"Of course; but still Tynie has never 'issued instructions' before, and if there was any time I ought to humour him it is now. He's so intense about the war! But I can't explain everything on paper to him, so I've written to say I'm going to South Africa to explain, and that I'll come back by the next boat, if my reasons are not convincing." In other circumstances Jasmine would have laughed.
When I see the multitude of broken and maimed victims of war, well, I feel like Jeremiah; but I feel sad too that these poor fellows and those they love must suffer in order to teach us our lesson us and England. Dear old friend, great man, I am going to quote a verse Tynie read to me last night oh, how strange that seems! Yet it was so in a sense, he did read to me.
Lady Tynemouth threw up her hands. "Jasmine, I'm in despair. I had set my heart upon it. I thought I could do it easily, and I haven't done it, after trying as hard as can be. Everything has gone wrong, and now Tynie cables I mustn't go to South Africa. Fancy a husband forbidding a wife to come to him." "Well, perhaps it's better than a husband forbidding his wife to leave him."
Then I asked Tynie, and he told me that well, all about her and Adrian Fellowes. Was Al'mah there? Did she give evidence?" "She was there to be called, if necessary," he responded, "but the coroner was very good about it. After the autopsy the authorities said evidence was unnecessary, and " "You arranged that, probably?" "Yes; it was not difficult. They were so stupid and so kind."
You found the key to England's isolation, to her foreign problem, I'm quoting Tynie which meant that the other nations keep hands off in this fight; well, why shouldn't you find another key, that to the future of this Empire? You got European peace for England, and now the problem is how to make this Empire a real thing. Tynie says this, not me.
If he'd lived to be a hundred with the sight of his eyes, he'd never have known that there's a world that belongs to Allah, I love that word, it sounds so great and yet so friendly, so gentler than the name by which we call the First One in our language and our religion and that world is inside ourselves.... Tynie is always thinking of other people now, wondering what they are doing and how they are doing it.
We shall feel that we are doing something for our country and, oh, so much for ourselves! And we shall be near our men. Tynie and Ruddy Byng will be out there, and we shall be ready for anything if necessary. But Rudyard, will he approve?" She held up the cheque. Jasmine made a passionate gesture.
Believe me, neither the girl you love nor any woman on earth is entitled to hold in slavery the energies and the mind and hopes of a man who can do big things or any man at all. "Ian, Tynie and I have our trials, but we are going to live them down. At first Tynie wanted to die, but he soon said he would see it through blind at forty.
His command of English is better than mine, but neither of us would make a good private secretary, if we had to write letters with words of over two syllables. I've told you what Tynie says, but he doesn't know at all what I know; he doesn't see the danger I see, doesn't realize the mad thing in your brain, the sad thing weighing down your heart and hers.
It shines, Ian: beauty comes from within. Poor old Tynie, who would have thought that the world he loved couldn't make that light in his face! I never saw it there did you? It is just giving up one's self to the Inevitable.
