I say, Constance, I suppose they've followed you down here." "Who, Garry," very innocently. "The faithful three, Colonel Vetchen, Cuyp, and old I mean the gracefully mature Courtlandt Classon. Are they here?" "I believe so, dear," admitted his aunt demurely. "And, Garry, so is Virginia Suydam."
He overhauled the speeding machine as it throbbed before the doors of Mercy Hospital, to be greeted by a grinning chauffeur who waved him toward the building and told of a doctor's urgency. Inside, Doctor Suydam, pallid of face and shaking in a most unprofessional manner, was bending over a figure in riding-clothes, the figure of a tall, muscular man who lay silent, deaf to his words of greeting.
"Yeth, thir," said the small and freckled attendant. So the party descended the wooden incline to where their sleepy black chairmen lay on the grass, waiting; and presently the two double chairs wheeled away toward that amusing maze of jungle pathways cut through the impenetrable hammock, and popularly known as the labyrinth. But Miss Suydam and Mr. Malcourt were not in the labyrinth.
And a great many pairs of bright eyes and many more pairs of faded ones were curiously following the manoeuvres of Louis Malcourt and Virginia Suydam.
Austin, divining the rebellion in his friend's heart, said, quickly: "You're the only one who could enlighten her, Doc, but you won't do it. You owe me too much." "I I suppose I do," acknowledged Suydam, slowly. "I owe you more than I can ever repay " "Wait " The sick man raised his hand, while a sudden light blazed up in his face. "She's coming!"
Hamil reddened. "You mustn't ask me to criticise my own kin," he said. "No," she said, "you couldn't do that.... And Miss Suydam has been more civil recently. It's a mean, low, and suspicious thing to say, but I suppose it's because but I don't think I'll say it after all." "It's nicer not to," said Hamil. They both knew perfectly well that Virginia's advances were anything but disinterested.
But Robert Austin did not die, although the attending surgeons said he would, said he should, in fact, unless all the teachings of their science were at fault. He even offended the traditions of the hospital by being removed to his own apartments in a week. There Suydam, who had watched him night and day, told him that Miss Moore had a broken shoulder and hence could not come to see him.
Philip, uneasy at the emptiness of the town and leisurely fashion in which things were likely to move, started for Lapsaki, across the Marmora, for food and blankets, and Suydam and I strolled about the town. We had gone but a few steps when we observed an aimless-looking individual in fez and civilian clothes following us.
