Would he ever hear her laugh like that again? How would he ever find courage to tell her? There was little need just then of Holroyd's prohibition. He went down to the hotel steps to the little open space where the two streets unite, and where the oil lamp suspended above by cords dropped a shadow like a huge spider on the pale patch of lighted ground below.
Caffyn stood looking after the carriage as it drove away with them; he had quite lost his bearings: the paper in Holroyd's hand, Mark's own behaviour in so many instances, Vincent's rapid pursuit, had all seemed to point so clearly to one conclusion yet what was he to think now?
He read nothing until a paragraph, copied from a London literary paper, caught his eye. 'We understand, the paragraph ran, 'that the new novel by the author of "Illusion," Mr. Now it only struck him with terror. Was it in Holroyd's paper too? Suppose he asked to look at Mark's, and saw it there, and questioned him, as of course he would! What should he say?
'What a very long time you have been away! she said; 'but I know Vincent can be very pleasant and interesting if he likes. 'Very, said Mark, and gave her Holroyd's note. 'I leave here early to-morrow for Italy, she read, 'and may not see you again for some little time. I have told your husband my story, but, on consideration, have thought it best to pledge him to tell no one not even you.
Somehow, at the mention of the doctor, Holroyd's allusions to his illness recurred to Mark's mind, and hopes he dared not confess even to himself, so base and vile were they, rose in his heart. 'Here's the doctor; clean bill of health, eh, doctor? asked the agent and Mark held his breath for the answer. 'All well on board. 'Tumble in, then; and there was an instant rush across the gangway.
And as I was one of the first persons to verify what has long been a theory among scientists, and, moreover, as the result of Professor Holroyd's discovery is to be placed on exhibition in Madison Square Garden on the 20th of next month, I have decided to tell you, as simply as I am able, exactly what occurred.
After that, in the breathing-times of his labour it was heavy labour, being not only his own, but most of Holroyd's Azuma-zi would sit and watch the big machine. Now and then the brushes would sparkle and spit blue flashes, at which Holroyd would swear, but all the rest was as smooth and rhythmic as breathing.
Holroyd's manner was less harsh and contemptuous when he next spoke: 'It's no use, Ashburn, he said firmly; 'it's too late for all that now you must accept it! 'I shall not, said Mark again. 'I've been a scoundrel, I know, but I'll be one no longer; I'll tell the truth and give you back your own. I will do what's right at last! 'Not in that way, said Vincent; 'I forbid it.
There were rough drafts of Latin and Greek verses, outlines for essays, and hasty jottings of University and Temple lectures memorials of Holroyd's undergraduate and law-student days.
If he took money for another man's work, there was a name, and a very ugly name, for that. But he would not keep it. As soon as he learnt the names of Holroyd's legal representatives, whoever they might be, he would pay the money over to them without mentioning the exact manner in which it had become due.
