He got his board and room from us for being steward, and how he ever got the fancy eats he gave us out of four dollars per week per appetite is an unsolved wonder. He made twenty-five dollars in one week by introducing a new brand of canned beans among the hash clubs. He took orders for bookbinding on Saturdays, and sold advertising programs for the college functions after school hours.
But whether the end be seventy years hence, or seven hundred, be the close of the mortal history of humanity as far distant in the future as its shadowy beginnings seem now to lie behind us, this only we may foretell with confidence, that the riddle of man's nature will remain unsolved.
You say to your man, "Go there and wait for me," and you arrive and find him waiting; though how he transferred himself thither, with his queer-looking bundle, and his lota, and cooking utensils, and your best teapot wrapped up in a newspaper and ready for use, and with all the other hundred and one things that a native servant contrives to carry about without breaking or losing one of them, is an unsolved puzzle.
Instead of having wasted dozens of years on a titanic struggle, instead of being tormented by the throes of despair, instead of growing enfeebled by horror in the face of unsolved mysteries, of striving to subject the world to my mind and my will, I could have climbed the table and one instant of pain I would be free; I would be triumphant over the lock and the walls, over truth and falsehood, over joys and sufferings.
In some cottonwoods, not far from the camp, they found his hatchet and his bag hanging to a tree. It looked for a time, as though the mystery of Hughie McKeever's disappearance would be one of the unsolved tragedies of the mountains. But a trapper, whose route took him along Thunder Creek that spring, noticed that his dog made a side trip each time, away from the trail.
"Life differs from the play only in this," said Godolphin, some time afterwards; "it has no plot all is vague, desultory, unconnected till the curtain drops with the mystery unsolved." Those were the last words that Godolphin ever addressed to the actress. This event detained Godolphin some days longer in town.
Here and there throughout the city, a little knot of the graver burghers might be found lingering to discuss the situation in attitudes of helpless dejection, and scattering with their problems all unsolved.
Not only are we now free to give adequate consideration to this question, but it is also imperative that we should do so, for whilst I am hopeful that the Land Act will settle the question of tenure, it will obviously not merely leave the other problems of agricultural existence problems some of which are not unknown in other parts of the United Kingdom still unsolved, but will also increase the necessity for their solution, and will, moreover, bring in its train complex difficulties of its own.
Leaving these perplexing conundrums unsolved, I turned slowly back down the walk, to resume my search.
Across the clear sky of his happiness a cloud had gloomed, spoiling for a time the perfection of it. He could not think of marriage while the mystery of Dacre Wynne's death remained unsolved. It seemed unthinkable. Tony West told him he was getting morbid about it, and to have a change. "Come up to London and see some of your friends," was West's advice. But Merriton never took it.
