Ward uttered an exclamation none the less violent because it was half- suppressed, while, for my part, I laughed outright; and as Keredec turned his eyes questioningly upon me, I said: "Professor Keredec, you'd better understand at once that I mean to help undo the harm you've done.
He lifted his hand as if in appeal, and let it drop to his side; and in the action, as well as in the tone of his voice and his attitude of contrition, there was something that reached me suddenly, with the touch of pathos. "Never mind," I said. "I am only sorry that it was the truth." "Thank you," he said, and turned humbly to Keredec.
I went with reluctance, but there was no choice. Keredec had sent for me. ... When I was about fifteen, a boy cousin of mine, several years younger, terribly injured himself on the Fourth of July; and I sat all night in the room with him, helping his mother.
Keredec had told his tragic ward too little. The latter had understood but vaguely the nature of the catastrophe which overhung his return to France, and now that it was indeed concrete and definite, the guardian was forced into fuller disclosures, every word making the anguish of the listener more intolerable.
Yet all spirit is only one spirit and one spirit is all spirit and if you tell me this is Pant'eism I will tell you that you do not understand!" "I don't tell you that," said I, "neither do I understand." "Nor that big Keredec either!" Whereupon he loosed the rolling thunder of his laughter. "Nor any brain born of the monkey people!
No doubt the most absurd thing I could have done after the departure of Professor Keredec and his singular friend would have been to settle myself before my canvas again with the intention of painting and that is what I did. At least, I resumed my camp-stool and went through some of the motions habitually connected with the act of painting.
You may put it: much the old fool! And for that greates' restoration of all I have brought my boy back to France; since it was necessary. It was a madness, and I thank the good God I was mad enough to do it. I cannot tell you yet, my dear sir: but you shall see, you shall see what the folly of that old Keredec has done!
