In the pilot's seat Bland Halliday, goggled and capped for flying, tested the controls before he eased the motor into its work. Johnny, with his head bent low against the backwash of dust, looked at Mary V. Words were useless, worse than inadequate.

It is Milton himself who speaks when he makes Samson exclaim: "O loss of sight, of thee I most complain! Blind among enemies: O worse than chains, Dungeon, or beggary, or decrepit age! Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, And all her various objects of delight Annulled, which might in part my grief have eased.

With the aid of friends he was finally located and an affecting scene followed in which the master loaded him with kindness, treating him very much as that other prodigal son was treated by his father. Beethoven's personal intervention with the magistrate eased the situation for the nephew.
