Only we shall not be able to quarry any further, and there is pain in looking on what cannot go on." "It may be a special pleasure," returned Ian, "in those new conditions, to look into such a changeless cabinet of the past. When we are one with our life, so that no prayer can be denied, there will be no end to the lovely possibilities."
Another night Ian Belward gave a dinner, at which were present an actress, a singer of some repute, the American journalist, and others. Something that was said sent Gaston's mind to the House of Commons. Presently he saw himself in a ridiculous picture: a buffalo dragging the Treasury Bench about the Chamber; as one conjures things in an absurd dream.
Spanish travel was difficult at best Spanish travel with scarcely any gold to travel on found the "best" quite winnowed out. Slow at all times, it grew, lacking money, to be like one of those dreams of retardation. Ian gathered and blew upon his philosophy, and took matters at last with some amusement, at times, even, with a sense of the enjoyable. He was not quite penniless.
'It sounds like the noise of Ian, the soldier's son, said he; 'but as yet he is only sixteen years old. Still, I had better look to it. And home he came. 'Are you Ian, the soldier's son? he asked, as he entered the castle. 'No, of a surety, answered the youth, who had no wish that they should know him.
To-day we have been unpacking, and settling down into rather comfortable, very expensive rooms. My little box of a place costs twenty-six shillings a night. We lunched with two Russian officers and Mr. Ian Malcolm, and then I went to the British Embassy, where the other two joined me. Sir George Buchanan, our Ambassador, looks overworked and tired. Lady Georgina and I got on well together....
And the king was well pleased, and at the end of a month he sent for Ian and said to him: 'You have given me faithful service, and now I will entrust you with the most precious thing that my kingdom holds. And when he had spoken, he led Ian Direach to the stable where stood the bay colt.
I can be of use out there, too. I suppose you think I'm useless because I've never had to do anything, but you are quite wrong. It's in me. If I'd been driven to work when I was a girl, if I'd been a labourer's daughter, I'd have made hats or cream-cheeses. I'm not really such a fool as you've always thought me, Ian; at any rate, not in the way you've thought me."
"But I want to know what you mean by her having her revenge on you?" said Alister. "Whether I loved her then or not, and I believe I did, beyond a doubt I love her now. It needed only to be out of sight of her, and see other women beside the memory of her, to know that I loved her. Alister, I LOVE HER!" repeated Ian with a strange exaltation. "Oh, Ian!" groaned Alister; "how terrible for you!"
But Ian only answered: 'I myself will put her in and will see to her. And thus he did.
The children wept. Christina bade her sister good-bye with a hopeless, almost envious look: Mercy, who did not love him, would see Ian! She who would give her soul for him was never to look on him again in this world! Kissing Mercy once more, she choked down a sob, and whispered, "Give my love no, my heart, to Ian, and tell him I AM trying."
