"Professor," said Beale, sitting down in the place which Parson Homo had vacated and leaning across the table, "are you still working for van Heerden?" The old man rolled his big head from side to side in an agony of protest. "Of the learned doctor I do not want to speak," he said, "to me he has been most kind.
Men are unaccountable creatures, but unfortunately for my husband his senses returned too late; my heart was too entirely occupied to restore him to that place he had so hastily vacated.
