"The curious fact about it all, Miss Keltridge, is that our beliefs never take half the hold on us that our doubts do. My inherited notions of original sin and a violent conversion never by any chance could have upset my worldly advancement.
Despite her consternation, Olive laughed. "Can't you make him stop it, Ramsdell?" "Impossible, Miss Keltridge. When it comes to that I'm nothing but another man. What Mr. Hopdyke needs now is a woman to manage 'im and cocker 'im up a bit. In spite of all his work and that, he's away off on 'is nerve." "How does he show it, Ramsdell?"
As a natural result, Katharine forgot the needs of the child and sought the healing contact of the All-Mind upon her own account, while the nurse, drying her tears in haste, seized the child in one arm, the opportunity in the other, and administered the simple remedies she always kept on hand. Brenton, meanwhile, sought Doctor Keltridge.
Knowing Brenton, it seemed incredible to the doctor that he could have been so supinely idiotic as to have allowed himself, against his will, to be gobbled up by Kathryn for it was thus that Doctor Eustace Keltridge diagnosed their entrance into matrimony. However, the doctor lacked some knowledge of the determining factors in the case.
You must have suffered, in this whole thing, a great deal more than any of us know." For an instant, his gray eyes deepened, burned. He started to hold out his hand to hers; then he checked the gesture. "I have. It's not an easy thing to do, Miss Keltridge, the sliding out of a concrete and detailed theology into a something that at best is " She cut off his final word. "I know.
And for him! That any man in his position and with his outlook could harbour for an instant an idea so selfish! And even Olive However, this time, Ramsdell did not hear. Doctor Keltridge smoked for a while in silence. Then, "Opdyke is hunting for a new assistant," he said. Brenton, who had been sitting with his eyes fastened to the rug before him, looked up at the doctor.
"Oh, he wouldn't be shy with me, Miss Keltridge. Remember, I'm quite an old married woman now; there's no reason he should feel at all Besides, he sees you," she added, her voice sharpening with the sudden recollection. Olive laughed. "Me? Oh, I'm totally amorphous, Mrs. Brenton, a mere lump of old associations. It's good for Mr. Opdyke to have somebody to giggle with occasionally."
However, it was plain that, with Kathryn and her husband, the least of all had become the most, and that, too, at an epoch when, if ever, Kathryn needed to take the very greatest care to fix upon herself the seal of lifelong and admiring devotion. Of course, there might be such a thing as a devotion void of any admiration. Olive Keltridge, however, was not a woman to accept that sort of thing.
"Really, I am so penitent at the message I am bringing you. The maid told me you were here. Then, after a while, she came back again and told me she couldn't find my father anywhere." With a courteous little gesture, Brenton interrupted her apology and half rose from his chair. "Really, it's not at all a matter for apology, Miss Keltridge. I can come again, some other day.
"I'm not the medical examiner, Dennison; I'm not obliged to say what I think about it," he returned. Dolph sat up and faced his friend. "I am, then. Opdyke, if it hadn't been a case of his own rector's family, Doctor Keltridge would have carried the matter to the courts." "Did Olive tell you?" "Olive doesn't tell things of that sort," Dolph said conclusively. "She's her father's own child."
