But he has made me a pitiful modern again, a woman who has tried and refuses to try longer, to be happy with clay dolls. And Mary McCullom " "Is submerged in tea past resuscitation.... That modern madness will pass, too, dear. 'Member how those Italian giants used to have periods of madness while they decorated the everlasting cathedrals?
"Beth," Vina said solemnly, "I believe there is meaning in that, too. The beauty and simplicity of that Sacrifice has been husked in dogmas for centuries, and we here have not torn them all away. "But, Vina, how could these things of pure religious fervor and beauty bring about that other rebellion of yours the Mary McCullom one?"
Tell me all about it, if it will help." "Beth, please don't talk about pure spirit, meaning me. I used to be able to stand it, but not any more. The Grey One does that. I seem to suggest it to flesh and blood people.... I'm sure he didn't see me so. He looked at me, as if to say, oh, I don't know what!... I wish I were fish-cold! I'm all overturned.... I just met Mary McCullom on the way over."
But Sergeant-major McCullom had seen his little fish slip through his fingers and I was now introduced to one of the meaner, petty characters that the army had seen fit to elevate. I was ordered to blanco my equipment immediately in the approved khaki colour and had to treat my gas mask cover with the mandated blanco, Pickering's khaki-green No.3.
No modern man could come into your studio and break your work for long, Vina. You know we promised each other that none could." Beth shivered at her memory. Vina had made her forget for a moment. "But we said in our haste then, that all men were just natives " "Many wise women say so at their leisure " "But Mary McCullom " "Taboo "
"I've just received word from Mary McCullom," she said. "She's in Union Hospital I don't know but I must hurry. The word said that Mary McCullom wanted me nothing more. That was her maiden-name. I knew her so. Her husband died recently, but I didn't hear in time to find her. She must have left New York for a time. They were so happy.... I'm afraid " David went to her.
Vina covered her face, but made no sound. "She will take the little one," said the voice above them. Both women turned their eyes to Bedient. Mary McCullom smiled shyly. "I remember David Cairns," she said, in an awed tone. "This is not " "No, dear, but it is enough. I will take your baby."
"No, you mustn't go with me, David. There are too many things to do for to-night " "Let me go, Vina," Bedient said. In the cab, she told him the story of Mary McCullom's failure as an artist and conquest as a woman the same story she had told Beth Truba and what meant the love of the nurseryman to Mary McCullom. Vina's voice had a strange sound in the shut cab.
Beth had forgotten the name for the moment. She thought Vina was about to tell her of Bedient. "Don't you remember Mary McCullom, who tried painting for awhile, painted one after another, discolored and shapeless children, wholly bereft and unfortunate children?" "Oh, yes," said Beth. "I heard she had married "
