I remember perfectly everything that Jevons said to me that night. I am putting it all down so that it may be clear that what the Thesigers called the beauty of my behaviour was nothing to the beauty of his. Think of him, shut up there in his hotel in Bruges, giving me my innings, when he could have struck in and won the game without waiting those horrible ten days.
Men reasoned before there was a science of logic, and the sciences made their appearance before what may be called the logic of the sciences had its birth. "It may be truly asserted," writes Professor Jevons, "that the rapid progress of the physical sciences during the last three centuries has not been accompanied by a corresponding advance in the theory of reasoning.
Jevons, "as to advocate the ultimate complete exclusion of mothers of children under the age of three years from factories and workshops;" and his conviction voiced that of every examiner into the situation as it stood at that time.
Only, as Jevons judged himself at every stage with accuracy, he hadn't begun to take himself at all seriously yet. So he arrived in a perfect simplicity, without any of that rather dubious aplomb with which he tried to carry off his celebrity when it really came. It was very nasty for him.
"Be patient, and I will show you." The Seven Secrets, each distinct from each other and yet connected; each one in itself a complete enigma, formed a problem of which even Ambler Jevons himself could not discover the solution.
For example, the earth is relatively isolated as regards falling bodies, but not as regards tides; it is practically isolated as regards economic phenomena, although, if Jevons' sunspot theory of commercial crises had been true, it would not have been even practically isolated in this respect. It will be observed that we cannot prove in advance that a system is isolated.
And Norah would come back again and put her head round the door and look at him where he knelt on the floor absurdly, tucking in blankets and breathing hard as he tucked. And she would say, "Look at him. Isn't he sweet?" as if Jevons had been a rabbit or a guinea-pig, and go away again.
"Not," I said, "if she marries me." He said, "My dear boy, supposing supposing it isn't all as innocent as you think? You can't marry her." I said that made no difference. It was all the more reason. All the more reason, he insisted, for her marrying Jevons. That, he said, was what they'd have to go into. But there I took a high stand.
What was the sense, said Kendal, with his mouth full, of going to Selham when we hadn't got a wire? The sense of it, Norah told him, was that we had a message an important message for Mrs. Jevons, which she must get before she started. At this Kendal left off munching and looked at my wife. Even in my eagerness I was struck by the singular intelligence of that look. There was nothing covert in it.
We shall never get him out of the house." "I don't want to get him out of the house," said Jevons. "I'm awfully happy with him." He said be had never slept under a bed-tester in his life, and he was dying to know what it would be like to lie there with hundreds of dear little, shy little chintz rosebuds squinting down at you. "You'll not lay under them rosebuds, not for a twenty-four hour "
