Something of the excitement of the fight going on above had entered into him; he now desired ardently that the child should live, should emerge victor from the grim struggle. At last Bellair came back. "Fanny believes that this is the night of crisis," he said slowly. All the buoyancy had left his voice. "But but Elwyn, I hope you won't mind the fact is she's set her heart on your seeing him.
It was not really late, not yet midnight. He could go and leave a message, perhaps even scribble a line to Jim Bellair explaining that he had come round as soon as he had heard of the child's illness. When Hugh Elwyn reached the familiar turning whence he could see the Bellairs' high house, time seemed to have slipped back.
But, suppose it had been Scheringhausen or Scroggins! I think I did very well with Pinkhammer." "Your name," said the other man, seriously, "is Elwyn C. Bellford. You are one of the first lawyers in Denver. You are suffering from an attack of aphasia, which has caused you to forget your identity.
When at last Elwyn left the house, clad in an old light coat of Bellair's in order that the folk early astir should not see that he was wearing evening clothes, he felt happier, more light-hearted, than he had done for years.
The door swung widely open, and Elwyn, moving instinctively back, visualized the scene before him very distinctly. There was a screen on the right hand, a screen covered, as had been the one in his own nursery, with a patchwork of pictures varnished over. Mrs. Bellair stood between the screen and the pale blue wall.
Of course I can't help feeling a bit anxious, but she's so healthy not like those women who have always something the matter with them!" And he, Elwyn, had gripped the other man's hand, and muttered the congratulation which was being asked of him. That meeting, so full of shameful irony, had occurred about a week before the child's birth.
Stout Elwyn, the Welshman, took third place; one of the private archers, named Geoffrey, come fourth; while Clifton must needs content himself with fifth. The men from the open lists shot fairly true, but nervousness and fear of ridicule wrought their undoing. The herald then came forward again, and, instead of announcing the prize-winners, proclaimed that there was to be a final contest.
He rang the bell, and as the door opened, Jim Bellair suddenly came into the hall, out of a room which Elwyn knew to be the smoking-room a room in which he and Fanny had at one time spent long hours in contented, nay in ecstatic, dual solitude. "I have come to inquire I only heard to-night " he began awkwardly, but the other cut him short, "Yes, yes, I understand it's awfully good of you, Elwyn!
She laughed softly, with a strange quality in the sound it was a laugh of happiness yes, and of content and of misery. I tried to look away from her. "You lie, Elwyn Bellford," she breathed, blissfully. "Oh, I know you lie!" I gazed dully into the ferns. "My name is Edward Pinkhammer," I said. "I came with the delegates to the Druggists' National Convention.
