She goes to you from me, from me alone, from her father to her husband. 'Ut flos in septis secretus nascitur hortis." He murmured on the lines to, "'Sic virgo, dum . . . I shall feel the parting. She goes to one who will have my pride in her, and more. I will add, who will be envied. Mr. Whitford must write you a Carmen Nuptiale." The heart of the unfortunate gentleman listening to Dr.
I'll get into town, see some of my men, and come out here to-morrow night again." Tom and Ned spent the following day in going carefully over the Falcon, making some slight repairs. The great searchlight was cleaned and adjusted, and then, as dusk came on once more Tom remarked: "Well, we're ready for 'em any time Mr. Whitford is."
Rankin of Whitford had arrived on the first alarm; but would not the gentlemen see the body? And he led them on, Dr. May's eyes on the alert to seize on anything exculpatory, but detecting nothing, seeing only the unwieldy helpless form and aged feeble countenance of the deceased, and receiving fresh impressions of the brutality and cowardice of the hand that could have struck the blow.
Dale gave the mild little sniff of a man thrown deeper into perplexity. He said: "Mr. Whitford works his head; he is a hard student; he may not be always, if I may so put it, at home on worldly affairs." "Dismiss that defamatory legend of the student, Mr. Dale; and take my word for it, that he who persistently works his head has the strongest for all affairs." "Ah! Your daughter, sir, is here?"

But the country-folk believe, sir, that the nun's curse holds true; and they say, that Whitford folks have been getting poorer and wickeder ever since that time, and will, till the Nun-pool runs up to Ashy, and the Lavingtons' name goes out of Whitford Priors. Lancelot said nothing. A presentiment of evil hung over him. He was utterly down-hearted about Tregarva, about Argemone, about the poor.
"And then they're dead," said Crossjay. Clara wished Sir Willoughby were confronting her: she could have spoken. She asked the boy where Mr. Whitford was. Crossjay pointed very secretly in the direction of the double-blossom wild-cherry.
And Tom proceeded to relate what had happened. "Sneaking up on you with a knife; eh? I guess he meant business all right, and bad business, too," said Mr. Whitford. "Let me get a look at him, Tom," for Koku had taken his prisoner to the engine room, and there, amid a storm of protests and after a futile struggle on the part of the fellow, had tied him securely.
There are few women, not well sunned and ripened, and perhaps toughened, who can thus stand apart from a man and say the true thing with a kind of genial cruelty. Still there are some and I doubt if there be any man who can return the compliment. The class of men represented by Vernon Whitford in The Egoist, says, indeed, the true thing, but he says it stockishly.
