Positively he began to look sort of sympathetic and human. "Westoby," he said at last, in a voice almost of awe, "when they get up another world's fair you must have a building to yourself. You're colossal, that's what you are!" "I'm only in love," I said. "Well, that's the love that moves mountains," he said. "If anybody had told me that I should . . . " He stopped irresolutely on the word.
I'm off." "My mother " he began. "You simply can not act so dishonorably, Jones." He sat silent for a little while. "My mother " he started in again finally. "Surely your mother loves you?" I demanded. "That's the terrible part of it, Westoby, she " "Pooh!" "She stinted herself to get me through col " "Then why did you ever come here?" "That's just the question I'm asking myself now."
I'm in the position of having to choose between her and the woman I love. And I owe so much to my mother, Westoby. She stinted herself for years to get me through college; she hardly had enough to eat; she . . . " Then he groaned a lot more. "I can't think that your mother a mother like yours, Jones would consent to stand between you and your lifelong happiness.
"There's a lot of make-believe in medicine," he said; "but I'm one of those poor devils who can't help telling a patient the truth. There's nothing whatever the matter with you, Mr. Westoby, except that your skin has a slightly abrased look, and I seem to notice an abnormal sensitiveness to touch" "Were you ever in Colorado, Doctor?" I asked while he was good enough to help me into my shirt.
In fact, we're the only Joneses and the name is as dear to me, as sacred, as I suppose that of Westoby is, perhaps, to you. And yet and yet do you know what she actually said to me? Said to me, holding my hand, and, and that the only thing she didn't like about me was my name." I contrived to get out, "Good heavens!" with the proper astonishment.
I reminded Crossman of having backed some bills of his big bills, too at a time when it was touch and go whether he'd manage to keep his head above water. "Westoby," he replied, "don't think that time has lessened my sense of that obligation. I'd cut off my right hand to do you a good turn. But for heaven's sake, don't ask me to monkey with my gout!"
"Westoby," he broke out suddenly, "if there's one thing I'm sensitive about it is my name. Slap me in the face, turn the hose on me, rip the coat off my back and you'd be astounded by my mildness. But when it comes to my name I I'm a tiger!" "A tiger," I repeated encouragingly. "It all went swimmingly," he continued in a tone of angry confidence.
I said I'd pay all the expenses. In fact, the more they could make it cost the better I'd be pleased. "What," roared Nevill, "put myself in the hands of a young fool so that he may fill his empty pockets with your money! Where do I come in? Good heavens, Westoby, you're crazy! Think what would happen to me if it came to Doctor Saltworthy's ears? He'd never have anything more to do with me!"
Westoby," he resumed, "I was foolish enough to back a friend's credit at a store here. He has skipped to Minnesota, and I am left with three hundred and four dollars and seventy-five cents to pay. To take a three days' holiday would be a serious matter to me at any time, but at this moment it is impossible." I gave him a good long look. He didn't strike me as a borrowing kind of man.
"So it was at the time, for, of course, I couldn't foresee that my practice was going to fill the street and call for policemen to keep order. But, my dear Westoby, after giving the subject a great deal of consideration I have come to the conclusion that it would be too painful for me to revive those those unhappy emotions I was just beginning to recover from!" "I thought you loved her!"
