You said to yourself, 'If God will it, I shall get over this, and because you willed it, it was so. Were I a drunkard, an outcast, the very refuse of humanity, tainted with vice to the very centre of my being, I have but to will to be sober and live decently, and while I continue to will it, I shall be what I desire to be." Saxham's eyes hold Julius's, and challenge them.
Before the question had left Saxham's lips, the monster gun spoke out in deafening thunder from the enemy's position at East Point, nearly two miles away.
Her soul yearns for incense and vestments, candles, and acolytes, and most of all for her boy. Well, she will thank you herself for him one day, Doctor." The little dry hand, glittering with magnificent rings, touched Saxham's gently. "In the meantime let a woman who hasn't got a son shake hands with you for her." "You make too much of that affair." Saxham took the offered hand.
His writing-table lamp had burned through the nights, but she had never ventured upon another stolen visit to Saxham's consulting-room. The memory of that kiss she had put upon the velvety-smooth space above the broad meeting eyebrows stung in her like a sense of guilt, and yet it had its sweetness. She had claimed her right.
Saxham's bedroom, that was on the floor above, and was done up in the loveliest style you ever! "Not that Missis W. Keyse would exchange 'er present quarters for Buckin'am Palace," she declared, pouring out her William's tea, "if invited to do so by 'er Majesty the Queen 'erself." William stopped blowing at his smoking saucer. "They s'y She's dyin'!" His face lengthened. He put the saucer down.
Rather an absurd little person, Mrs. Bough. Yet, a tragic little person, in Saxham's eyes at least, by the time she had made her errand plain. He heard her tell the tale that was not new to him. Cultured, highly-bred women had made such appeals to him before, and without shame. How should this little vulgar creature be expected to have more conscience than they?
His eyes winced under the heavy petrifying, unseeing stare of Saxham's blue ones.... "Sorry to stem the flood of your reminiscences, McFadyen, but we're going to overhaul the Hospital now."
"They state in the usual formula that it will be to your advantage to communicate with them. May I, as a friend, urge on you the necessity of doing so?" Saxham's grim mouth shut close. His eyes brooded sullenly. "I will think it over, sir." "You haven't much time. A despatch-runner from Koodoosvaal got through the enemy's lines last night with some letters and this paper.
A line of perplexity came between the dark fine eyebrows; the sweet colour in her face wavered and sank. "But if you were to touch me to take me in your arms I " She shivered. "You need not say more!" If she was pale, Saxham's stern, square face was ashen. His eyes glowered and fell under hers, and a purple vein swelled in the middle of his broad white forehead. "I understand!"
The clock ticked, and the faint, far-off street noises came through the intervening screens, but only one of the men in the room seemed to be breathing. At last Saxham's grey lips moved. He said in a horrible clicking whisper: "Van Busch and Bough are one?" Major Wrynche's large face nodded in the affirmative. But it was as expressionless as the grandfather clock's.
