'He made a tactful reference oh, very slight and tentative to the data he had collected for the Scheme, but the other either did not hear it, or did not wish to hear it. He brushed it aside, speaking through clouds of tobacco smoke. Minks enjoyed a bigger, braver puff at his own. Excitement grew in him. 'Just the kind of place you would have loved, Minks, Rogers went on with zeal.
John Henry Campden, the author and discoverer of them all, Minks did not see. 'But I don't see the writer himself! he cried. 'I don't see Mr. Campden. 'You can't, explained Rogers, 'he's standing behind his wife. And the little detail pleased the secretary hugely. The true artist, he reflected, is never seen in his work. It all was past and over in thirty seconds.
It had to do with a vision of great things that had come to a little insignificant woman on a bed of sickness. He recognised the teller because he knew the tale of old. The woman, he remembered, was Albinia's grandmother, and Minks was very proud of it. 'That's a very nice story, rippled from the dim corner when it was over. 'For I like everything so tiny that you can find it inside a shell.
'My thoughts and longings, awakened that night in the little Crayfield garden, he summed it up to himself, having read the Report so far, 'went forth upon their journey of realisation. I projected them according to Minks vividly enough for that! I thought Beauty and this glorious result materialised!
Rogers; exactly so. Minks contrived to make the impatience in his voice sound like appreciation of his master's quickness. 'Distance no obstacle either, he repeated, as though fond of the phrase.

His master's emotion had communicated itself to him. A breath of that ecstasy he had already divined passed through the air between them. 'It's what the Contemplative Orders attempt he continued, yet half to himself, as though a little bemused. 'Out, by George! Out! Rogers said again.
