He had plumbed in one short afternoon the depths of horror and despair, and now found repose in the conviction that life had no more secrets for him: neither had death! He sat by the corpse thinking; thinking very actively, thinking very new thoughts. He seemed to have broken loose from himself altogether.
The water, when the stream was swelled with rains, must have filled it from side to side; the sun's rays only plumbed it in the hour of noon; the wind, in that narrow and damp funnel, blew tempestuously.
A little caught breath of unutterable relief fluttered between her lips. If he heard it, he made no sign. "And now" he turned as though to leave her "I think that's all that need be said between us." "It is not all" in a low voice. "What? Is there more still?" Again his voice held an insolent irony that lashed her like a whip. "Haven't you yet plumbed the full depths of my iniquity?" "No.
It came with a new inspiration, and while it lasted nothing on earth was so important. Then when it was finished he never wanted to see the thing again." "Go on," said his listener.

Now, let us see what happened to the son. He was the leadsman, that is to say, it was his business to sound the depths of the sea; he had plumbed the profound abysses of the ocean, calculated the elevation of the land and the apparent motion of the sky; he knew the exact time by looking at the sun, and he could tell from the stars how far they had travelled.
