In these days the old man's urgency of Tollman's suit was rarely silenced, but one afternoon he pitched it to a new key, and the girl's habitual expression of weariness gave way to one of startled amazement. "Of one phase of the matter," he said, "I have never spoken. I refrained because Eben was unwilling that you should know, but justice is justice you should honor your benefactor."
Now if it could be shown that this man was mixed up in some sort of a scandal with a married woman, or a shady one, for instance that ought to fit the case, oughtn't it?" "Precisely." Again Tollman's voice was tinged with an unaccustomed quickness of interest, but at once, as though he had made a mistake, he amended with a heavy gravity, "However, we can hardly forecast what you will learn.
"I can't ever master it somehow," she evaded, and as she spoke Eben Tollman ushered Mr. Hagan out upon the terrace. As stranger and host passed out Stuart fancied that he detected in Tollman's manner a certain eagerness to speed the parting guest and when the visitor had gone, Eben withdrew at once to his sanctum, declining a cup of tea.
After all, he was leaving to-day and whatever his feelings, he had so far been outwardly the beneficiary of Tollman's hospitality. Nothing was to be gained, except a sort of churlish satisfaction, by assuming at the eleventh hour a blunt and open hostility of manner. "I'm sorry," suggested Tollman evenly. "I had hoped that we might have you with us longer.
Here, he told himself, was a nature cramped and bigoted. Such men had smirched the history of religion with inquisitions and tortures and had retarded the progress of human thought. Tollman's impression was less distinct. He fancied that in the penetrating quality of the other's gaze was an impertinence of prying.
When Tollman's delirium had burned him into a temporary exhaustion he collapsed into a chair and at his feet, forgotten now, fell the envelope which he had flaunted vainly before the eyes of the transgressors. They had escaped, not scourged or harrowed according to their deserts, but smiling like sleepy children, through the door of unconsciousness and oblivion.
He suffered the effects of the circumstantial out of consideration for her." "Indeed!" Tollman's voice was one of quickened interest, seemingly of pleased surprise. He was developing an excellent facility in the actor's art. "That is gratifying news. One likes to think well of an old friend, but how did you learn?" The woman bit her lip.
Maybe you can't blame them at that. If virtue is measured that way and it's a practical way the 'until, as you call it, came to Minnie at the end of quite a siege." Mr. Tollman's impatience grew into actual fretfulness as his visitor delayed coming to the point of his proposition.
The work in which he had made his name distinguished had to do with the human brain its vagaries as well as its normalities and his thought was enough in advance of the general to be frequently misunderstood and sometimes a target for lay ridicule. On the evening after his arrival he sat in Eben Tollman's study with two other men who were also classmates.
"Here is a Syracusan decadrachm with the head of Persephone, which is at once rare, well preserved, and beautiful. I am afraid to tell what I paid for it." The Interviewer was not an expert in numismatics. He cared very little more for an old coin than he did for an old button, but he had thought his purchase at the tollman's might prove a good speculation.
