During those years Wilbur had kept secret his pride in his brother, his exultation that Merle should have been called for this high eminence and not found wanting. There had been no one to whom he could reveal it, except to Winona, perhaps in little flashes.
"Right you are," said the doctor, "we'll give you all the water you want, just in a minute. Now," he continued as he led the boy into the house, "let's have a look at the trouble." But Wilbur interposed. "This Forest Service," he said, smiling, "is the worst that ever happened for having to obey orders, and Mr. Merritt put me in charge of your wife, not you."
Other men came in and began talking, leading from his wife's success toward his own, until Wilbur realised himself as dazzled.
When he said that he made a hole in nine, he meant nine or thereabouts approximately nine; nice people, he thought, should let it go at that. So he became feared on the course, not only for his actual prowess but for his matchless optimism in casting up his score. He was a pleased man, and considered golf a good game; and he never forgot that Wilbur Cowan had made him the golfer he was.
But on the present occasion his greeting was grave and eager. "Wilbur sick? I feared as much. I warned Pauline two months ago that he was overworking, and only last week I told him that he would break down if he did not go away for a fortnight's rest." "I wish you had spoken to me." Selma noted with satisfaction that there was no raillery in his manner now. He bent his gaze on her searchingly.
As the action of that night's events became more and more accelerated, Wilbur could not but notice the change in Moran. It was very evident that the old Norse fighting blood of her was all astir; brutal, merciless, savage beyond all control. A sort of obsession seized upon her at the near approach of battle, a frenzy of action that was checked by nothing that was insensible to all restraint.
The coolie lay quite unconscious, his eyes wide open, drawing a faint, quick breath at irregular intervals. "What do you think, mate?" asked Moran in a low voice. "I think he's got it through the lungs," answered Wilbur, frowning in distress and perplexity. "Poor old Charlie!" Moran went down on a knee, and put a finger on the slim, corded wrist, yellow as old ivory.
The subtlest oligarchy of modern times was about to crumble. The revolution was at hand. A succeeding number of the New Dawn let out the horrid truth about the war, telling it in simple words that even Wilbur Cowan could understand. Having sold munitions to the warring nations, we must go in to save our money.
"'An extraordinary incident! exclaimed Lee Fu in conclusion. 'I am deeply interested. It is a crowning stroke that he has not seen fit to change the name of the vessel. All is as it was before, when the well-known and reputable Captain Wilbur commanded his fine ship, the "Speedwell," on voyages to the East. "'Does the crowd have anything to do with him? I asked.
She would have produced it in the same degree, had she not been in the least attractive. It was compelling, and at the same time irritating. Von Rosen in his Morris chair after the tea welcomed the intrusion of Jane Riggs, which dispelled his thought of Mrs. Wilbur Edes.
