Before he had time to notice anything unnatural in the greeting of Larcher and Miss Hill, Florence had motioned him to one of the chairs near the fire. It was the chair at the extreme right of the group, so far toward a recess formed by the piano and a corner of the room that, when the others had resumed their seats, Turl was almost hemmed in by them and the piano.
To this I know you will both joyfully consent. If good can be done, you will not deny me my share! It was characteristic of Turl never to speak on serious occasions without leaving a deep impression on his hearers. Wilmot heaved a profound sigh, but was silent. Having thus far prevailed, I was desirous of being immediately removed to prison: but to this they both vehemently objected.
Tompkins knows some lawyer here, to whom he will introduce you," suggested Turl. "You want a lawyer?" said Tompkins. "There are three or four here. Over there's Doctor Brady, the medico-legal man; you've heard of him, I suppose, a well-known criminologist." "I should think he'd be the very man for you," said Turl to Bagley.
He was now all ready to put his design into execution." "On the very afternoon," Turl went on, "before the day when Davenport could have Mr. Bud's room to himself, Bagley sent for him in order to confide some business to his charge. This was a customary occurrence, and, rather than seem to act unusually just at that time, Davenport went and received Bagley's instructions.
Turl, how did it happen that you felt no aversion to the confutation, as you suppose, of a man for whom you had professed a regard? He replied, 'You, Mr. Trevor, are well acquainted with my answer: "Socrates is my friend, Plato is my friend, but truth is more my friend." If I myself had written falsehood yesterday, and now knew it to be such, I would answer it to day. Would not you?
Unfortunate as he himself had been, or at least had thought himself, in his love of literature and poetry, it yet gave him pleasure to find that the same passion was far from having abated in me. He called it a bewitching illusion; Turl affirmed it was a beneficial and noble propensity of soul.
On my return, the latter was defending the right of man to commit suicide; which Turl denied; not on the false and untenable ground of superstition, but from the only true argument, the immoral tendency of the act. He was delicate though decisive in his opposition; and only requested Mr. Wilmot to consider, whether to effect the good of the whole be not the true purpose of virtue?
"That keyhole business it needn't go any further, I s'pose?" "I give you my word," said Turl. Larcher added his, whereupon Bagley bade the barkeeper telephone for a four-wheeler, and would have taken them to their homes in it. But they preferred a walk, and left him waiting for his cab. "Well!" exclaimed Larcher, as soon as he was out of the saloon. "I congratulate you!
I therefore applied myself, immediately, in the most assiduous manner, to collect and state such facts as I had gathered, relative to the practice of the law: and, that the argument might be placed in the clearest light possible, I begged of Turl to take that part of the subject which related to its principles upon himself. Thus provided, I wrote to Mr.
Turl watched her face, with a softened, wistful, perplexed look on his own. The ticking of the clock on the mantel grew very loud. Suddenly Turl spoke, in the quietest, gentlest manner. "You must not be unhappy." She turned, with a look of surprise, a look that asked him how he knew her heart. "I know it from your face, your demeanor all the time, whatever you're doing," he said.
