But the storm raised could not be quieted. Isbister obtained new evidence and attacked the validity of the Company's Charter. Lord Elgin, the fair-minded Governor of Canada, claimed that he, in Canada, was too far away from the scene of dispute to give an authoritative answer, but on the whole he favored the Company.
"It will be a pity to lose his surprise. There's been a lot of change these twenty years. It's Rip Van Winkle come real." "It's Bellamy," said Warming. "There has been a lot of change certainly. And, among other changes, I have changed. I am an old man." Isbister hesitated, and then feigned a belated surprise. "I shouldn't have thought it."
"And while he has been lying here," said Isbister, with the zest of a life freely spent, "I have changed my plans in life; married, raised a family, my eldest lad I hadn't begun to think of sons then is an American citizen, and looking forward to leaving Harvard. There's a touch of grey in my hair. It's curious to think of." Warming turned. "And I have grown old too.
He seemed even grateful, and when presently Isbister, feeling that his unsupported talk was losing vigour, suggested that they should reascend the steep and return towards Boscastle, alleging the view into Blackapit, he submitted quietly. Halfway up he began talking to himself, and abruptly turned a ghastly face on his helper. "What can be happening?" he asked with a gaunt illustrative hand.
"I doubt if he will wake," he said at last. "I never properly understood," said Isbister, "what it was brought this on. He told me something about overstudy. I've often been curious." "He was a man of considerable gifts, but spasmodic, emotional. He had grave domestic troubles, divorced his wife, in fact, and it was as a relief from that, I think, that he took up politics of the rabid sort.
He grimaced hysterically and covered up his face again. After a space he grew calm. He sat up, his hands hanging over his knees in almost precisely the same attitude in which Isbister had found him on the cliff at Pentargen. His attention was attracted by a thick domineering voice, the footsteps of an advancing personage. "What are you doing? Why was I not warned? Surely you could tell?
For six long days, since my work was done, my mind has been a whirlpool, swift, unprogressive and incessant, a torrent of thoughts leading nowhere, spinning round swift and steady " He paused. "Towards the gulf." "You must sleep," said Isbister decisively, and with an air of a remedy discovered. "Certainly you must sleep." "My mind is perfectly lucid. It was never clearer.
He knew that quite well! And plump! a man in the United States, who had lost two sons in a boat accident, followed that up with another great bequest. His trustees found themselves with a dozen myriads of lions'-worth or more of property at the very beginning." "What was his name?" "Graham." "No, I mean that American's." "Isbister." "Isbister!" cried Graham. "Why, I don't even know the name."
If in no other way at the foot of yonder dark precipice there, where the waves are green, and the white surge lifts and falls, and that little thread of water trembles down. There at any rate is ... sleep." "That's unreasonable," said Isbister, startled at the man's hysterical gust of emotion. "Drugs are better than that." "There at any rate is sleep," repeated the stranger, not heeding him.
"And while he has been lying here," said Isbister, with the zest of a life freely spent, "I have changed my plans in life; married, raised a family, my eldest lad I hadn't begun to think of sons then is an American citizen, and looking forward to leaving Harvard. There's a touch of grey in my hair. It's curious to think of." Warming turned. "And I have grown old too.
