When Dr. Anderson entered, Ericson opened his eyes wide. The doctor approached, and taking his hand began to feel his pulse. Then first Ericson comprehended his visit. 'I can't, he said, withdrawing his hand. 'I am not so ill as to need a doctor. 'My dear sir, said Dr. Anderson, courteously, 'there will be no occasion to put you to any pain. 'Sir, said Eric, 'I have no money.
Gertie was miles back, concealed behind piles of triplanes and helicopters and following-surface monoplanes which the wizard inventor, C. Ericson, was creating and ruthlessly destroying.... A small boy was squalling in the seat opposite, and Carl took him from his tired mother and lured him into a game of tit-tat-toe.
'No, of course; we haven't had a chance that way, but it seems to me as if you could get some kind of notion about a man's being a great commander-in-chief without actually seeing him directing a field of battle. Now I don't appear to get that impression from Mr. Ericson. 'Mr. Ericson wouldn't care to show off probably. He likes to keep himself in the background, Helena said warmly.
Oh! For at that moment Ericson, at a word from Helena, who saw that the Duchess was gazing at them, suddenly looked up and caught the beaming eyes of the pretty and sprightly young American woman who had become the wife of a great English Duke. 'The Duchess wants to ask you a question, Sir Rupert said to Ericson, 'and she hopes you won't think her rude or presuming.
Across the links the sound of the sea came with a swell. As they went down the garden, Ericson stopped. Robert thought he was looking back to the house, and went on. When Ericson joined him, he was pale as death. 'What is the maitter wi' ye, Mr. Ericson? he asked in terror. 'Look there! said Ericson, pointing, not to the house, but to the sky. Robert looked up.
I've done as much twenty times since I saw you last, and I'm not dead yet. But I think it's coming. 'What's coming? asked Robert, rising in alarm. 'Nothing, answered Ericson, soothingly, 'only death. I should like to see Miss St. John once before I die. Do you think she would come and see me if I were really dying? 'I'm sure she wad.
I used to fret and fume at the things which were done for my good; that was because I was a child. The crowd is always a child. They had come to the porch by this time, and had stopped short at the threshold. The little porch was draped in flowers and foliage, and looked very pretty. 'You were always a good child, said the old lady affectionately. Ericson looked down at her rather wistfully.
Anderson questioned, prescribed, and, having given directions, went home, to call again in the morning. And now Robert was somewhat in the position of the old woman who 'had so many children she didn't know what to do. Dr. Anderson ordered nourishment for Ericson, and here was Shargar upon his hands as well! Shargar and he could share, to be sure, and exist: but for Ericson ?
'He will very soon be able to give a very clear account, Mrs. Sarrasin said with emphasis. 'I have sent for doctors and police, Sir Rupert observed. 'Before the house was put into a state of siege? 'Before I had requested my friend Mr. Ericson to take command and do the best he could, Sir Rupert said, displeased, he hardly knew why, at Mr. Copping's persistent questioning.
Breathless for fear of losing a word, Robert yet remembered that he had seen something like these words in the papers Ericson had given him to read on the night when his illness began. When he had fallen asleep and silent, he searched and found the poem from which I give the following extracts. He had not looked at the papers since that night.
