"Perhaps I was. Didn't you hear anything, Herbert?" "I sleep pretty sound," said Herbert, quietly. Abner Holden watched him as he said this, and was evidently more perplexed than ever. But that was the last visit he paid to the garret at night. It would be hard to tell what Abner Holden's precise occupation was.
Then, in that oddly irrational corner of his brain that neither knowledge nor information had been adequate to rationalize nor had experience arrived to supply the explanation, James Holden's limited but growing comprehension arrived at a conclusion that was reasonable within its limited framework. Judge Carter and his wife occupied separate bedrooms and had therefore never Done It.
With daylight clarity he knew what he had to do. In a single act of destruction he could simultaneously foil Paul Brennan's plan and ensure his own life. Permanently installed in Jimmy Holden's brain by the machine itself were the full details of how to recreate it. Indelibly he knew each wire and link, lever and coil, section by section and piece by piece.
James Holden's eyes widened, and he started to say something but the judge held up his hand, fingers outspread, and began to tick off his points finger by finger as he went on: "Where would we be in the case of enemy attack? Could our policemen aim their guns at a vicious criminal if they were conditioned against killing? Could our butchers operate; must our housewives live among a horde of flies?
Thence to see the Doctor at his lodging at Mr. Holden's, where I bought a hat, cost me 35s. So home by moonshine, and by the way was overtaken by the Comptroller's coach, and so home to his house with him. So home and to bed. This noon I had my press set up in my chamber for papers to be put in. 29th. Mr. Moore making up accounts with me all this morning till Lieut.
And so selflessly and insensibly were the riches of his mind and nature communicated to the community that innocent little Concord could not quite help believing that its wealth and renown were somehow a creation of its own. The loafers in Walcott & Holden's grocery store were, in their own estimation, of heroic stature, because of the unegoistic citizen who dwelt over yonder among the pines.
Arnold questioned in a whisper, and, with the question, the explanation seemed to flash into Holden's mind like a flame of fire. "Thunder-maker!" he exclaimed. "The treacherous hound! This is his work. I was wakened by something before. He must have been letting loose his vile creatures."
"Yes, and I'm glad to get home. Do you know how to unharness a horse?" "Yes, sir." "Then jump out and unharness this horse. A man will come for it to- morrow." Herbert did as directed. Then he took his little trunk from the wagon, and went with it to the back door and knocked. The door was opened by an elderly woman, rather stout, who acted as Abner Holden's housekeeper.
The Comptroller and I landed with our barge at the Temple, and from thence I went to my father's, and there did give order about some clothes to be made, and did buy a new hat, cost between 20 and 30 shillings, at Mr. Holden's. So home. 22nd.
It was not accomplished without love or passion. Love had come quietly, locking them together physically as they had been bonded intellectually. The passion had been deliberately provoked during the proper moment of Laura Holden's cycle of ovulation.
