After the waters had closed above my head for, perhaps, five minutes of strangled, half-protesting, half-willing surrender I was suddenly compelled, by what agency I know not, to struggle to the surface, to look around me, and then quite instantly to forget my immersion.
I'd like to owe you that; and it's a good thing for a man himself to be owed kindness. He remembers it when he gets older. It helps him to forgive himself more or less for what he's sorry for in life. I've enough in this bunch to pay for board and professional attendance, or else the price has gone up since I had a doctor before." He laughed now, and the laugh was half-ironical, half-protesting.
He cut short my half-protesting thanks, and calling the hostess bade her set another cover, whilst me he invited to share his supper. And as we ate he again urged upon me the advice that I should go abroad. "For by Heaven," he added, "Mazarin has been as a raging beast since the news was brought him yesterday of his nephew's marriage." "How?" I cried. "He has heard already?"
'For a time we were watched by two hostile aeroplanes; then our own came up and asked them not to, and the practice of aerial warfare still being unknown they very politely desisted and went away and did dives and circles of the most charming description over the Fox Hills.
