"I'm sorry you are going away so soon, Hawkins. We could have given you some boating if you had time. You might come out to-morrow afternoon that's this afternoon if you haven't anything better to do." "I'm very much obliged, but I was going to meet Mr. Geisner." "That settles it then. Anybody would sooner have a yarn with Geisner. We'll fix some boating when you're down again. You'll come again.
For the first time in his life, he coveted such things with a righteous covetousness, without hating those who had them, recognising without words that to have and to appreciate such a life was to desire ceaselessly to bring it within the reach of every human being. He could not see how this was all to come about. He would have followed blindly anybody who played the Marseillaise as Geisner did.
The whole wage system must be utterly done away with." And Geisner rolled another cigarette as though it was the simplest idea in the world. "How? What will you do instead?" "How! By having men understand what it is, and how there can be no true happiness and no true manliness until they overthrow it!
"What with the Chinese and the squatters doing as they liked and hating the sight of a white man, we'd all have been cleared out if we hadn't organised." "Coloured labour has been the curse of Queensland all through," remarked Ford. "I think it has made Queensland as progressive as it is, too," remarked Geisner.
Geisner and Stratton put on their hats and went with them down the verandah stops to the little stone quay below. Josie was standing there, in the drizzle, wrapped in a cloak and holding a lantern. In a rowing skiff, alongside, was George; another lantern was set on one of the seats.
When Ned asked after Geisner, she said he had not been back since and she had only heard once, indirectly, that he was well. Thus she led him to talk and he told her partly what took place between Strong and himself. Strong's offer he could not tell to anyone. "You didn't get on with Nellie last night?" she asked, alluding to his "worrying."
From outside came the ceaseless lap-lap-lapping of water, imperceptibly eating away the granite rock, caring not for time, blindly working, destroying the old and building up the new. The touch of a hand roused Ned. He looked up. Mrs. Stratton had gone through the door concealed by the hangings. Geisner stood before him, calmly lighting another cigarette with a match.
But it stands to reason don't it? that if I've been out of graft for months and haven't got any money and my horses are played out and there's no chance of another job, well, I'm going to humor him a bit more than I'd like to, ain't I?" Geisner laughed "You see it all right, Ned. Suppose the first man you sounded said no?" "I'd try another." "And if the other said no?"
And turning round from the book-case, an open book in his hand, was the ugly little man. Ned felt that this was Geisner. The ugly little man put down his book, and came forward holding out his hand. He smiled as he came. Ned was angered to see that when he smiled his face became wonderfully pleasant. "Yes; I think we know one another, Miss Lawton," he said, meeting them on the uncarpeted floor.
Stratton took his cigar from his mouth and quoted: "'I am the breath of the lute, I am the mind of man, Gold's glitter, the light of the diamond and the sea-pearl's lustre wan. I am both good and evil, the deed and the deed's intent Temptation, victim, sinner, crime, pardon and punishment." "Yes," said Geisner; "that and more. Brahma and more than Brahma. What Prince Buddha thought out too.
