It's more than a fortnight since I was in Japan." He shook hands with me, and I introduced him to Rulledge and Wanhope. He said at once: "Well, what is it? Question of Braybridge's engagement? It's humiliating to a man to come back from the antipodes, and find the nation absorbed in a parochial problem like that.
When you've got anything to say you can send for me." Minver ran after him, as no doubt he meant some one should. "Oh, come back! He's just going to begin;" and when Rulledge, after some pouting, had been pushed down into his chair again, Wanhope went on, with a glance of scientific pleasure at him.
"Perhaps he hadn't," Minver suggested. Wanhope waited for a thoughtful moment of censure eventuating in toleration. "You mean that she " "I don't see why you say that, Minver," Rulledge interposed chivalrously, with his mouth full of sandwich. "I didn't say it," Minver contradicted. "You implied it; and I don't think it's fair.
It's easy enough to build up a report of that kind on the half-knowledge of rumor which is all that any outsider can have in the case." "So far," Minver said, with unbroken tranquillity, "as any such edifice has been erected, you are the architect, Rulledge. I shouldn't think you would like to go round insinuating that sort of thing.
At any rate, they were married that fall. They are I believe he's pursuing his archaeological studies there living in Athens." "Together?" Minver smoothly inquired. At this expression of cynicism Rulledge gave him a look that would have incinerated another. Wanhope went out with Minver, and then, after a moment's daze, Rulledge exclaimed: "Jove!
"Go ahead," Rulledge commanded, "and do the best you can." "I'm not sure," the psychologist thoughtfully said, "that I am quite satisfied to call Ormond's experiences hallucinations. There ought to be some other word that doesn't accuse his sanity in that degree. For he apparently didn't show any other signs of an unsound mind." "None that Mrs. Ormond would call so," Minver suggested.
"I shouldn't have thought he could have stirred in the morning," Rulledge employed Halson's pause to say. "Well, this beaver had to," Halson said. "He was not the only early riser. He found Miss Hazelwood at the station before him." "What!" Rulledge shouted. I confess the fact rather roused me, too; and Wanhope's eyes kindled with a scientific pleasure. "She came right towards him. 'Mr.
"Do you mean that Miss Hazelwood " Rulledge began, but Minver's laugh arrested him. "Nothing so concrete, I'm afraid," Wanhope gently returned. "I mean, to match them in graciousness, in loveliness, in all the agile contests of spirit and plays of fancy. There's something pathetic to see them caught up into something more serious in that other game, which they are so good at."
Oh, I ought to tell you that when she first began to be anxious for him she privately wrote home to their family doctor, telling him how strangely happy Ormond was, and asking him if he could advise anything. He wrote back that if Ormond was so very happy they had better not do anything to cure him; that the disease was not infectious, and was seldom fatal." "What an ass!" said Rulledge.
Wanhope desisted with a provisional air, and Rulledge went and got Himself a sandwich from the lunch-table. "Well, upon my word!" said Minver. "I thought you had dined, Rulledge." Rulledge came back munching, and said to Wanhope, as he settled himself in his chair again: "Well, go on." "Why, that's all." The psychologist was silent, with Rulledge staring indignantly at him. "I suppose Mrs.
