I forget it 'bee and clover, you know; to be the 'red slayer' and 'the slain' both. Do you wonder I want to keep this?" A feeling of helplessness and hopelessness came over Helen. Only half consciously she spoke a thought aloud: "You are half mad from introspection." He turned upon her a quizzical smile. "I dare say," said he. "It isn't a comfortable process either.
Scott Brenton was not much more given to introspection, at that epoch of his life, than is any other healthy youngster of nineteen. None the less, he slept curiously little, that night.
