But Henley's sufferings are the key to Henley; much must be excused him, and there is much to be excused. The result was that while there was always a certain dainty equity about Stevenson's judgments, even when he was wrong, Henley seemed to think that on the right side the wronger you were the better.
Several of my other friends were equally fortunate. A large ship, homeward-bound, had lost her master, and Mr Henley being known favourably to the agents at Cape Town, he was appointed to take charge of her. Captain Armstrong, knowing that it was important that Alfred should return home, gave him leave to accompany me in Mr Henley's ship, the Susan.
I owed him much: the charm of the personality of "this delightful and wonderful creature" in Henley's words of him, pleasure from his talk, stimulus from his criticism, and I wish I had had the common sense to do what I could to make him live as a pleasure and a stimulus to others. My mistake on our Thursday nights was to keep my cuff clean, my note-book empty.
Seemed like the girl wanted to shut that talk off, for she told 'em several times to be quiet and to remember what they had promised her." "Women are all hard to understand." There was a knowing twinkle in Henley's eyes, which he averted from Long's anxious gaze. "I reckon Dixie thought you ought to get acquainted with the family if you and her are to come to any permanent understanding."
Mr Waller did not at once go to his cabin, so I forthwith went to Mr Henley's. I found him sitting up reading. I told him briefly all that had occurred, and assured him that I could not have been deceived. "I believe you completely," he answered. "We must be cautious. We may easily put the ruffians down, but I would avoid bloodshed.
"I thought you might need my assistance," he said quietly; and then without appearing to notice Henley's astonishment, led the way to his room. When Paul found himself alone, he became conscious of a growing curiosity concerning the stairs in the closet. He opened the door and looked in, and then quietly lifted the scuttle by the ring.
That man" Wrinkle swallowed as he pointed the prongs of his fork at the crayon portrait of Henley's predecessor, which, with shaggy mustache and partially bald pate, in a new oaken frame, hung near the clock "that man was a Bryant supporter from the minute the sixteen-to-one proposition electrocuted the world to the day of his death." "Electrofied," corrected Mrs. Henley.
As I recall those stimulating days, the prevailing attitude of the artist in his studio, the author at his desk, the critic at his task, was that of Henley's Man in the Street: Hands in your pockets, eyes on the pavement, Where in the world is the fun of it all? But a row but a rush but a face for your fist. Then a crash through the dark and a fall.
He had left it ostensibly in Henley's hands, but the latter, reading the manuscript again with intense care, saw that matters had been so contrived that the knot of the novel could only be cut by murder. As it had been written, the man must inevitably murder the woman. And Andrew?
