But in the morning, something he read in the paper concerning a vast enterprise, involving the control of the new radium mines in Southern California, startled him into trying to recollect what he had heard of Yo Espero and the Cascade Development and Securities Company. Tainting its title the sinister name of Moebus seemed to reoccur persistently in his confused imagination.
The day of the week in each case had been Friday, and the humming noise had commenced at precisely the same time the passing of the sun over the meridian. To-day was the third successive Friday, and Constans had made preparations for the careful noting of the phenomenon should it reoccur. He waited with a lively sense of expectation, and he was not disappointed.
They were polite to him, of course, but they did manage to ask him some very unpleasant and rather personal questions, and they did manage to impress upon him that certain things mentioned in the Civic League's report must not be allowed to reoccur. One juror he was a planter had even had the temerity to say out loud the ugly word "penetentiary." Inglesby was shocked. He hadn't known.
"May I have the babies down?" Aymer pretended to grumble. "You'll go to them if I say no," he complained, "so I have no option." The bell was rung and the babies ordered to descend. "Before they come, Cæsar, I'm going to ask you a favour," she said coaxingly, "now you are in a good temper again." "Was I in a bad one?" "Dreadful. It mustn't reoccur. It is such a bad example for the children."
Yet, when he was going away, and Katusha stood with his aunts in the porch, and looked after him, her dark, slightly-squinting eyes filled with tears, he felt, after all, that he was leaving something beautiful, precious, something which would never reoccur. And he grew very sad. "Good-bye, Katusha," he said, looking across Sophia Ivanovna's cap as he was getting into the trap.
