"I came up to tell you that he has ... it has made him quite sick, though!" "Poor Mubby!" Hildreth ejaculated. " but he has sent me to tell you that you can go away together wherever you please, that he won't molest you in the least." "It's too incredible!" cried Hildreth, almost disappointed, "you don't know him ... he's changed his mind, I am sure, since you left." "Does mother suspect?
"'Hildreth, for God's sake! Mubby called, 'what's the matter now? in that bland, exasperating tone of his, that injured, self-righteous, I'm-sacrificing-myself-for-mankind tone " I had to laugh at her exact mimicry.... I stroked her hair.... "I'm glad you came to Eden, John Gregory. You might be a poet, but you have some human sense in you, too....
I thanked God that nothing trivial was in my heart to mar the stupendousness of my love, my first real passion for a woman! "Johnnie!" I leaped alert. It was Hildreth, at my tent door.... "Get up, you lazy boy ... surely you haven't been sleeping all this time?" "No, darling." "I ate my breakfast all alone," she remarked, in an aggrieved tone, "where's Darrie and Mubby and Ruth?" "God knows!
"Let's us take a walk," she suggested. "No, I must go to my tent and write!" "Oh, come now ... don't you be like Mubby!... that's the way he talks." "All right," I assented, amazed at her directness, "I'll put my work by for the day though the entire dialogue of the three Galilean fishermen about the miracle of the great draught of fishes is at this very moment burning in my brain."
"Oh, you don't know what I've been through," then, femininely, "poor, poor Mubby, he's been through a lot, too." Her tears began to flow again. I sat beside her on the bed. I put my arm about her and drew her to me. I kissed her tear-wet mouth. The taste of her ripe sweet mouth with the salt of her tears wet on her lips was very good to me....
"For God's sake don't think I'm jealous of Darrie ... I'm only wild about the way she encourages Mubby to talk over his troubles with her and tell her about him and me, asking her advice ... as if she could give any advice worth while "They began to talk and talk about me just as if I were a laboratory specimen.... "Damn this laboratory marriage! damn this laboratory love!
I brought her to her feet with a strong, quick pull, and against my breast. But I did not dare do what I desired take her in my arms and try to kiss her. She paused a second, then thrust me back. "Look, the sun's almost gone down ... and Mubby and Darrie will be home a long time by this time ... and Mubby will be getting fidgety."
It was customary to serve sight-seers, in a dining room kept for that purpose, with Best o' Wheat and cream, and wheat coffee ... free.... With a little reluctance Dan sat down and ate. "Mubby?" "That's what mother and I call my father." "Of course I won't tell him ... and now we must go to a restaurant and have something real to eat." "I can't. I don't dare. But I'll sit and watch you eat."
In a minute unexpectedly she began returning my kisses ... hungrily ... her eyes closed ... breathing deeply like one in a trance.... "Go up to the house now, Johnnie, my love ... go, so Mubby won't be suspicious of us ... I want to stay here ... leave the blinds drawn as they are.... "You have been so gentle, so sweet."
"But we can't be together there much ... it's too near the big house." "What shall we do, then?" "There's the fields and the woods ... miles of them ... the whole outside world for us." "I don't see why we shouldn't go strolling together ... the rest are all abroad somewhere, too ... but we must be careful, Johnnie, very careful." "Careful why?" "Because of Mubby."
