Yours sincerely, Aaron King. That evening, the two men talked over their proposed trip, and laid their plans to start without delay As Conrad Lagrange put it they would lose themselves in the hills; with no definite destination in view; and no set date for their return.
LaGrange, who had tried, as on previous occasions, to coerce me by threats into a private marriage and a public recognition of her as my wife and of her child and mine; and, in addition, the occurrences of the day had been of a nature to recall the past, and events which I usually sought to bury in oblivion were passing before my mental vision despite my efforts to banish them.
Our colleague had almost forgotten that it is not allotted to any person to conduct a scientific question to a definitive termination, and that the important labours of D'Alembert, Clairaut, Euler, Lagrange, and Laplace, while immortalizing their authors, have continually added new lustre to the imperishable glory of Newton. Let us act so that this example may not be lost.
Westlake," responded the other, in deep, musical tones, "I think possibly I can render you a little assistance in your investigations." "Mr. Higgenbotham, do you recognize the young gentleman who has just given his testimony?" "I do, sir," said the witness, adjusting a pair of eyeglasses and gazing steadily at Walter LaGrange. "I recall his features perfectly."
It was nearly two months after Conrad Lagrange had introduced the young man at the house on Fairlands Heights. The hour was late. The painter returning from a dinner and an evening at the Taine home found the novelist, with pipe and dog, in a deserted corner of the hotel veranda.
Walter LaGrange leave his mother's room in great haste and go down-stairs, and a little later, from one of the upper windows, saw him riding away from the stables in the direction of the south gate. But one servant remained, "Uncle Mose," as he was familiarly called, the old colored man having charge of the grounds at Fair Oaks.
You undoubtedly have the power of which you boast, Mrs. Taine, but " "But what?" she said triumphantly. "You think I will hesitate to use my influence?" "I know you will not use it in this case," came the unexpected answer. She laughed mockingly, "And why not? What will prevent?" "The one thing on earth, that you fear, madam" answered Conrad Lagrange "the eyes of the world."
Sometimes the important result was first reached by Lagrange, sometimes it was Laplace who had the good fortune to make the discovery. It would doubtless be a difficult matter to draw the line which should exactly separate the contributions to astronomy made by one of these illustrious mathematicians, and the contributions made by the other.
If he had said anything about it, at all, Conrad Lagrange, likely, would have accounted for his interest, upon the ground that his dog, Czar, found the companionship agreeable. Their friendship, meanwhile in the eyes of the world conferred a peculiar distinction upon the young man a distinction not at all displeasing to the ambitious artist; and the value of which he, probably, overrated.
Immediately upon returning to the hotel, Harold Mainwaring had communicated to the English attorney and to Mr. Scott the particulars of his interview with Mrs. LaGrange. Mr. Scott at once expressed his satisfaction at the outcome, in that she had rejected all offers of assistance except upon her own terms.
