'But come now let us understand? Ericson asked; 'how can the society be healthy at the core for which you yourself make the apology by saying that it parrots the jargon of a false and loathsome creed because it has nothing better to say, or because it hopes to be thought witty by parroting it? Come, Sir Rupert, you won't maintain that?
I cannot bear to lose my consciousness even in sleep. It is such a terrible thing! 'I suppose that's ane o' the reasons that we canna be content withoot a God, responded Robert. 'It's dreidfu' to think even o' fa'in' asleep withoot some ane greater an' nearer than the me watchin' ower 't. But I'm jist sayin' ower again what I hae read in ane o' your papers, Mr. Ericson. Jist lat me luik.
Ericson sniffed. "Well, she has a fair half section in her own name, but I can't see as that does Olaf much good. She will have a good deal of property some day, if old Vavrika don't marry again. But I don't consider a saloonkeeper's money as good as other people's money." Nils laughed outright. "Come, Mother, don't let your prejudices carry you that far. Money's money.
'Indeed! said Ericson. 'How am I to come to know him? I am not very strong on folk-lore. 'Why? answered Mr. Sarrasin. 'Because he is stopping in your hotel. This letter which I have received from him this morning is dated from Paulo's Hotel, the chosen home apparently of all illustrious persons. The Dictator smiled.
Helena flung a saucy little glance of defiance at the principal intruder. 'I know you were sent for me, she said. 'Papa wants me? 'Yes, the intruder replied; 'if I had not been sent I should never have ventured to follow you into this room. 'Of course not this is my special sanctuary. Lady Seagraves has dedicated it to me, and now I dedicate it to Mr. Ericson.
'I am glad, to hear you say so, Hamilton interposed quickly. 'Had you ever any doubt of my feelings on that subject? Ericson asked with a smile. 'Oh, no, of course not; but I don't always like to hear you talking about the troubles of these old worn-out countries, as if you had anything to do with them or were born to set them right.
Ericson I am for wives obeying their husbands, and as much as possible effacing themselves. The Dictator did not quite see that following one's husband to the wars in man's clothes was exactly an act of complete self-effacement on the part of a woman. But he could see at a glance that Mrs. Sarrasin was absolutely serious and sincere in her description of her own condition and conduct.
When Nils greeted his mother and climbed into the front seat of the motor beside her, Mrs. Ericson looked grim, but she made no comment upon his truancy until she had turned her car and was retracing her revolutions along the road that ran by Olaf's big pasture. Then she remarked dryly: "If I were you I wouldn't see too much of Olaf's wife while you are here.
It was a very pretty little room, its walls not papered, but painted a soft amber colour. No pictures were on the walls. 'I like the idea of your walls, Ericson said. 'The walls are themselves the decoration. 'Yes, she said, 'that was exactly our idea let the colour be the decoration; but I don't know that I ever heard anyone discover the idea before.
From her talk with Ericson, and even more from the influence of his sad holy doubt, a fresh touch of the actinism of the solar truth fell upon the living seed in her heart, and her life burst forth afresh, began to bud in new questions that needed answers, and new prayers that sought them. But she never dreamed that Robert was capable of sympathy with such thoughts and feelings: he was but a boy.
