That's a pity!" said Gwent "Men are curious monsters in their love-appetites; they always refuse the offered dish and ask for something that isn't in the bill of fare. You should have pretended to hate him!" "I could not pretend THAT!" said Manella, sadly "But if I could, it would not matter. He does not want a woman." "Oh, doesn't he?" Gwent was amused at her quaint way of putting it.
Southwards we look over hills of coal and iron to the pleasant sea- fringed plain of Gwent. On the north and the west the sea is shallow; in some places it is under 10 fathoms for 10 miles from the shore, and under 20 fathoms for 20 miles. Tales of drowned lands are told of the sands of Lavan, of the feast of drunken Seithenyn, and of the bells of Aberdovey. But the sea is a kind neighbour.
I'm afraid you think too much of him, Miss Miss er " "Soriso," finished Manella, gently "Manella Soriso." "Thank you!" and Gwent sought for a helpful cigar which he lit "You have a very charming name! Yes believe me, you think too much of him!" "You say that? But are you not his friend?" Her tone was reproachful. But Gwent was now nearly his normal business self again.
What would she know of "inventors" and "thinkers with new ideas"? A trifle embarrassed, he looked at her. She nodded her dark head and smiled. "I know!" she said "He is a god!" Sam Gwent almost jumped. A god! Oh, these women! Of what fantastic exaggerations they are capable! "A god!" she repeated, nodding again, complacently; "He can do anything! I feel that all the time.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, that's all popcorn! Morgana is not a scientist, she's hardly a student. She just 'imagines' she can do things. But she can't." "Well! I'm not so sure!" and Gwent looked ruminative "She's got a smart way of settling problems while the rest of us are talking about them."
And wherever hindrance comes in we are bound to remove and destroy it!" The last ash of Gwent's cigar fell to the floor, and Gwent himself rose from his chair. "Well, I suppose we've had our talk out" he said; "I came here prepared to offer you a considerable sum for your discovery but I can't go so far as a Government pledge. So I must leave you to it.
All through the ages God has been mocked; all through the ages Divine vengeance has fallen on the mockers and the mockery. "And after all," thought Gwent "wars are as necessary as plagues to clear out a superabundant population, only most unfortunately Nature adopts such recklessness in her methods that it most often happens the best among us are taken, and the worst left.
I asked them questions until they began to puzzle themselves to answer them, and now I believe all Gwent is divided between two opinions as to their fate one, that they are roaming the country, the other that lord Herbert, as they still call him, has by his magic conveyed them away to Ireland to assist him in a general massacre of the Protestants.
"I think I follow you" said Gwent, slowly "But now, as regards this Supreme Intelligence, I suppose you will admit that the plan of creation is a dual sort of scheme that is to say 'male and female created He them'?" "Why, of course!" and Seaton smiled "The question is superfluous!" "I asked it," went on Gwent "because you seem to eliminate the female element from your life altogether.
The Lord Christ said it two thousand years ago, and it's true to-day! We haven't improved!" With an impatient movement, Seaton strode to the door of his hut and looked out at the wide sky, then turned back again. Gwent watched him critically. "After all," he said, "It isn't as if you wanted anything of anybody. Money is no object of yours.
