But the risks are great and the time may be long, and if Marguerite will go I will take her with me as a pledge that I shall not prove false in my mission for you, her people." I read Marguerite's answer in the joy of her eyes, as I heard Col. Hellar say: "That would be fine, if it were possible." But Zimmern shook his head. "No," he said, as if commanding.
Is it possible they have killed the instinct that demands private and individual property in love?" Even as I pondered the problem it seemed answered, for as I sat and talked with Zimmern and Hellar of my chemical demonstration and the coming interview with His Majesty, Marguerite came and seated herself on the arm of my chair and pillowed her head on my shoulder.
Was it possible that it had been I who had misunderstood and that Zimmern's love for Marguerite was of another sort than mine? Tensely I awaited his further words, but I did not dare to look at Marguerite, who had taken her place beside him. "I brought her here," Zimmern continued, "for there was no other place where she could go except into the keeping of some man.
Barbauld set the present reader wondering about these two familiar names, and trying to realise the human beings which they each represented. Miss Zimmern and Miss Oliver in America have each written, and the present writer has written, and various memoirs and letters have appeared in different magazines and papers with allusions and descriptions all more or less interesting.
But her ease only served to impress upon me the greater burden of my responsibility and emphasize the breach of honour of which I was guilty in permitting this expression of my love to a woman whom circumstances had bound to Zimmern. Pleading need for rest and for time to plan my interview with His Majesty, I hastened away, feeling that I dare not trust myself alone with her again.
"Very well," said Grauble; "she has earned her place with us; now that I understand her part, let us proceed." For some hours Hellar and Zimmern explained their reasons for believing the life of the isolated German race was evil and defended their faith in the hope of salvation through an appeal to the mercy and justice of the World State.
Zimmern paced the floor for a time in silence and then, facing me squarely, he said, "I have confessed to you my dissatisfaction with the existing state. In doing this I placed myself in great danger, but I risked that and now I shall risk more. I ask you now, Are you with us to the end?" "Yes," I replied very gravely, "I am with you although I cannot fully understand on what you base your hope."
I had promised Bertha that I would bring her books, but the narrow range of technical books permitted me were obviously unsuitable, nor did I feel that the unspeakably morbid novels available on the Level of Free Women would serve my purpose of awakening the girl to more wholesome aspirations. In this emergency I decided to appeal to my friend, Zimmern.
Jensen regards Pa-sag as a possible phonetic form, but his view is hardly tenable. See Zimmern, Busspsalmen, pp. 60, 61. Cylinder A, cols. iv. and v. Amiaud read the name Nirba. Just published by Hilprecht, Old Babylonian Inscriptions, i. 2, pls. 38-47. Cf. p. 52 VR. col. i. 48. See at close of chapter vi. Hilprecht, ib. no. 87, col i. 30. Ib. i. 32.
"So," repeated Hellar, "so annihilation for Germany, but better so and yet I go on as Director of Information; Dr. Zimmern goes on as Chief Eugenist; and you go on seeking to increase the food supply, and so we all go on as part of the diabolic system, because as individuals we cannot destroy it, but must go on or be destroyed by it. We have riches here and privileges.
