The Governor had consented to allow Harran to "come in," if he so desired, and Harran had pledged himself to share one-sixth of the campaign expenses, providing these did not exceed a certain figure. As Annixter came to the door of the barn to shout abuse at the distraught Chinese cook who was cutting up lemons in the kitchen, he caught sight of Presley and Vanamee and hailed them.
Sarria and Vanamee found their way to a stone bench against the side wall of the Mission, near the door from which they had just issued, and sat down, Sarria lighting a cigar, Vanamee rolling and smoking cigarettes in Mexican fashion. All about them widened the vast calm night. All the stars were out. The moon was coming up. There was no wind, no sound.
We will smoke a cigar in the cloister garden." A few moments later the two passed out of the door on the other side of the church, opposite the pulpit, Sarria adjusting a silk skull cap on his tonsured head. He wore his cassock now, and was far more the churchman in appearance than when Vanamee and Presley had seen him on a former occasion. They were now in the cloister garden.
I wanted to see you about that matter. It is not so much that we begrudge but in a place like this where everyone must work shoulder to shoulder and purely as a point of office discipline Mr. Vanamee is rather rigid in regard to that and your work so far has really hardly justified " "Oh that's all right, Mr.
It is only Hell that is real." Sarria caught him by the arm. "You are a fool and a child," he exclaimed, "and it is blasphemy that you are saying. I forbid it. You understand? I forbid it." Vanamee turned on him with a sudden cry. "Then, tell your God to give her back to me!" Sarria started away from him, his eyes widening in astonishment, surprised out of all composure by the other's outburst.
The pent-up grief of nearly twenty years rose again within his heart, and overflowed, irresistible, violent, passionate. There was no one to see, no one to hear. Vanamee had no thought of restraint. He no longer wrestled with his pain strove against it. There was even a sense of relief in permitting himself to be overcome. But the reaction from this outburst was equally violent.
All unsuspecting she gave herself to the embrace of a strange pair of arms, and Vanamee arriving but a score of moments later, stumbled over her prostrate body, inert and unconscious, in the shadow of the overspiring trees. Who was the Other? Angele was carried to her home on the Seed ranch, delirious, all but raving, and Vanamee, with knife and revolver ready, ranged the country-side like a wolf.
"I think," answered Vanamee slowly, "I think that there was a dance in Brussels the night before Waterloo." In his office at San Francisco, seated before a massive desk of polished redwood, very ornate, Lyman Derrick sat dictating letters to his typewriter, on a certain morning early in the spring of the year.
Presley hesitated for a moment, then he asked: "Shall you go back to the garden again? Make the test again?" "I don't know." "Strange enough," commented Presley, wondering. Vanamee sank back in his chair, his eyes growing vacant again: "Strange enough," he murmured. There was a long silence. Neither spoke nor moved.
It was small wonder that, bringing a fancy so distorted back to the scene of a vanished happiness, Vanamee should be racked with the most violent illusions, beset in the throes of a veritable hysteria. "Tell your God to give her back to me," he repeated with fierce insistence.
