Chick followed, with the Rhamda Geos at his side. At the top of the flight the Nervina was escorted to one of the chairs, while Chick placed the Geos in the other. It left the two Californians on their feet, to move around to whatever extent seemed commensurate with dignity. Chick drew Harry aside.
But he insisted that I couldn't help; that he had a clue, and that it might take time. From that night I saw very little of him. He leased the house on Chatterton Place. He seemed to lose interest in myself; when he did come over he would act queerly. He talked incoherently, and would often make rambling mention of a beautiful girl called Nervina. You say it is the ring? Tell me, Mr.
Nevertheless I am certain it has much to do with the Blind Spot. It is a key of some sort. The very interest of the Rhamda and the Nervina tells us that. I think it was through this stone that your father made his discovery." She thought a moment. "Hadn't you better return it? While you still have health? If you keep it, it will be only one more." "You forget, Miss Holcomb, my promise to Chick.
The Spot of Life was watched continually from the moment the Rhamda left us." "You mean, he and the Nervina?" "Quite so; she followed him after an interval of a few hours." "I know. But you say that no one came out ahead of me. Who was it that guarded this this Spot of Life? The Rhamdas?" "They and the Bars." "Ah! And who are the Bars?" "The military priesthood.
If Chick had only known of it, he wouldn't have insisted that Harry should wear it; and then " "Can't be helped," I interrupted quickly. "Chick didn't know; he was only certain that someone SOMEONE must wear the ring; that it mustn't pass out of the possession of humans. Moreover, much as Rhamda Avec may desire it and the Nervina, too neither can secure it through the use of force.
There was a guard-lined lane through the crowd, allowing the Nervina and the rest access to the foot of the steps. Reaching that point she paused for a look around. The sun had just gone down; the artificial lights of the temple had not yet been turned on. Overhead, the great storm-cloud hung portentously, even more ominous than in the brighter light.
Charlotte Fenton does not indulge in speculation. She seems to bear up wonderfully well in the face of Harry Wendel's affinity for the Nervina, and also in the face of her brother's disappearance. And she philosophically states: "When Columbus returned from his search for the East Indies, he triumphantly announced that he had found what he sought. "He was mistaken.
He has already told of our conversation. It was the ring of which the Nervina had told me. It had to do with the Blind Spot the great secret that had taken Dr. Holcomb. He would not give it to me. I worked hard, for even then I was not afraid of it. Something told me I must do it to save him. It was weird, and something I could not understand but I must do it for Harry. I failed.
I had no excuse outside of sheer insanity and dishonour. The doctor said nothing. It was only in Watson's face that there was a bit of understanding. "Hobart," he said, "I have told you. It is not Harry's fault. It is the Nervina. No man may resist her. She is beauty incarnate; she weaves with the hearts of men, and she loves no one. It is the ring. She, the Rhamda, the Blind Spot, and the ring.
Then, taking an entirely new tack: "You say the Rhamda and this Nervina, independently, solved the mystery of the Spot of Life, I believe you call it. And that Spot leads, apparently, into the occult?" "Apparently, if not positively. It was the wisdom of Avec, mostly. He had been in communication with your world by means of his own discovery and application. It was all in line with the prophecy.
