These psychical conditions of healthy feeding are not trivial matters, as we are too apt to suppose. They are part, and a very important part, of the physiology of nutrition, and so deserving of scientific inquiry and of practical attention. They have been made the subject of careful experiment by a Russian physiologist, Pavloff.
Anne's name had never been mentioned between him and myself since my release. Perhaps he imagined I was forgetting her, though Mary knew better. I sent a wire from Exeter to "M. Pavloff," and when I arrived at Waterloo, about half-past ten at night, I drove straight to the Charing Cross Hotel, secured a room there, and asked for Herr Pavloff.
I glanced at that first, and found it filled in with an almost indecipherable scrawl. I made out the name and address right enough as "M. Pavloff, Charing Cross Hotel," and puzzled over a line in German, which I at length translated as "bearing a message from Johann." Now who on earth were Pavloff and Johann?
"Though I shall perchance see her, when my present business is done. Be patient. You will doubtless have news of her at Zostrov." "How do you know I am going there?" "Does not all the countryside know that a foreigner rides with Mishka Pavloff? God be with you, Excellency." He made one of his quaint genuflexions and backed rapidly to the door. "Here, stop!" I commanded, striding after him.
No wonder his appetite is apt to be poor, and that even what food he eats will not produce a flow of "appetite juice" in the stomach, which Pavloff has shown to be so necessary to digestion. No wonder his digestion is apt to go wrong, ably assisted by the continual drip of the chronic discharge down the back of his throat; his bowels to become clogged and his abdomen distended.
It thus is much more exposed to be exterminated by man; and we cannot maintain, with any approach to certainty, that the black rat is being either exterminated or starved out by the brown rat and not by man. According to Madame Marie Pavloff, who has made a special study of this subject, they migrated from Asia to Africa, stayed there some time, and returned next to Asia.
"They were to defend the synagogue; we may still be in time to help," said Pavloff. "True, we four must push on; these others must follow as they are able, and tell the rest as they meet them. Give Stepán the word, Mishka," commanded the Duke. Mishka wheeled his horse and rode back, and we pressed forward, increasing the pace to a gallop.
She nodded, but made no comment, and, as Pavloff mounted and rode off alone, Loris also mounted and joined us with Vassilitzi, and the four of us started at a hand-gallop, a little ahead of the others.
I had rather wondered on what footing I should be received here, especially since Mishka's remark, a while back, about the "prisoner." But some one Loris himself or Mishka, or both of them had planned things perfectly, and I am sure that no one beyond ourselves and the elder Pavloff, who was also in the secret, had the slightest suspicion that I was other than I appeared to be.
Pavloff bared his shaggy head, and bent over the hand as if it had been that of an empress; then moved away and went plump on his knees before Loris. "Where is he going?" I asked Anne, ranging my horse alongside. "Back to his work, like the good man he is," she said, her eyes fixed on Loris, who had raised the old steward and was speaking to him rapidly and affectionately.
