"Ah, well, insanity is only one of the many forms of being abnormal. Yes, I think it proves that all abnormal people ought to be restrained. Perhaps it proves that they are very potently restrained," said Philip Borsdale, perversely. Perversely, Sir Thomas always steadfastly protested, because he said that to believe in Herrick's sanity was not conducive to your own.
The soup strengthened and quieted Herrick's nerves; another glass of wine, and a piece of pickled pork and fried banana completed what the soup began; and he was able once more to look the captain in the face. 'I didn't know I was so much run down, he said. 'Well, said Davis, 'you were as steady as a rock all day: now you've had a little lunch, you'll be as steady as a rock again.
He published editions of The Faithful Shepherdess, The Knight of the Burning Pestle and The Two Noble Kinsmen in 1897, and an elaborately critical edition of Herrick's Poems, in completion of his Study, in 1915. He also contributed the chapter on "Shakespeare's Apocrypha" to the Cambridge History of English Literature; and for many years acted as English editor of the Shakespeare Jahrbuch.
The introduction of Herrick's name puzzled him considerably; and although he frowned at Toni's description of Miss Loder, he realized that by some means Toni had been made unhappy over her own position as his wife. "See here, Toni, I don't quite understand." He looked at her keenly. "Who says you are ignorant and all the rest? And what on earth has Herrick to do with our affairs?"
He knew something of the law of the survival of the fittest, for he himself had survived the long struggle for honors which had put him at last in a position where he felt secure at least from the pinch of poverty, and whatever Oliver Herrick's failings among the larger forces with which he had been brought into contact, Markham knew him to have been an honest man, a good father and a faithful gentleman.
And in his face, as he gazed before him, seeing, perhaps the troubled past, perhaps the darkened future, there was now no trace of youth, only a great and weary disillusionment. After all, Jim Herrick's introduction to Mrs. Rose came about in an unexpected fashion. Although he had only seen her two or three times, Herrick felt a decided interest in Rose's young wife.
"Back of that range and across the mesa is where Herrick's place is," said Scott, as they drew rein and waited for Hard to come along. Polly gazed in silence. It was the first view she had had of the wilder part of the country and it thrilled her. Hard came up with them. "Don't you think we'd better make a little speed when we hit the level?" he said.
Herrick's big heart, which in spite of his life's tragedy held still an infinite compassion for all weak and helpless things, was wrung with pity for this poor little creature, whose eyes had been opened so cruelly to the fact that life was not all an enchanted fairyland; and when he spoke his deep voice was very gentle. "See here, little lady, you mustn't take all this to heart.
Malcolm had determined not to disappoint his mother that evening, so he banished all thoughts of his friends from his mind, and a few minutes later he was showing people to their seats and chatting pleasantly with his acquaintances. Now and then, in the midst of her duties as a hostess, Mrs. Herrick's eyes rested on her son's dark face with motherly pride and tenderness.
"I say, Jim" he was looking down at the floor as he spoke "I hadn't forgotten, but I didn't like to say much. How ... how is she?" "My wife, you mean?" Herrick's smile was bitter. "She is pretty well, I believe. They say her health has improved lately." "I'm glad. And forgive me if I'm tactless, Jim, but when do you expect her back?" "When does she come out?"
