I had plenty of material for reflection. I wanted, now, to look at all this disappearing Brenda business from a new angle. I had a sense of the weaving of plots, and of the texture of them; such a sense as I imagine a blind man may get through sensitive finger-tips. Two new characters had come into my play, and I knew them both for principals.
But despite, or perhaps on account of his complete ineptitude, I had a feeling of sympathy for Turnbull. It must have been very exasperating for him to stand there, roaring out his sincerest convictions and to be received by every one of us with a forbearing contempt. Even Brenda expressed something of pity for him.
Just the sort that you seem to raise over here, and nowhere else. Tells you that you have to take him for a gentleman and nothing else in the first three words he says to you and Brenda seems to like him. I never saw her go off with a man like that on such short notice, for Brenda's pretty proud and cold with men, for all her nice ways and high spirits."
"My Lord," he began, in a voice that even Brenda hardly recognised, "like yourself, I have been unable to find any actual error in the lecturer's demonstrations of which I will take permission to call the possibility of the impossible; in other words, that a contradiction in terms can be true and false at one and the same time.
What do I care to hear the name of a man who has committed so great a crime?" "You must hear it," said the countess, solemnly. "You must learn the name of the man who chained me to him by a bloody, guilt-stained past, and then deserted me. It is Colonel Count Feodor von Brenda!" Elise uttered a cry, and sank, half fainting, back on the cushions of the sofa. But this dejection did not last long.
Sheila pulled out her gun, deliberately aimed and fired. A spurt of snow showed that she had aimed short. But the loud, sudden report made Brenda swerve. All the dogs stopped and slunk together circling, their haunches lowered. Wreck squatted, threw up his head, and howled. Sheila spoke to them, clear and loud, her young voice ringing out into that loneliness. "You Berg! Good dog! Come here."
"Why not speak to Brenda in English, and ask her to try to show us where she is? The Apaches will not understand will think you are talking to your men." "An excellent idea, doctor. I'll try it." Private Tom Clary was sent along both flanks with orders for all yelling to cease and for perfect quiet to be maintained.
I felt that if there was to be any question of making allowances, I wanted to be on the side of Brenda and the Home Farm. But, at the same time, I could not deny that I owed something loyalty, was it? to the Jervaises.
I pictured the return of a disgraced and penitent Brenda, and the temporary re-employment, as an antidote to gossip, of the defeated Banks. They would be parted, of course. She might be taken abroad, or to Scotland, and by the time she returned, he would have been sent back to the country from which he had been injudiciously recalled.
As we were climbing into our ambulance, preparatory to resuming our journey, Brenda said: "If you had reached here three hours earlier you might have had the company of two gentlemen who are riding to La Paz." "Sorry I did not meet them. Who were they?" "Mr. Sage and Mr. Bell from Prescott.
