"There is nothing more interesting than the way children join in hypnotizing themselves with the illusions which their parents think they have created without their help. In fact, it is very doubtful whether at any age we have any illusions except those of our own creation; we " "Let him go on, Wanhope," Minver dictated; and Newton continued. "It was rather nice.
Minver took his cigar out to ask, the more impressively, perhaps, "What do you fellows make of the terror that a two months' babe starts in its sleep with before it can have any notion of what fear is on its own hook?" "We don't make anything of it," the psychologist answered. "Perhaps the pathologists do." "Oh, it's easy enough to say wind," Rulledge indignantly protested.
Nothing can be more vital in the history of a man and a woman than how they became husband and wife, and yet not merely the details, but the main fact, would seem to escape record if not recollection. The next generation knows nothing of it." "That appears to let Acton out," Minver said. "But how do you know what you were saying, Wanhope?"
"Very strange," I was beginning, but just then the door opened and Mrs. Minver came in, and I was presented. She gave me a distracted hand, as she said to her husband: "Have you been telling the story about that picture again?" He was still holding it. "Silly!" She was a mighty pretty woman, but full of vim and fun and sense. "It's one of the most curious freaks of memory I ever heard of, Mrs.
Minver asked. Rulledge would not let Wanhope answer. "Go on, Halson," he said. Halson roused himself from the reverie in which he was sitting with glazed eyes. "Well, what made it a little more anxious was that he had heard of bears on that mountain, and the green afternoon light among the trees was perceptibly paling.
Halson looked up at the silent waiter who had stolen upon us and was bowing toward him. "Look here, Halson," Minver detained him, "how is it none of the rest of us have heard all those details?" "I don't know where you've been, Minver. Everybody knows the main facts," Halson said, escaping. Wanhope observed musingly: "I suppose he's quite right about the reciprocality of the offer, as we call it.
"I had the facts I'm going to give, from Mrs. Ormond. You know that the Ormonds left New York a couple of years ago?" He happened to look at Minver as he spoke, and Minver answered: "No; I must confess that I didn't even know they had left the planet." Wanhope ignored his irrelevant ignorance.
"All the same," Minver persisted, apparently in behalf of Rulledge, but with an after-grudge of his own, "you'll allow that you were thinking of something in particular when you began with that generalization about the lost art of personifying?" "Oh, that is very curious," said the psychologist. "We talk of generalizing, but is there any such thing?
I said: 'Oh, just one of those Sorrento things of his. You see, if I told her that it was the villa where we first met, and then said I had left it in the horse-car, she would take it as proof positive that I did not really care anything about her or I never could have forgotten it." "You were wise as far as you went," Minver said. "Go on."
It would be very interesting " "Excuse me!" said Minver. "There's Whitley. I must speak to him." He went away, leaving me alone with the psychologist. "And what is your own conclusion in this instance?" I asked. "Why, I haven't formulated it yet."
