The things there ARE, Remington, they'll never face! the wonder and the depth of life, lust, and the night-sky, pain." "But the good intention," I pleaded, "the Good Will!" "Sentimentality," said Britten. "No Good Will is anything but dishonesty unless it frets and burns and hurts and destroys a man. That lot of yours have nothing but a good will to think they have good will.
"This is a dirty world, Britten, simply because it is a muddled world, and the thing you call morality is dirtier now than the thing you call immorality. Why don't the moralists pick their stuff out of the slime if they care for it, and wipe it? damn them! I am burning now to say: 'Yes, we did this and this, to all the world. All the world!... I will!"
The rest of the afternoon was taken up with inspection of the ship, the arrangements for the safe-keeping of the "Winged Arrow," and the laying of plans. Immediately after the hydroplane had been moored to a small pier owned by Captain Britten, the tug-boat chugged out into the Gulf of Mexico at the rate of ten knots.
Evolution, some illuminating talker had remarked at the Britten lunch table, had led not only to man, but to the liver-fluke and skunk, obviously it might lead anywhere; order came into things only through the struggling mind of man. That lit things wonderfully for us.
She clapped her hands so loud that I thought they would hear us on the Promenade des Anglais below. "I'll do it, Britten as I'm a living woman I'll do it. Go and bring your clothes. We may not have an hour to spare. I'll cheat them yet, Britten. Oh, you clever man you clever man to have thought of it." "We might start at dusk, madame.
She looked at me thoughtfully. "And where should I go, Britten?" "Back to Paris, madame they won't interfere with you there." "But my husband my dear husband?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Perhaps Mahomet will come to the er em to you, madame." It was her turn to laugh; but I soon learned that my suggestion was no good to her, and for a very simple reason.
There was a twinkle in his little eyes you could not mistake, and he shook his head while he talked to me, just as though I were buying old clothes of him at twice their value. "Britten," he asked, "are you all ready?" "Quite ready, sir," said I for I'd just that minute shoved my knife into another tyre. "Are you going back to Sandwich?"
The cars began to pass me, and, warned by my presence, they took that awful corner safely; but not a man of their drivers guessed that a good fellow had gone over, and that I was half mad because of it. Away they went, with a nod and a shout, leaving that cold silence of the mountains behind them, and Lal Britten crying like a woman because they didn't stay.
What of ARVONIAN? Richard Arvon was our founder, and it seems almost a duty " "They call them all -usians or -onians," said Britten. "I like CITY MERCHANDIZE," I said. "We could probably find a quotation to suggest oh! mixed good things." Cossington regarded me abstractedly.
Well, you go down to the Bedford Mews, No. 23B, and tell me if you can get the thing going by ten o'clock to-morrow as far as Watford, Britten. That's the place, Watford. I've something on down there something very important. Upon my soul, I don't know why I shouldn't tell you. It's about a lady, Britten ha, ha! about a lady."
