Dumeny smile at you as he went out of the Court. I have never been able to forget that smile. Now I understand it. One by one you've managed to get rid of them all. And now at last you've arrived at me, and you've said to yourself, 'It's his turn to be kicked out now. Haven't you?"
The Judge continued his analysis of Mrs. Clarke's intimacy with Dumeny. He was scrupulously fair; he gave full weight to the mutual attraction which may be born out of common intellectual tastes an attraction possibly quite innocent, quite free from desire of anything but food for the brain, the subtler emotions, and the soul "if you like to call it so, gentlemen."
"I thought you cared so very much for knowledge and taste in a man." "So I do. But Jimmy will never have knowledge and taste. He's the boisterous athletic type." "And you're glad?" "Not sorry, at any rate. He'll just be a thorough man, if he's brought up properly, and that will do very well." "I think you're very complex," Dion said, still thinking of Dumeny.
The two co-respondents, Hadi Bey and Aristide Dumeny of the French Embassy in Constantinople, were in court, sitting not far from Dion, to whom Mrs. Chetwinde, less vague than, but quite as self-possessed as, usual, pointed them out. Both were young men. Hadi Bey, who of course wore the fez, was a fine specimen of the smart, alert, cosmopolitan and cultivated Turk of modern days.
"We find that the respondent has not been guilty of misconduct with Hadi Bey." After a slight pause, speaking in a louder voice than before, the clerk of the court said: "Do you find that the respondent has been guilty or not guilty of misconduct with the co-respondent, Aristide Dumeny?" "We find that the respondent has not been guilty of misconduct with Aristide Dumeny."
Noa, noa, we niver heeard a wod more o' t' awd lass. Our rig'mint went to Pindi, an' t' Canteen Sargint he got himself another tyke insteead o' t' one 'at got lost so reg'lar, an' was lost for good at last. I closed and drew for my Love's sake, That now is false to me, And I slew the Riever of Tarrant Moss, And set Dumeny free.
If I went to the bazaars alone they were Eastern shops; if I went with Dumeny they were the Arabian Nights. Do you understand?" "Yes." "The touch of his mind on a thing gave it life. It stirred. One could look into its heart and see the pulse beating. I care to do that, so I cared to go about with Monsieur Dumeny. But one doesn't love people for that sort of thing.
He felt hot at the mere thought of his Rosamund making night expeditions in caiques alone with young men such, for instance, as Hadi Bey; or listening alone at midnight in a garden pavilion isolated, shaded by trees, to the music made by a Dumeny. Dumeny! The Judge pronounced his name.
"Because I make friends in so many directions?" "Well yes, partly," he answered, wondering if she was reading his thought. "Jimmy's not a friend but my boy. I know very well Monsieur Dumeny, for instance, whom you saw, and I dare say wondered about, at the trial; but I couldn't bear that my boy should develop into that type of man. You'll say I am a treacherous friend, perhaps.
Nevertheless she pitied him for being, or for having been, so exclusive in love. And she wondered at him not a little. Lit-up caiques glided out on the bay far beneath her. A band was playing on the quay. She wished it would stop, and she glanced at a little watch which Aristide Dumeny had given her, and which was pinned among the dark blue folds of her gown.
