So we did, though Bastin grumbled that the performance made him feel like Pilate. "We are all Pilates in our way," I replied with a sigh. "That is what I think every time I diagnose a case," exclaimed Bickley. As for me I laughed and for some unknown reason felt happier than I had done for months.
With Bickley's permission, I offered them to her and to the Ancient, first peeling them with my fingers. They ate of them greedily, a full meal, and would have gone on had not the stern Bickley, fearing untoward consequences, removed the basket. Again the results were wonderful, for half an hour afterwards they seemed to be quite strong.
There on the top of the sheet was a rough but entirely recognizable portrait of Bickley with the accordion on his head, and underneath, written in a delicate, Italian female hand, absolutely different from his own, were these words taken from one of St. Paul's Epistles "Oppositions of science falsely so called."
Then we announced that we had seen enough of them for that day and would retire to think. Meanwhile we should be obliged if they would build us a house and keep us supplied with whatever food they had. "Do the gods eat?" asked the sceptic again. "That fellow is a confounded radical," I whispered to Bickley. "Tell him that they do when they come to Orofena."
"This one is much greater," went on Oro, casting a glance at Bickley that must have penetrated him like a searchlight. Then he opened the map of Europe and with his finger indicated Germany and Austria-Hungary. "I know nothing of the peoples of these lands," he added, "but as you belong to one of them and are my guests, I trust that yours may succeed in the war."
In the morning I woke up quite determined that I would go to the South Sea Islands, even if I must do so alone. On that same evening Bastin and Bickley dined with me. I said nothing to them about my dream, for Bastin never dreamed and Bickley would have set it down to indigestion.
"That is all very well, Lady Yva, but you may know how to balance it; also when to get on and off." "If you are afraid, Bastin, remain here until your companions return. They, I think, will make the journey." Bickley and I intimated that we would, though to tell the truth, if less frank we were quite as alarmed as Bastin. "No, I'll come too.
Grosvenor and Campbell they had said, "The very thing": they were men of few words, in English, for it was not their native tongue. So Neepy Thang set out. He bought the purple ticket at Victoria Station. He went by Herne Hill, Bromley and Bickley and passed St. Mary Cray. At Eynsford he changed and taking a footpath along a winding valley went wandering into the hills.
After looking at me Bickley replied: "How thankful should you be that in our kindness we have spared you." "What do you come to do?" inquired Marama again. "And I come," broke in Bastin, "to give you new hearts." These announcements evidently caused great excitement.
"If I told you, Humphrey, Bickley would not believe, so I will not tell. Perhaps I saw it in that crystal, as did the necromancers of the early world. Or perhaps the crystal serves some different purpose and I saw it otherwise with my soul. At least what I say is true." "Then who will win?" asked Bastin. "I cannot read the future, Preacher.
