I know I've been both in the same day. It's better to be both, I believe, if you can keep one under the other, but you must keep it under " Maradick talked on. He saw that the boy's nerves were jumping, that he was holding himself in with the greatest difficulty. Peter said: "You don't know, Maradick.
I think it knows that she's frightened of it. Yes, Peter is quite riotously happy. You know that 'The Stone House' is coming out next week. There is to be a supper party at the Galleons' myself, Mrs. Launce. Maradick, the Gales, some woman he knew at that boarding-house, Cardillac and Dr. and Mrs. Rossiter. "By the way, Cardillac is there a great deal and I am both glad and sorry.
A man took him by the arm and led up a dark side street. He turned his eyes and saw that the man was Maradick. The elder man felt that the boy was trembling from head to foot. "What's the matter, Westcott? Anything I can do for you?" Peter seemed to take him in slowly, and then, with a great effort, to pull himself together. "What, you Maradick?
To-night, with his almost cynical observance of the emotions and excitement that surged about him, he seemed to Peter the one man possible in the whole gathering. "Look here, Maradick, let's get somewhere out of this crush and have a cigarette." People were all pouring into supper now and Peter saw his wife in the distance, on Bobby Galleon's arm.
It's better that the beast under you should be a Lion rather than a Donkey, but let it once fling you off its back and you're done for. And Maradick had said these things! Maradick whom once Peter had considered the dullest of his acquaintances. Well, one never knew about people most of the Stay-at-homes were Explorers and vice versa, if one only understood them. How still the house was!
It was rumoured that he had once been in love with Alice Galleon when she had been Alice du Cane and that they had nearly made a match of it; but he was certainly now married to a charming girl whom he had seen in Cornwall and the two young things were considered delightful by the whole of Chelsea. Tony Gale had with him a man called James Maradick whom Peter had met before and liked.
Many people thought him dull, but Peter liked him partly because of his reserve and partly because of his enthusiasm for Cornwall. Cornwall seemed to be the only subject that could stir Maradick into excitement, and when Cornwall was under discussion the whole man woke into sudden stir and emotion.
Ride your scruples, man ride 'em, drive 'em send 'em scuttling. Believe in yourself and stick to it Courage!..." Maradick pulled himself in. They were driving now, down the King's Road. The people were pouring in a thick, buzzing crowd, out of the Chelsea Palace. Middle-aged stockbrokers in hansom cabs talking like the third act of a problem play! but Maradick had done his work.
That is the kind of story that intrigues me, whether it be written about out-side mysteries by Wilkie Collins or inside mysteries by the great creator of "The Golden Bowl" or mysteries of both kinds, such as Henry Galleon has given us. I remember a friend of mine, James Maradick, once saying to me, "It's no use trying to keep out of things. As soon as they want to put you in you're in.
Maradick was so reserved a fellow and took so few into his confidence also he would, in all probability, be ashamed to-morrow of having spoken at all. But to Peter at that moment the world about him was fantastic and unreal. It seemed to him that at certain periods in his life he was suddenly confronted with a fellow creature who perceived life as he perceived it.
