Orme," she said, taking him by the hand, and holding it. "I wish it were different; I wish it could be different." "There is no hope then?" And as he spoke there was a sound in his voice as though the tidings would utterly unman him. "I should be wicked to deceive you," she said. "There is no hope."
The fate of civilization turns on men who recognize the nature of machinery, who make machines serve them, who add the machines to their souls, like telephones and wireless telegraph, or to their bodies, like radium and railroads, and who know when and when not and how and how not to use them who are so used to using machines quietly and powerfully, that they do not let the machines outwit them and unman them.
In the blood of us all such terrors linger to unman the bravest; and for the moment such fright and panic swept me as I have never known before or since. I, who have laughed at death even in the hour of torture, sank in deadly agony before that mystery of light and shadow, as if it indeed foreshadowed the wrath of the Great Spirit.
Eric thanked her for her counsel, and kissed her, then turned to Gudruda, who stood, white and still, plucking at her golden girdle. "What can I say to thee?" he asked. "Say nothing, but go," she answered: "go before I weep." "Weep not, Gudruda, or thou wilt unman me. Say, thou wilt think on me?" "Ay, Eric, by day and by night." "And thou wilt be true to me?"
He closed his eyes quickly and stretched out his hand against her, as though to shut out the vision of things that rose before him as though to stop words that would unman him. "But I was a young girl! And what does a young girl understand about her duty in things like that? I know it changed your whole life; you will never know what it has meant in mine."
"No, Marguerite, that would unman me, and to-day I must be strong and master of myself. Farewell, I am going to the Temple!" And, without looking at his wife again, he hurried out into the street, and turned his steps toward his destination. But just as he was turning the very next corner Lepitre met him, pale, and displaying great excitement in his face.
Oh, Grace and I know it all and appreciate it; and and Alford, if I should fall, I commend Grace to your care." "Hilland, stop, or you will unman me. This accursed grove is haunted, I half believe; and were I in command I would order 'Boots and Saddles' to be sounded at once. There, sleep, Warren, and in the morning you will be your own grand self.
Else, should I think myself repaid, amply repaid, if the fourth, fifth, or sixth midnight stroll, through unfrequented paths, and over briery enclosures, affords me a few cold lines; the even expected purport only to let me know, that she values the most worthless person of her very worthless family, more than she values me; and that she would not write at all, but to induce me to bear insults, which unman me to bear?
"Certainly; I am going up to my office where you found me this afternoon. I shall be there from this on, if you wish to send any word. I'll see that you have a messenger. Good-by." He left her before her sympathetic mood should unman him, his soul crying out at the kindness which cut so much more deeply than her mockery. At the top of the corridor stair McCloskey was waiting for him.
"Any bones broke?" He leaned to feel of the unwrapped part of Johnnie's hurt arm. The indifferent tone, the hated, ungentle touch, and the nearness of the longshoreman, all worked to unman Johnnie, who gave way again. He did not fear a whipping any longer. It was, as Mrs. Kukor might have put it, "somethink yet again."
