Royce's attack, this appeal would never have been written, or the least notice taken of his intrinsically puerile "criticisms." When Mr. Herbert Spencer, whom I have more than once publicly criticised, can yet magnanimously write to me of this very book, "I do not see any probability that it will change my beliefs, yet I rejoice that the subject should be so well discussed," and Mr.
If her mind was going to give way at all, it would have done so at once, and not two weeks after the tragedy." "But if she had brooded over it," I objected. "She wasn't brooding at least, she had ceased to brood. You have Mr. Royce's word and the butler's word that she was getting better, brighter, quite like her old self again. Why should she relapse?" "I don't know," I said helplessly.
"The proof of Royce's rejoinder, with your notes of the 16th and 17th, arrived this morning at 9 A.M. As I have had to be at my teaching till 3 P.M., it was obviously impossible to mail a reply by 7 P.M. Hence I telegraphed to you at once: 'I protest against the gross injustice of postponing my article, or of publishing this new attack without the last word you promised me.
It was broken by Bill Royce's joyous laughter as Bill Royce's big hand smote his thigh. "Right again, Steve! An' the ol' board's still there. Go look at it; it's still there." Again all eyes sought Blenham. For a moment he stood uncertain, looking about him. Then abruptly he swept up his hat and went out. And Barbee's laughter, like an evil echo of Royce's, followed him.
Or is it the libellous and vulgar abuse which your speech shall rebuke, as shaming Harvard more than me by bringing the ethics and manners of the literary Bedouin into the professor's chair? But, gentlemen, the gravest aspect of Dr. Royce's ostensible review remains still to be considered.
Royce, despite his public pledge, was "asking for mercy," after all, and got from Dr. Adler all he asked for; I asked Dr. Adler for equity alone, and could not get even that. The sole concession made was that I might follow Dr. Royce's rejoinder with a second reply in the same number, thus closing the case with a last word for the defence.
Blenham's, since after it came Bill Royce's laugh. Another blow, fresh pounding and scraping of boots blow on top of blow, curse on top of curse a man falling heavily Who was down? Royce of Blenham? "Bill!" called Packard. "Bill!" No answer save that of two big bodies rolling together on the floor. Both were down, Royce and Blenham. Both were fighting, wordless and infuriated. Who was on top?
Abbot not accept the conditions of the present memorandum, he is at liberty to withdraw his paper, or else to let both the papers now in type appear as they are, at his pleasure. It is difficult to conceive the state of mind in which so extraordinary a document as this could have originated. My answer to Dr. Royce's officious interference was a short and dry rejection in toto. Dr.
"Blenham did whatever he could think of," he muttered colorlessly. "An' he could think of a good many things. Just the same maybe some day " "And yet you stayed on, Bill?" when Royce's voice stopped. "I'd promised your dad I'd be here with the coin when you come back. He knew an' I knew you might blow in an' blow out an' never get word unless I was right here all the time.
Translated into words Barbee's merry notes were: "Oh, I don't give a damn for no damn man that don't give a damn for me!" Blenham understood and scowled at him; Bill Royce's hesitant soul may have drawn comfort and strength from a sympathy wordlessly expressed. At any rate his reply came suddenly now: "I've took a good deal off'n you, Blenham," he said quietly. "I'd be glad to take all I could.
