 have as many of them as she can hold. On the other hand, how many of you can be turned out, as per sample, in England? Yet you choose to destroy yourself. You avail yourself of the Unwritten Law. And you're right, Sir. Love transcends all."

"But does it? What if I told you I had changed my mind?"

"Then, Duke," said Oover, slowly, "I should believe that all those yarns I used to hear about the British aristocracy were true, after all. I should aver that you were not a white man. Leading us on like that, and then— Say, Duke! Are you going to die to-day, or not?"

"As a matter of fact, I am, but"

"Shake!"

"But"

Oover wrung the Duke's hand, and was passing on. "Stay!" he was adjured.

"Sorry, unable. It's just turning eleven o'clock, and I've a lecture. While life lasts, I'm bound to respect Rhodes' intentions." The conscientious Scholar hurried away.

The Duke wandered down the High, taking counsel with himself. He was ashamed of having so utterly forgotten the mischief he had wrought at large. At dawn he had vowed to undo it. Undo it he must. But the task was not a simple one now. If he could say "Behold, I take back my word. I spurn Miss Dobson, and embrace life," it was

 possible that his example would suffice. But now that he could only say "Behold, I spurn Miss Dobson, and will not die for her, but I am going to commit suicide, all the same," it was clear that his words would carry very little force. Also, he saw with pain that they placed him in a somewhat ludicrous position. His end, as designed yesterday, had a large and simple grandeur. So had his recantation of it. But this new compromise between the two things had a fumbled, a feeble, an ignoble look. It seemed to combine all the disadvantages of both courses. It stained his honour without prolonging his life. Surely, this was a high price to pay for snubbing Zuleika Yes, he must revert without more ado to his first scheme. He must die in the manner that he had blazoned forth. And he must do it with a good grace, none knowing he was not glad; else the action lost all dignity. True, this was no way to be a saviour. But only by not dying at all could he have set a really potent example He remembered the look that had come into Oover's eyes just now at the notion of his unfaith. Perhaps he would have been the mock, not the saviour, of Oxford. Better dishonour than death, maybe. But, since die he must, he must die not belittling or tarnishing the name of Tanville-Tankerton.

Within these bounds, however, he must put forth his full might to avert the general catastrophe—and to punish Zuleika nearly well enough, after

 all, by intercepting that vast nosegay from her outstretched hands and her distended nostrils. There was no time to be lost, then. But he wondered, as he paced the grand curve between St. Mary's and Magdalen Bridge, just how was he to begin?

Down the flight of steps from Queen's came lounging an average undergraduate.

"Mr. Smith," said the Duke, "a word with you."

"But my name is not Smith," said the young man.

"Generically it is," replied the Duke. "You are Smith to all intents and purposes. That, indeed, is why I address you. In making your acquaintance, I make a thousand acquaintances. You are a short cut to knowledge. Tell me, do you seriously think of drowning yourself this afternoon?"

"Rather," said the undergraduate.

"A meiosis in common use, equivalent to 'Yes, assuredly, murmured the Duke. "And why," he then asked, "do you mean to do this?"

"Why? How can you ask? Why are you going to do it?"

"The Socratic manner is not a game at which two can play. Please answer my question, to the best of your ability."

"Well, because I can't live without her. Because I want to prove my love for her. Because"

 "One reason at a time please," said the Duke, holding up his hand. "You can't live without her? Then I am to assume that you look forward to dying?"

"Rather."

"You are truly happy in that prospect?"

"Yes. Rather."

"Now, suppose I showed you two pieces of equally fine amber—a big one and a little one. Which of these would you rather possess?"

"The big one, I suppose."

"And this because it is better to have more than to have less of a good thing?"

"Just so."

"Do you consider happiness a good thing or a bad one?"

"A good one."

"So that a man would rather have more than less of happiness?"

"Undoubtedly."

"Then does it not seem to you that you would do well to postpone your suicide indefinitely?"

"But I have just said I can't live without her."

"You have still more recently declared yourself truly happy."

"Yes, but"

"Now, be careful, Mr. Smith. Remember, this is a matter of life and death. Try to do yourself justice. I have asked"

 But the undergraduate was walking away, not without a certain dignity.

The Duke felt that he had not handled his man skilfully. He remembered that even Socrates, for all the popular charm of his mock-modesty and his true geniality, had ceased after a while to be tolerable. Without such a manner to grace his method, Socrates would have had a very brief time indeed. The Duke recoiled from what he took to be another pitfall. He almost smelt hemlock.

A party of four undergraduates abreast was approaching. How should he address them? His choice wavered between the evangelic wistfulness of "Are you saved?" and the breeziness of the recruiting sergeant's "Come, you're fine upstanding young fellows. Isn't it a pity," etc. Meanwhile, the quartet had passed by.

Two other undergraduates approached. The Duke asked them simply as a personal favour to himself not to throw away their lives. They said they were very sorry, but in this particular matter they must please themselves. In vain he pled. They admitted that but for his example they would never have thought of dying. They wished they could show him their gratitude in any way but the one which would rob them of it.

The Duke drifted further down the High, bespeaking every undergraduate he met, leaving untried no argument, no inducement. For one

 man, whose name he happened to know, he invented an urgent personal message from Miss Dobson imploring him not to die on her account. On another man he offered to settle by hasty codicil a sum of money sufficient to yield an annual income of two thousand pounds—three thousand—any sum within reason. With another he offered to walk, arm in arm, to Carfax and back again. All to no avail.

He found himself in the precincts of Magdalen, preaching from the little open-air pulpit there an impassioned sermon on the sacredness of human life, and referring to Zuleika in terms which John Knox would have hesitated to utter. As he piled up the invective, he noticed an ominous restiveness in the congregation—murmurs, clenching of hands, dark looks. He saw the pulpit as yet another trap laid for him by the gods. He had walked straight into it: another moment, and he might be dragged down, overwhelmed by numbers, torn limb from limb. All that was in him of quelling power he put hastily into his eyes, and manoeuvred his tongue to gentler discourse, deprecating his right to judge "this lady," and merely pointing the marvel, the awful though noble folly, of his resolve. He ended on a note of quiet pathos. "To-night I shall be among the shades. There be not you, my brothers."

Good though the sermon was in style and sentiment, the flaw in its reasoning was too patent for

 any converts to be made. As he walked out of the quadrangle, the Duke felt the hopelessness of his cause. Still he battled bravely for it up the High, waylaying, cajoling, commanding, offering vast bribes. He carried his crusade into the Loder, and thence into Vincent's, and out into the street again, eager, untiring, unavailing: everywhere he found his precept checkmated by his example.

The sight of The MacQuern coming out top-speed from the Market, with a large but inexpensive bunch of flowers, reminded him of the luncheon that was to be. Never to throw over an engagement was for him, as we have seen, a point of honour. But this particular engagement—hateful, when he accepted it, by reason of his love—was now impossible for the reason which had made him take so ignominiously to his heels this morning. He curtly told the Scot not to expect him.

"Is she not coming?" gasped the Scot, with quick suspicion.

"Oh," said the Duke, turning on his heel, "she doesn't know that I shan't be there. You may count on her." This he took to be the very truth, and he was glad to have made of it a thrust at the man who had so uncouthly asserted himself last night. He could not help smiling, though, at this little resentment erect after the cataclysm that had swept away all else. Then he smiled to think how uneasy Zuleika would be at his absence.

 What agonies of suspense she must have had all this morning! He imagined her silent at the luncheon, with a vacant gaze at the door, eating nothing at all. And he became aware that he was rather hungry. He had done all he could to save young Oxford. Now for some sandwiches! He went into the Junta.

As he rang the dining-room bell, his eyes rested on the miniature of Nellie O'Mora. And the eyes of Nellie O'Mora seemed to meet his in reproach. Just as she may have gazed at Greddon when he cast her off, so now did she gaze at him who a few hours ago had refused to honour her memory.

Yes, and many other eyes than hers rebuked him. It was around the walls of this room that hung those presentments of the Junta as focussed, year after year, in a certain corner of Tom Quad, by Messrs. Hills and Saunders. All around, the members of the little hierarchy, a hierarchy ever changing in all but youth and a certain sternness of aspect that comes at the moment of being immortalised, were gazing forth now with a sternness beyond their wont. Not one of them but had in his day handed on loyally the praise of Nellie O'Mora, in the form their Founder had ordained. And the Duke's revolt last night had so incensed them that they would, if they could, have come down from their frames and walked straight out of the club, in chronological order—first, the men of the 'sixties, almost as near in

 time to Greddon as to the Duke, all so gloriously be-whiskered and cravated, but how faded now, alas, by exposure; and last of all in the procession and angrier perhaps than any of them, the Duke himself —the Duke of a year ago, President and sole Member.

But, as he gazed into the eyes of Nellie O'Mora now, Dorset needed not for penitence the reproaches of his past self or of his forerunners. "Sweet girl," he murmured, "forgive me. I was mad. I was under the sway of a deplorable infatuation. It is past. See," he murmured with a delicacy of feeling that justified the untruth, "I am come here for the express purpose of undoing my impiety." And, turning to the club- waiter who at this moment answered the bell, he said "Bring me a glass of port, please, Barrett." Of sandwiches he said nothing.

At the word "See" he had stretched one hand towards Nellie; the other he had laid on his heart, where it seemed to encounter some sort of hard obstruction. This he vaguely fingered, wondering what it might be, while he gave his order to Barrett. With a sudden cry he dipped his hand into his breast-pocket and drew forth the bottle he had borne away from Mr. Druce's. He snatched out his watch: one o'clock!-- fifteen minutes overdue. Wildly he called the waiter back. "A tea- spoon, quick! No port. A wine-glass and a tea-spoon. And—for I don't mind

title: Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/248


text:
Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/249

 telling you, Barrett, that your mission is of an urgency beyond conjecture—take lightning for your model. Go!"

Agitation mastered him. He tried vainly to feel his pulse, well knowing that if he found it he could deduce nothing from its action. He saw himself haggard in the looking-glass. Would Barrett never come? "Every two hours"—the directions were explicit. Had he delivered himself into the gods' hands? The eyes of Nellie O'Mora were on him compassionately; and all the eyes of his forerunners were on him in austere scorn: "See," they seemed to be saying, "the chastisement of last night's blasphemy." Violently, insistently, he rang the bell.

In rushed Barrett at last. From the tea-spoon into the wine-glass the Duke poured the draught of salvation, and then, raising it aloft, he looked around at his fore-runners and in a firm voice cried "Gentlemen, I give you Nellie O'Mora, the fairest witch that ever was or will be." He drained his glass, heaved the deep sigh of a double satisfaction, dismissed with a glance the wondering Barrett, and sat down.

He was glad to be able to face Nellie with a clear conscience. Her eyes were not less sad now, but it seemed to him that their sadness came of a knowledge that she would never see him again. She seemed to be saying to him "Had you lived in my day, it is you that I would have loved, not

 Greddon." And he made silent answer, "Had you lived in my day, I should have been Dobson-proof." He realised, however, that to Zuleika he owed the tenderness he now felt for Miss O'Mora. It was Zuleika that had cured him of his aseity. She it was that had made his heart a warm and negotiable thing. Yes, and that was the final cruelty. To love and be loved—this, he had come to know, was all that mattered. Yesterday, to love and die had seemed felicity enough. Now he knew that the secret, the open secret, of happiness was in mutual love—a state that needed not the fillip of death. And he had to die without having ever lived. Admiration, homage, fear, he had sown broadcast. The one woman who had loved him had turned to stone because he loved her. Death would lose much of its sting for him if there were somewhere in the world just one woman, however lowly, whose heart would be broken by his dying. What a pity Nellie O'Mora was not really extant!

Suddenly he recalled certain words lightly spoken yesterday by Zuleika. She had told him he was loved by the girl who waited on him—the daughter of his landlady. Was this so? He had seen no sign of it, had received no token of it. But, after all, how should he have seen a sign of anything in one whom he had never consciously visualised? That she had never thrust herself on his notice might mean merely that she had been

 well brought-up. What likelier than that the daughter of Mrs. Batch, that worthy soul, had been well brought up?

Here, at any rate, was the chance of a new element in his life, or rather in his death. Here, possibly, was a maiden to mourn him. He would lunch in his rooms.

With a farewell look at Nellie's miniature, he took the medicine- bottle from the table, and went quickly out. The heavens had grown steadily darker and darker, the air more sulphurous and baleful. And the High had a strangely woebegone look, being all forsaken by youth, in this hour of luncheon. Even so would its look be all to-morrow, thought the Duke, and for many morrows. Well he had done what he could. He was free now to brighten a little his own last hours. He hastened on, eager to see the landlady's daughter. He wondered what she was like, and whether she really loved him.

As he threw open the door of his sitting-room, he was aware of a rustle, a rush, a cry. In another instant, he was aware of Zuleika Dobson at his feet, at his knees, clasping him to her, sobbing, laughing, sobbing.

“By force can never any expect to win the maid,”

Declared the good King Siegmund; “that hath been always said!

But if thou with thy warriors wilt to her country ride,

An’ we have any friends left, I’ll call them to thy side.”

“Far be it from my purpose,” cried Siegfried, eagerly,

“That when I ride to Rhine-land warriors should follow me,

Like an invading army! I should abhor this thing—

By force the glorious maiden into my arms to bring!

“i will not owe her winning to any other hand;

I and eleven others will ride to Gunther’s land.

Your help, good father Siegmund, I, for this purpose, pray.”

Then gave they to his warriors both coloured stuffs and gray.

His mother heard the tidings, the lady Siegelind,

She fell to grieving over her dear son in her mind;

Fearing lest she might lose him through some of Gunther’s men.

The noble queen refrained not from bitter weeping then.

This seeing, young lord Siegfried to her his way did make,

And unto his dear mother thus tenderly he spake:

“I prithee weep not, lady, because of mine intent;

I have no fear of foemen, nor of disparagement.

“Aid thou me in my journey to the Burgundian land,

That I and my companions may bravely furnished stand

In raiment that shall honour proud heroes, such as we,—

Then will I for this favour, aye thank thee fervently.”

outward voyage really terminated at Calabar, and it terminated gorgeously in fireworks and what not in honour of the coming of Lady MacDonald, the whole settlement, white and black, turning out to do her honour to the best of its ability; and its ability in this direction was far greater than, from my previous knowledge of coast conditions, I could have imagined possible.

Before Sir Claude MacDonald settled down again to local work, he and Lady MacDonald crossed to Fernando Po, still in the Batanga, and I accompanied them, thus getting an opportunity of seeing something of Spanish official circles. I have always been fascinated with the island, on account of its intense beauty and the high ethnological interest of its native inhabitants, and I have had during my previous voyage, and while staying in Cameroon, rather exceptional opportunities of studying both these subjects. I will therefore sketch the result of my observations here, doing so all the more readily, because this has no pretension to being a connected work,—a thing you possibly have already remarked.

I had heard sundry noble legends of Fernando Po, and seen the coast and a good deal of the island before, but although I had heard much of the Governor, I had never met him until I went up to his residence with Lady MacDonald and the Consul-General. He was a delightful person,

 * (2) may proclaim such modification or continuance of any existing duty, such continuance of existing duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties, as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out any such trade agreement.

 * (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no proclamation pursuant to subsection (a)(2) shall be made decreasing a rate of duty to a rate below 40 percent of the rate existing on January 1, 1975.
 * (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case of any article for which the rate of duty existing on January 1, 1975, is not more than 5 percent ad valorem.

 * (c) No proclamation shall be made pursuant to subsection (a)(2) increasing any rate of duty to, or imposing a rate above, the higher of the following:

{{SECTION|SEC. 102.|SEC. 102}}. NONTARIFF BARRIERS TO AND OTHER DISTORTIONS OF TRADE.

 * (a) The Congress finds that barriers to (and other distortions of) international trade are reducing the growth of foreign markets for the products of United States agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce, diminishing the intended mutual benefits of reciprocal trade concessions, adversely affecting the United States economy, preventing fair and equitable access to supplies, and preventing the development of open and nondiscriminatory trade among nations. The President is urged to take all appropriate and feasible steps within his power (including the full exercise of the rights of the United States under international agreements) to harmonize, reduce, or eliminate such barriers to (and other distortions of) international trade. The President is further urged to utilize the authority granted by subsection (b) to negotiate trade agreements with other countries and instrumentalities providing on a basis of mutuality for the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of such barriers to (and other distortions of) international trade. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as prior approval of any legislation which may be necessary to implement an agreement concerning barriers to (or other distortions of) international trade.

 * (b) Whenever the President determines that any barriers to (or other distortions of) international trade of any foreign country or the United States unduly burden and restrict the foreign trade of the United States or adversely affect the United States economy, or that the imposition of such barriers is likely to result in such a burden, restriction, or effect, and that the purposes of this Act will be promoted thereby, the President, during the 5-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, may enter into trade agreements with foreign countries or instrumentalities providing for the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of such barriers (or other distortions) or providing for the prohibition of or limitations on the imposition of such barriers (or other distortions).

 * (c) Before the President enters into any trade agreement under this section providing for the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of a barrier to (or other distortion of) international trade, he shall consult with the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Finance of the Senate, and with each committee of the House and the Senate and each joint committee of the Congress which has jurisdiction over legislation involving subject matters which would be affected by such trade agreement. Such consultation shall include all matters relating to the implementation of such trade agreement as provided in subsections (d) and (e). If it is proposed to implement such trade agreement, together with one or more other trade agreements entered into under this section, in a single implementing bill, such consultation shall include the desirability and feasibility of such proposed implementation.

 * (d) Whenever the President enters into a trade agreement under this section providing for the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of a barrier to (or other distortion of) international trade, he shall submit such agreement, together with a draft of an implementing bill (described in section 151 (b)) and a statement of any administrative action proposed to implement such agreement, to the Congress as provided in subsection (e), and such agreement shall enter into force with respect to the United States only if the provisions of subsection (e) are complied with and the implementing bill submitted by the President is enacted into law.

 * (e) Each trade agreement submitted to the Congress under this subsection shall enter into force with respect to the United States if (and only if)—
 * (1) the President, not less than 90 days before the day on which he enters into such trade agreement, notifies the House of Representatives and the Senate of his intention to enter into such an agreement, and promptly thereafter publishes notice of such intention in the Federal Register;
 * (2) after entering into the agreement, the President transmits a document to the House of Representatives and to the Senate containing a copy of such agreement together with—
 * (A) a draft of an implementing bill and a statement of any administrative action proposed to implement such agreement, and an explanation as to how the implementing bill and proposed administrative action change or affect existing law, and
 * (B) a statement of his reasons as to how the agreement serves the interests of United States commerce and as to why the implementing bill and proposed administrative action is required or appropriate to carry out the agreement; and
 * (3) the implementing bill is enacted into law.

 * (f) To insure that a foreign country or instrumentality which receives benefits under a trade agreement entered into under this section is subject to the obligations imposed by such agreement, the President may recommend to Congress in the implementing bill and statement of administrative action submitted with respect to such agreement that the benefits and obligations of such agreement apply solely to the parties to such agreement, if such application is consistent with the terms of such agreement. The President may also recommend with respect to any such agreement that the benefits and obligations of such agreement not apply uniformly to all parties to such agreement, if such application is consistent with the terms of such agreement.

 * (g) For purposes of this section—
 * (1) the term "barrier" includes th American selling price basis of customs evaluation as defined in section 402 or 402a of the Tariff Act of 1930, as appropriate;
 * (2) the term "distortion" includes a subsidy; and
 * (3) the term "international trade includes trade in both goods and services.

 * The overall United States negotiating objective under sections 101 and 102 shall be to obtain more open and equitable market access and the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of devices which distort trade or commerce. T the maximum extent feasible, the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of agricultural trade barriers and distortions shall be undertaken in conjunction with the harmonization, reduction, or elimination of industrial trade barriers and distortions.

{{SECTION|SEC. 104.|SEC. 104}}. SECTOR NEGOTIATING OBJECTIVE.

 * (a) A principal United States negotiating objective under sections 101 and 102 shall be to obtain, to the maximum extent feasible, with respect to appropriate product sectors of manufacturing, and with respect to the agricultural sector, competitive opportunities for United States exports to the developed countries of the world equivalent to the competitive opportunities afforded in United States markets to the importation of like or similar products, taking into account all barriers (including tariffs) to and other distortions of international trade affecting that sector.

 * (b) As a means of achieving the negotiating objective set forth in subsection (a), to the extent consistent with the objective of maximizing overall economic benefit to the United States (through maintaining and enlarging foreign markets for products of United States agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce, through th development of fair and equitable market opportunities, and through open and nondiscriminatory world trade), negotiations shall, to the extent feasible be conducted on the basis of appropriate product sectors of manufacturing.

 * (c) For the purposes of this section and section 135, the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations together with the Secretary of Commerce, Agriculture, or Labor, as appropriate, shall, after consultation with the Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations established under section 135 and after consultation with interested private organizations, identify appropriate product sectors of manufacturing.

 * (d) If the President determines that competitive opportunities in one or more product sectors will be significantly affected by a trade agreement concluded under section 101 or 102, he shall submit to the Congress with each such agreement an analysis of the extent to which the negotiating objective set forth in subsection (a) is achieved by such agreement in each product sector or product sectors.

{{SECTION|SEC. 105.|SEC. 105}}. BILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTS.

 * If the President determines that bilateral trade agreements will more effectively promote the economic growth of, and full employment in, the United States, then, in such cases, a negotiating objective under sections 101 and 102 shall be to enter into bilateral trade agreements. Each such trade agreement shall provide for mutually advantageous economic benefits.

{{SECTION|SEC. 106.|SEC. 106}}. AGREEMENTS WITH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

 * A United States negotiating objective under sections 101 and 102 shall be to enter into trade agreements which promote the economic growth of both developing countries and the United States and the mutual expansion of market opportunities.

 * (b) Any agreement entered into under section 102 may include provisions establishing procedures for—
 * (1) notification of affected exporting countries,
 * (2) international consultations,
 * (3) international review of changes in trade flows,
 * (4) making adjustments in trade flows as the result of such changes, and
 * (5) international mediation.
 * Such agreements may also include provisions which—

 * (a) A principal United States negotiating objective under section 102 shall be to enter into trade agreements with foreign countries and instrumentalities to assure the United States of fair and equitable access at reasonable prices to supplies of articles of commerce which are important to the economic requirements of the United States and for which the United States does not have, or cannot easily develop, the necessary domestic productive capacity to supply its own requirements.

 * (b) Any agreement entered into under section 102 may include provisions which—
 * (1) assure to the United States the continued availability of important articles at reasonable prices, and
 * (2) provide reciprocal concessions or comparable trade obligations, or both, by the United States.

{{SECTION|SEC. 109.|SEC. 109}}. STAGING REQUIREMENTS AND ROUNDING AUTHORITY.

 * (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the aggregate reduction in the rate of duty on any article which is in effect on any day pursuant to a trade agreement under section 101 shall not exceed the aggregate reduction which would have been in effect on any such day if—
 * (1) a reduction of 3 percent ad valorem or a reduction of one-tenth of the total reduction, whichever is greater, had taken effect on the effective date of the first reduction proclaimed pursuant to section 101(a)(2) to carry out such agreement with respect to such article, and
 * (2) a reduction equal to the amount applicable under paragraph (1) had taken effect at 1-year intervals after the effective date of such first reduction.
 * This subsection shall not apply in any case where the total reduction in the rate of duty does not exceed 10 percent of the rate before the reduction.

 * (b) If the President determines that such action will simplify the computation of the amount of duty imposed with respect to an article, he may exceed the limitation provided by section 101(b) or subsection 9(a) of this section by not more than whichever of the following is lesser:

 clean and sweet. The Liberals will not face the plain consequence that such a state of affairs is hopelessly unstable, that it involves the maximum risk of war with the minimum of permanent benefit and public order. They will not reflect that the stars in their courses rule inexorably against it. It is a vague, impossible ideal, with a rude sort of unworldly moral beauty, like the gospel of the Doukhobors. Besides that charm it has this most seductive quality to an official British Liberal, that it does not exact intellectual activity nor indeed activity of any sort whatever. It is, by virtue of that alone, a far less mischievous doctrine than the crude and violent Imperialism of the popular Press.

Neither of these two schools of policy, neither the international laisser faire of the Liberals, nor "hustle to the top" Imperialism, promise any reality of permanent progress for the world of men. They are the resort, the moral reference, of those who will not think frankly and exhaustively over the whole field of this question. Do that, insist upon solutions of more than accidental applicability, and you emerge with one or other of two contrasted solutions, as the consciousness of kind or the consciousness of individuality prevails in your mind. In the former case you will adopt aggressive Imperialism, but you will carry it out to its "thorough" degree of extermination. You will seek to develop the culture and power of your kind of men and women to the utmost in order to shoulder all other kinds from the earth. If on the other hand you appreciate the unique, you will aim at such a synthesis as this Utopia displays, a synthesis far more cred-

“Since thou wilt not forego it,” did Siegelind declare,

“I’ll help thee on thy journey, my only son and heir!

I will provide apparel, the best e’er warrior wore,—

For thee and thy companions: and ye must take good store.”

Then bowed to the queen-mother Prince Siegfried, the young man,

He said: “On this my journey I’ll take, if so I can,

None save eleven warriors; for these be raiment made.

I long to see how fares it with Kriemhilda,” he said.

So Sieglind’s beauteous ladies sat stitching, night and day,—

There were no idle fingers, and little rest or play,

Until Prince Siegfried’s raiment was ready to his hand.

He’d not forego his journey to the Burgundian land.

His father bade him polish his knightly hamess grand,

Wherewith he meant to ride out of royal Siegmund’s land,

And eke the glitt’ring hauberks they likewise did prepare,

Together with stout helmets, and bucklers broad and fair.

The hour of their departure for Burgundy was nigh,

And men as well as women watched them forebodingly,

Lest they again should never come to their fatherland.

To pack their gear and armour the heroes gave command.

Their chargers were resplendent, their trappings of red gold;

No knight could well be prouder nor had more right to hold

A high head, than Sir Siegfried and his eleven men.

He craved the king’s permission to gallop Rhinewards then.

 who, as a Spanish naval officer, some time resident in Cuba, had picked up a lot of English, with a strong American accent clinging to it. He gave a most moving account of how, as soon as his appointment as Governor was announced, all his friends and acquaintances carefully explained to him that this appointment was equivalent to execution, only more uncomfortable in the way it worked out. During the outward voyage this was daily confirmed by the stories told by the sailors and merchants personally acquainted with the place, who were able to support their information with dates and details of the decease of the victims to the climate.

 For what happened a few moments later you must not blame him. Some measure of force was the only way out of an impossible situation. It was in vain that he commanded the young lady to let go: she did but cling the closer. It was in vain that he tried to disentangle himself of her by standing first on one foot, then on the other, and veering sharply on his heel: she did but sway as though hinged to him. He had no choice but to grasp her by the wrists, cast her aside, and step clear of her into the room.

Her hat, gauzily basking with a pair of long white gloves on one of his arm-chairs, proclaimed that she had come to stay.

Nor did she rise. Propped on one elbow, with heaving bosom and parted lips, she seemed to be trying to realise what had been done to her. Through her undried tears her eyes shone up to him.

He asked: "To what am I indebted for this visit?"

"Ah, say that again!" she murmured. "Your voice is music."

He repeated his question.

"Music!" she said dreamily; and such is the force of habit that "I don't," she added, "know anything about music, really. But I know what I like."

"Had you not better get up from the floor?" he said. "The door is open, and any one who passed might see you."

Softly she stroked the carpet with the palms of her hands. "Happy carpet!" she crooned. "Aye, happy the very women that wove the threads that are trod by the feet of my beloved master. But hark! he bids his slave rise and stand before him!"

Just after she had risen, a figure appeared in the doorway.

"I beg pardon, your Grace; Mother wants to know, will you be lunching in?"

"Yes," said the Duke. "I will ring when I am ready." And it dawned on him that this girl, who perhaps loved him, was, according to all known standards, extraordinarily pretty.

"Will—" she hesitated, "will Miss Dobson be—"

"No," he said. "I shall be alone." And there was in the girl's parting half-glance at Zuleika that which told him he was truly loved, and made him the more impatient of his offensive and accursed visitor.

"You want to be rid of me?" asked Zuleika, when the girl was gone.

"I have no wish to be rude; but—since you force me to say it—yes."

"Then take me," she cried, throwing back her arms, "and throw me out of the window."

He smiled coldly.

"You think I don't mean it? You think I would struggle? Try me." She let herself droop sideways, in an attitude limp and portable. "Try me," she repeated.

"All this is very well conceived, no doubt," said he, "and well executed. But it happens to be otiose."

What do you mean?"

"I mean you may set your mind at rest. I am not going to back out of my promise."

Zuleika flushed. "You are cruel. I would give the world and all not to have written you that hateful letter. Forget it, forget it, for pity's sake!"

The Duke looked searchingly at her. "You mean that you now wish to release me from my promise?"

"Release you? As if you were ever bound! Don't torture me!"

He wondered what deep game she was playing. Very real, though, her anguish seemed; and, if real it was, then—he stared, he gasped—there could be but one explanation. He put it to her. "You love me?"

"With all my soul."

His heart leapt. If she spoke truth, then i

 ndeed vengeance was his! But "What proof have I?" he asked her.

"Proof? Have men absolutely NO intuition? If you need proof, produce it. Where are my ear-rings?"

"Your ear-rings? Why?"

Impatiently she pointed to two white pearls that fastened the front of her blouse. "These are your studs. It was from them I had the great first hint this morning."

"Black and pink, were they not, when you took them?"

"Of course. And then I forgot that I had them. When I undressed, they must have rolled on to the carpet. Melisande found them this morning when she was making the room ready for me to dress. That was just after she came back from bringing you my first letter. I was bewildered. I doubted. Might not the pearls have gone back to their natural state simply through being yours no more? That is why I wrote again to you, my own darling—a frantic little questioning letter. When I heard how you had torn it up, I knew, I knew that the pearls had not mocked me. I telescoped my toilet and came rushing round to you. How many hours have I been waiting for you?"

The Duke had drawn her ear-rings from his waistcoat pocket, and was contemplating them in the palm of his hand. Blanched, both of them,

 yes. He laid them on the table. "Take them," he said.

"No," she shuddered. "I could never forget that once they were both black." She flung them into the fender. "Oh John," she cried, turning to him and falling again to her knees, "I do so want to forget what I have been. I want to atone. You think you can drive me out of your life. You cannot, darling—since you won't kill me. Always I shall follow you on my knees, thus."

He looked down at her over his folded arms,

"I am not going to back out of my promise," he repeated.

She stopped her ears.

With a stern joy he unfolded his arms, took some papers from his breast-pocket, and, selecting one of them, handed it to her. It was the telegram sent by his steward.

She read it. With a stern joy he watched her reading it.

Wild-eyed, she looked up from it to him, tried to speak, and swerved down senseless.

He had not foreseen this. "Help!" he vaguely cried—was she not a fellow-creature?—and rushed blindly out to his bedroom, whence he returned, a moment later, with the water-jug. He dipped his hand, and sprinkled the upturned face (Dew-drops on a white rose? But some other, sharper analogy hovered to him). He dipped and sprinkled. The water-beads broke, mingled—rivulet

 s now. He dipped and flung, then caught the horrible analogy and rebounded.

It was at this moment that Zuleika opened her eyes. "Where am I?" She weakly raised herself on one elbow; and the suspension of the Duke's hatred would have been repealed simultaneously with that of her consciousness, had it not already been repealed by the analogy. She put a hand to her face, then looked at the wet palm wonderingly, looked at the Duke, saw the water-jug beside him. She, too, it seemed, had caught the analogy; for with a wan smile she said "We are quits now, John, aren't we?"

Her poor little jest drew to the Duke's face no answering smile, did but make hotter the blush there. The wave of her returning memory swept on—swept up to her with a roar the instant past. "Oh," she cried, staggering to her feet, "the owls, the owls!"

Vengeance was his, and "Yes, there," he said, "is the ineluctable hard fact you wake to. The owls have hooted. The gods have spoken. This day your wish is to be fulfilled."

"The owls have hooted. The gods have spoken. This day—oh, it must not be, John! Heaven have mercy on me!"

"The unerring owls have hooted. The dispiteous and humorous gods have spoken. Miss Dobson, it has to be. And let me remind you," he added, with a glance at his watch

, "that you ought not to keep The MacQuern waiting for luncheon."

"That is unworthy of you," she said. There was in her eyes a look that made the words sound as if they had been spoken by a dumb animal.

"You have sent him an excuse?"

"No, I have forgotten him."

"That is unworthy of you. After all, he is going to die for you, like the rest of us. I am but one of a number, you know. Use your sense of proportion."

"If I do that," she said after a pause, "you may not be pleased by the issue. I may find that whereas yesterday I was great in my sinfulness, and to-day am great in my love, you, in your hate of me, are small. I may find that what I had taken to be a great indifference is nothing but a very small hate . . . Ah, I have wounded you? Forgive me, a weak woman, talking at random in her wretchedness. Oh John, John, if I thought you small, my love would but take on the crown of pity. Don't forbid me to call you John. I looked you up in Debrett while I was waiting for you. That seemed to bring you nearer to me. So many other names you have, too. I remember you told me them all yesterday, here in this room—not twenty-four hours ago. Hours? Years!" She laughed hysterically. "John, don't you see why I won't stop talking? It's because I dare not think."

"Yonder in Balliol," he suavely said, "you

 will find the matter of my death easier to forget than here." He took her hat and gloves from the arm-chair, and held them carefully out to her; but she did not take them.

"I give you three minutes," he told her. "Two minutes, that is, in which to make yourself tidy before the mirror. A third in which to say good-bye and be outside the front-door."

"If I refuse?"

"You will not."

"If I do?"

"I shall send for a policeman."

She looked well at him. "Yes," she slowly said, "I think you would do that."

She took her things from him, and laid them by the mirror. With a high hand she quelled the excesses of her hair—some of the curls still agleam with water—and knowingly poised and pinned her hat. Then, after a few swift touches and passes at neck and waist, she took her gloves and, wheeling round to him, "There!" she said, "I have been quick."

"Admirably," he allowed.

"Quick in more than meets the eye, John. Spiritually quick. You saw me putting on my hat; you did not see love taking on the crown of pity, and me bonneting her with it, tripping her up and trampling the life out of her. Oh, a most cold-blooded business, John! Had to be done, though. No other way out. So I just used my

 sense of proportion, as you rashly bade me, and then hardened my heart at sight of you as you are. One of a number? Yes, and a quite unlovable unit. So I am all right again. And now, where is Balliol? Far from here?"

"No," he answered, choking a little, as might a card-player who, having been dealt a splendid hand, and having played it with flawless skill, has yet—damn it!--lost the odd trick. "Balliol is quite near. At the end of this street in fact. I can show it to you from the front-door."

Yes, he had controlled himself. But this, he furiously felt, did not make him look the less a fool. What ought he to have SAID? He prayed, as he followed the victorious young woman downstairs, that l'esprit de l'escalier might befall him. Alas, it did not.

"By the way," she said, when he had shown her where Balliol lay, "have you told anybody that you aren't dying just for me?"

"No," he answered, "I have preferred not to."

"Then officially, as it were, and in the eyes of the world, you die for me? Then all's well that ends well. Shall we say good-bye here? I shall be on the Judas Barge; but I suppose there will be a crush, as yesterday?"

"Sure to be. There always is on the last night of the Eights, you know. Good-bye."

"Good-bye, little John—small John," she cried across her shoulder, having the last word.

 Still he kept up a good heart, but when he arrived at the island he found his predecessor had died of fever; and he himself, the day after landing, went down with a bad attack and he was placed in a bed—the same bed, he was mournfully informed, in which the last Governor had expired. Then he did believe, all in one awful lump, all the stories he had been told, and added to their horrors a few original conceptions of death and purgatory, and a lot of transparent semi-formed images of his images of his own delirium. Fortunately both prophecy and personal conviction alike miscarried, and the Governor returned from the jaws of death. But without a moment's delay he withdrew from the Port of Clarence and went up the mountain to Basile, which is in the neighbourhood of the highest native village, where he built himself a house, and around it a little village of homes for the most unfortunate set of human beings I have ever laid eye on. They are the remnant of a set of Spanish colonists, who had been located at some spot in the Spanish possessions in Morocco, and finding that place unfit to support human life, petitioned the Government to remove them and let them try colonising elsewhere.

The Spanish Government just then had one of its occasional fits of interest in Fernando Po, and so shipped them here, and the Governor, a most kindly and generous man, who would have been a credit to any country, established them and their families around him at Basile, to share with him the advantages of the superior elevation; advantages he profoundly believed in, and which he has always placed at the disposal of any sick white man on the island, of whatsoever nationality or religion. Undoubtedly the fever is not so severe at Basile as in the lowlands, but there are here the usual drawbacks to West African high land, namely an over supply of rain, and equally saturating mists, to say nothing of sudden and extreme alternations of temperature, and so the colonists still fall off, and their children die continuously from the various entozoa which abound upon the island.

When the Governor first settled upon the mountain he was very difficult to get at for business purposes, and a telephone was therefore run up to him from Clarence through the forest,

With grief Siegmund and Sieglind accorded his request;

Whom Siegfried sought to comfort, as tenderly he pressed,

He said: “Ye must not weep now through any care for me;

And fear not lest my life be in any jeopardy.”

Sad-hearted were the warriors, and many a maiden wept;

Doubtless their hearts foreboded mischance for those who leapt

That day into the saddle,— they dreamt these friends lay dead,—

They had good cause for mourning, in sooth there was much need!

Upon the seventh morning, at Worms, on the Rhine shore,

Arrived the gallant horsemen; the raiment that they wore

With ruddy gold was flashing, and all their trappings shone:

The chargers of bold Siegfried went pacing smoothly on.

Their bucklers were new-wrought ones, and light and broad beside,

And bright their helmets glittered, as unto court did ride

Siegfried, the gallant chieftain, in royal Gunther’s land.

Such fine-apparelled heroes were ne’er seen on that strand.

Their long-swords’ points hung downwards unto the spurs they wore;

And sharp, too, were the javelins which these bold heroes bore.

The one that Siegfried carried was two spans in the blade,

Its twofold edge was deadly, and ghastly wounds it made.

All gilded were the bridles they lightly held in hand;

And silken were their horse-girths; so came they to that land.

The folk began on all sides on them to gape and stare,

Then many of Gunther’s people ran forth to meet them there.

Rh Great care should be exercised to avoid removing the cutaneous muscles, which are located immediately under the skin. The student should be provided with two rats, one for the study of the muscles, the second for the dissection of the remaining soft parts. Only the larger superficial muscles are included in the following account.

The cutaneous maximus muscle spreads out fanwise from the region of the arm pit. It covers the back from the shoulders to tail, the sides of the trunk posterior to the front leg, and a large part of the ventral surface of the trunk. Its function is to move the skin, in which it is inserted.

The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle which radiates from the posterior angle of the mouth, covers the posterior side of the face and the lateral surface of the neck, and sends a branch up in front of the ear. The broad cervical portion is attached along the middorsal line of the neck.

Exercise X. Sketch the cutaneous maximus and platysma muscles into an outline drawing of the lateral view of the rat.

Carefully remove the two preceding muscles.

Masseter. This muscle consists of two main parts, an external and an internal. Anteriorly these two are distinct, but they blend posteriorly.

Internal part. Origin, the whole length of the zygomatic arch. Insertion, the mandible, posterior to the diastema. Anteriorly the fibers run nearly at right angles to the long axis of the jaw ; posteriorly they form an acute angle with this axis.

42 External part. Origin. It is attached anteriorly to the skull in an elongated pit ventral to the base of the zygomatic process of the maxillary bone. From here a strong flat tendon passes backward over the outer surface of the internal part of the muscle. It originates posteriorly from the posterior half of the zygomatic arch. The anterior and posterior regions blend posteriorly vvdth one another and with the internal part. Insertion, the mandible.

This muscle is a powerful elevator, raising the lower jaw. The anteroposterior fibers, especially of the external part, presumably draw the jaw forward in gnawing.

Temporal Muscle. This is a powerful muscle occupying the posterior part of the orbito-temporal fossa and the side of the head behind it. Origin: the temporal line, the post-tympanic hook, the lateral surfaces of the parietal and squamosal bones, and the posterior wall of the orbito-temporal fossa. Insertion: the coronoid process and the other parts of the mandible. It elevates the lower jaw.

The Quadratus Laibii Superioris Muscle is a triangular structure whose apex is at the anterodorsal angle of the orbito-temporal fossa; it is inserted at its broad end into the whisker pad.

Levator Auris Longus Muscle. It extends from the middorsal line of the neck as far forward as the back of the head, to the base of the auricle of the ear. It pulls the auricle dorsocaudad.

Acromiotrapezius Muscle. Origin, the spines of all the cervical and first four thoracic vertebrae. Insertion: (1) the clavicle; (2) the acromion process and lateral edge of the spinous process of the scapula.

Clavotrapezius Muscle. Origin, the medial half of the

Those high and mighty warriors, and knight as well as squire,

Went out to bid them welcome, as honour did require,

Receiving them with kindness into their master’s land,

Taking their horses, straightway, and bucklers from their hand.

They would have ta’en the chargers, and led them to the stall,

Had not the gallant Siegfried said out, before them all:

“Let mine and my men’s horses stay here, as now they be,—

It is my will and purpose to ride hence presently!

“I pray you therefore tell me— whoever knows this thing

Let him not hide it from me— where I can find your king,

Gunther, the mighty monarch of the Burgundian land?”

Then one among them told him, who knew where he did stand.

“If you would find King Gunther, ’tis easy done, I trow,

In yonder hall I saw him, and thither you must go;

He stands among his heroes; and, if you’ll thither wend,

Full many a glorious warrior you’ll find with him, good friend!”

Unto the king the tidings by this time had been told;

How warriors were arrivéd all gallant to behold,

Who wore white, glitt’ring mail-shirts, and raiment rich and grand,

And no one knew aught of them, in that Burgundian land.

Then was the king astonished, and much he did inquire,

Whence came these splendid warriors, in dazzling bright attire,

And with such well-wrought bucklers, so new and eke so broad;—

It vexed the soul of Gunther that none could give him word.

Rh clavicle. Insertion, the lateral part of the crest that runs dorsally from the external auditory meatus.

Sternomastoideus Muscle. This muscle is anterior, and parallel to, the clavotrapezius. Origin, the anterior end of the manubrium. Insertion, by a tendon to the mastoid bone.

Spinotrapezius Muscle. Origin, (1) the spines of the fourth to the thirteenth thoracic vertebrae; (2) from the lumbodorsal fascia from the level of the thirteenth thoracic to the third lumbar vertebra. Insertion, the scapular spine. It draws the scapula dorsocaudad.

Latissimus Dorsi Muscle. This is a triangular muscle attached at one of its angles to the medial side of the humerus. Origin: the spines of the thoracic vertebrae from the eighth to the twelfth, inclusive, and the lumbodorsal fascia to the level of the third lumbar vertebra. Insertion, by a strong tendon to the medial surface of the humerus. It is also strongly united to the muscles lateral to it in the axillary region. The fibers converge to the tendon of insertion. It pulls the arm caudodorsad.

Acromiodeltoideus Muscle. Origin, the acromion and metacromion processes of the scalpa, and the ventral border of the clavicle. Insertion, the deltoid process of the humerus. The acromiodeltoideus is bipinnate ; the fibers from the clavicle form an acute angle with those from the acromion and metacromion processes where these two groups of fibers join a connective tissue septum ventral to the humerus. This septum forms the connection of the muscle with the deltoid process.

Spinodeltoideus Muscle. Origin, the infraspinous fascia and anterior two-thirds of the spine of the scapula. Insertion: it is united ventrally by an aponeurosis with the free edge of the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. It flexes the humerus and rotates it outward.

44 Triceps Brachii Muscle. This muscle has three heads—the caput longum, caput laterale, and caput mediale.

Caput longum. This head lies on the dorsal side of the upper arm. Origin, the anterior third of the axillary margin of the scapula. Insertion, the olecranon.

Caput laterale. This head lies on the lateral surface of the upper arm. Origin, the larger tubercle of the humerus. Insertion, the olecranon.

Caput mediale. It lies along the dorsal surface of the humerus. It is wedge-shaped, being pointed at the anterior end, but greatly increasing in size posteriorly. Origin, the dorsal and dorsolateral surfaces of the humerus throughout practically the whole ventral surface of the muscle. The pointed anterior end of the muscle reaches nearly to the head of the humerus. Insertion, the olecranon. The caput mediale is not seen superficially, but is found when the caput laterale and caput longum are removed.

External Oblique Muscle. This is a very extensive thin muscle situated laterally and ventrally on the thorax and abdomen. Anterior origin: it is attached along the side of the thorax by a muscular slip to each rib from the fourth to the twelfth. Posterior origin, the lumbodorsal fascia. The anterior slips interdigitate with the posterior slips of the serratus anterior. Insertion: (1) it fastens to a fascia on the ventral surface of the thorax and abdomen; (2) is attached along the whole length of the inguinal ligament (a white, stout, slender ligament extending along the angle between the inner surfaces of the hip and body, from the symphysis pubis to the crest of the ilium); (3) a broad branch of the muscle extends back to the symphysis pubis. Carefully expose all parts of the origins and insertions and determine the muscle's probable action by an inspection of its relations.

Then Ortwein, lord of Metz, spake, and answered thus the king

(Rich and high-couraged was he, and feared not anything):

“Since we know naught about them, bid someone straightway go

And fetch my uncle Hagen, he’ll see them, and may know.

“He knoweth all the kingdoms, and ev’ry stranger-land,

If aught he wot anent them, he’ll make us understand.”

So the king sent to fetch him, him and his liegemen all;—

They watched his stately coming, with warriors, to the hall.

What the king wanted of him? first, Hagen sought to know.

“There are within my palace strange warriors, I trow,

Whom not a soul here knoweth; if thou didst them e’er see,

Declare it now, Sir Hagen, and tell the truth to me!”

“That will I,” answered Hagen, and to the window went;

One saw his keen glance wander, till on the guests it bent.

Well pleased him their equipment, and raiment equally:

But they were strangers to him, ne’er seen in Burgundy.

He spake: “From whencesoever have come these cavaliers,

They must thetnselves be princes, or princes’ messengers.

Their raiment is so splendid, their horses are so good;—

’Tis plain, where’er they come from, they are of noble blood.

“And,” furthermore said Hagen, “though hitherto, I ween

The famous hero Siegfried, mine eyes have never seen,

I cannot help believing, how strange soe’er it be,

That yon proud knight, there standing, can be none else but he!

Biceps Femoris Muscle. This muscle has three portions, or heads—the anterior, posterior, and accessory. The origin of the anterior head is the last sacral and the first caudal vertebra. The posterior and accessory heads originate at the sciatic tuber of the ischium. All three are inserted by an extensive fascia into the distal end of the femur and the proximal two-thirds of the tibia.

Glutaeus Maximus Muscle. This triangular muscle originates by fascia from the dorsal border of the ilium, from the last three sacral vertebrae, and the first caudal vertebra. It is inseparably united anteriorly with the tensor fasciae latae muscle. Its origin is covered posteriorly by the anterior head of the biceps femoris. Insertion, the third trochanter of the femur.

Tensor Fasciae Latae Muscle. Origin, iliac crest. Insertion, fascia lata of the thigh. This muscle is exposed antero-ventrad to the glutaeus maximus.

 He might not have grudged her the last word, had she properly needed it. Its utter superfluity—the perfection of her victory without it— was what galled him. Yes, she had outflanked him, taken him unawares, and he had fired not one shot. Esprit de l'escalier—it was as he went upstairs that he saw how he might yet have snatched from her, if not the victory, the palm. Of course he ought to have laughed aloud— "Capital, capital! You really do deserve to fool me. But ah, yours is a love that can't be dissembled. Never was man by maiden loved more ardently than I by you, my poor girl, at this moment."

And stay!--what if she really HAD been but pretending to have killed her love? He paused on the threshold of his room. The sudden doubt made his lost chance the more sickening. Yet was the doubt dear to him. . . What likelier, after all, than that she had been pretending? She had already twitted him with his lack of intuition. He had not seen that she loved him when she certainly did love him. He had needed

 the pearls' demonstration of that.—The pearls! THEY would betray her. He darted to the fender, and one of them he espied there instantly— white? A rather flushed white, certainly. For the other he had to peer down. There it lay, not very distinct on the hearth's black-leading.

He turned away. He blamed himself for not dismissing from his mind the hussy he had dismissed from his room. Oh for an ounce of civet and a few poppies! The water-jug stood as a reminder of the hateful visit and of. . . He took it hastily away into his bedroom. There he washed his hands. The fact that he had touched Zuleika gave to this ablution a symbolism that made it the more refreshing.

Civet, poppies? Was there not, at his call, a sweeter perfume, a stronger anodyne? He rang the bell, almost caressingly.

His heart beat at sound of the clinking and rattling of the tray borne up the stairs. She was coming, the girl who loved him, the girl whose heart would be broken when he died. Yet, when the tray appeared in the doorway, and she behind it, the tray took precedence of her in his soul not less than in his sight. Twice, after an arduous morning, had his luncheon been postponed, and the coming of it now made intolerable the pangs of his hunger.

Also, while the girl laid the table-cloth, it occurred to him how flimsy, after all, was the evidence that she loved him. Suppose she did no

 thing of the kind! At the Junta, he had foreseen no difficulty in asking her. Now he found himself a prey to embarrassment. He wondered why. He had not failed in flow of gracious words to Nellie O'Mora. Well, a miniature by Hoppner was one thing, a landlady's live daughter was another. At any rate, he must prime himself with food. He wished Mrs. Batch had sent up something more calorific than cold salmon. He asked her daughter what was to follow.

"There's a pigeon-pie, your Grace."

"Cold? Then please ask your mother to heat it in the oven—quickly. Anything after that?"

"A custard pudding, your Grace."

"Cold? Let this, too, be heated. And bring up a bottle of champagne, please; and—and a bottle of port."

His was a head that had always hitherto defied the grape. But he thought that to-day, by all he had gone through, by all the shocks he had suffered, and the strains he had steeled himself to bear, as well as by the actual malady that gripped him, he might perchance have been sapped enough to experience by reaction that cordial glow of which he had now and again seen symptoms in his fellows.

Nor was he altogether disappointed of this hope. As the meal progressed, and the last of the champagne sparkled in his glass, certain things said to him by Zuleika—certain implied criticisms that had rankled, yes—lost their power to d

 iscommode him. He was able to smile at the impertinences of an angry woman, the tantrums of a tenth-rate conjurer told to go away. He felt he had perhaps acted harshly. With all her faults, she had adored him. Yes, he had been arbitrary. There seemed to be a strain of brutality in his nature. Poor Zuleika! He was glad for her that she had contrived to master her infatuation. . . Enough for him that he was loved by this exquisite meek girl who had served him at the feast. Anon, when he summoned her to clear the things away, he would bid her tell him the tale of her lowly passion. He poured a second glass of port, sipped it, quaffed it, poured a third. The grey gloom of the weather did but, as he eyed the bottle, heighten his sense of the rich sunshine so long ago imprisoned by the vintner and now released to make glad his soul. Even so to be released was the love pent for him in the heart of this sweet girl. Would that he loved her in return! . . . Why not?

"Prius insolentem

Serva Briseis niveo colore

Movit Achillem."

Nor were it gracious to invite an avowal of love and offer none in return. Yet, yet, expansive though his mood was, he could not pretend to himself that he was about to feel in this girl's presence anything but gratitude. He might pretend to her? Deception were a very poor return i

 ndeed for all her kindness. Besides, it might turn her head. Some small token of his gratitude—some trinket by which to remember him—was all that he could allow himself to offer. . . What trinket? Would she like to have one of his scarf-pins? Studs? Still more abs— Ah! he had it, he literally and most providentially had it, there, in the fender: a pair of ear-rings!

He plucked the pink pearl and the black from where they lay, and rang the bell.

His sense of dramatic propriety needed that the girl should, before he addressed her, perform her task of clearing the table. If she had it to perform after telling her love, and after receiving his gift and his farewell, the bathos would be distressing for them both.

But, while he watched her at her task, he did wish she would be a little quicker. For the glow in him seemed to be cooling momently. He wished he had had more than three glasses from the crusted bottle which she was putting away into the chiffonier. Down, doubt! Down, sense of disparity! The moment was at hand. Would he let it slip? Now she was folding up the table-cloth, now she was going.

"Stay!" he uttered. "I have something to say to you." The girl turned to him.

He forced his eyes to meet hers. "I understand," he said in a constrained voice, "that you

text:

 regard me with sentiments of something more than esteem.—Is this so?"

The girl had stepped quickly back, and her face was scarlet.

"Nay," he said, having to go through with it now, "there is no cause for embarrassment. And I am sure you will acquit me of wanton curiosity. Is it a fact that you—love me?"

She tried to speak, could not. But she nodded her head.

The Duke, much relieved, came nearer to her.

"What is your name?" he asked gently.

"Katie," she was able to gasp.

"Well, Katie, how long have you loved me?"

"Ever since," she faltered, "ever since you came to engage the rooms."

"You are not, of course, given to idolising any tenant of your mother's?"

"No."

"May I boast myself the first possessor of your heart?"

"Yes." She had become very pale now, and was trembling painfully.

"And may I assume that your love for me has been entirely disinterested? . . . You do not catch my meaning? I will put my question in another way. In loving me, you never supposed me likely to return your love?"

The girl looked up at him quickly, but at once her eyelids fluttered down again.

title: Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/266


text:
Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/267

"Come, come!" said the Duke. "My question is a plain one. Did you ever for an instant suppose, Katie, that I might come to love you?"

"No," she said in a whisper; "I never dared to hope that."

"Precisely," said he. "You never imagined that you had anything to gain by your affection. You were not contriving a trap for me. You were upheld by no hope of becoming a young Duchess, with more frocks than you could wear and more dross than you could scatter. I am glad. I am touched. You are the first woman that has loved me in that way. Or rather," he muttered, "the first but one. And she . . . Answer me," he said, standing over the girl, and speaking with a great intensity. "If I were to tell you that I loved you, would you cease to love me?"

"Oh your Grace!" cried the girl. "Why no! I never dared—"

"Enough!" he said. "The catechism is ended. I have something which I should like to give you. Are your ears pierced?"

"Yes, your Grace."

"Then, Katie, honour me by accepting this present." So saying, he placed in the girl's hand the black pearl and the pink. The sight of them banished for a moment all other emotions in their recipient. She forgot herself. "Lor!" she said.

"I hope you will wear them always for my sake," said the

 Duke.

She had expressed herself in the monosyllable. No words came to her lips, but to her eyes many tears, through which the pearls were visible. They whirled in her bewildered brain as a token that she was loved—loved by HIM, though but yesterday he had loved another. It was all so sudden, so beautiful. You might have knocked her down (she says so to this day) with a feather. Seeing her agitation, the Duke pointed to a chair, bade her be seated.

Her mind was cleared by the new posture. Suspicion crept into it, followed by alarm. She looked at the ear-rings, then up at the Duke.

"No," said he, misinterpreting the question in her eyes, "they are real pearls."

"It isn't that," she quavered, "it is—it is—"

"That they were given to me by Miss Dobson?"

"Oh, they were, were they? Then"—Katie rose, throwing the pearls on the floor—"I'll have nothing to do with them. I hate her."

"So do I," said the Duke, in a burst of confidence. "No, I don't," he added hastily. "Please forget that I said that."

It occurred to Katie that Miss Dobson would be ill-pleased that the pearls should pass to her. She picked them up.

"Only—only—" again her doubts beset her and she looked from the pearls to the Duke.

"Speak on," he said.

"Oh you aren't playing with me, ar

 e you? You don't mean me harm, do you? I have been well brought up. I have been warned against things. And it seems so strange, what you have said to me. You are a Duke, and I—I am only—"

"It is the privilege of nobility to condescend."

"Yes, yes," she cried. "I see. Oh I was wicked to doubt you. And love levels all, doesn't it? love and the Board school. Our stations are far apart, but I've been educated far above mine. I've learnt more than most real ladies have. I passed the Seventh Standard when I was only just fourteen. I was considered one of the sharpest girls in the school. And I've gone on learning since then," she continued eagerly. "I utilise all my spare moments. I've read twenty-seven of the Hundred Best Books. I collect ferns. I play the piano, whenever . . ." She broke off, for she remembered that her music was always interrupted by the ringing of the Duke's bell and a polite request that it should cease.

"I am glad to hear of these accomplishments. They do you great credit, I am sure. But—well, I do not quite see why you enumerate them just now."

"It isn't that I am vain," she pleaded. "I only mentioned them because . . . oh, don't you see? If I'm not ignorant, I shan't disgrace you. People won't be so able to say you've been and thrown yourself away."

title: Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/269


text:
Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/270

"Thrown myself away? What do you mean?"

"Oh, they'll make all sorts of objections, I know. They'll all be against me, and—"

"For heaven's sake, explain yourself."

"Your aunt, she looked a very proud lady—very high and hard. I thought so when she came here last term. But you're of age. You're your own master. Oh, I trust you; you'll stand by me. If you love me really you won't listen to them."

"Love you? I? Are you mad?"

Each stared at the other, utterly bewildered.

The girl was the first to break the silence. Her voice came in a whisper. "You've not been playing a joke on me? You meant what you said, didn't you?"

"What have I said?"

"You said you loved me."

"You must be dreaming."

"I'm not. Here are the ear-rings you gave me." She pinched them as material proof. "You said you loved me just before you gave me them. You know you did. And if I thought you'd been laughing at me all the time—I'd—I'd"—a sob choked her voice—"I'd throw them in your face!"

"You must not speak to me in that manner," said the Duke coldly. "And let me warn you that this attempt to trap me and intimidate me—"

The girl had flung the ear-rings at his face.

title: Page:Zuleika Dobson.djvu/270

 She had missed her mark. But this did not extenuate the outrageous gesture. He pointed to the door. "Go!" he said.

"Don't try that on!" she laughed. "I shan't go—not unless you drag me out. And if you do that, I'll raise the house. I'll have in the neighbours. I'll tell them all what you've done, and—" But defiance melted in the hot shame of humiliation. "Oh, you coward!" she gasped. "You coward!" She caught her apron to her face and, swaying against the wall, sobbed piteously.

Unaccustomed to love-affairs, the Duke could not sail lightly over a flood of woman's tears. He was filled with pity for the poor quivering figure against the wall. How should he soothe her? Mechanically he picked up the two pearls from the carpet, and crossed to her side. He touched her on the shoulder. She shuddered away from him.

"Don't," he said gently. "Don't cry. I can't bear it. I have been stupid and thoughtless. What did you say your name was? 'Katie,' to be sure. Well, Katie, I want to beg your pardon. I expressed myself badly. I was unhappy and lonely, and I saw in you a means of comfort. I snatched at you, Katie, as at a straw. And then, I suppose, I must have said something which made you think I loved you. I almost wish I did. I don't wonder you threw the ear-rings at me. I—I almost wish they had hit me . . . You see, I have quite forgiven you. Now do you forgive

 me. You will not refuse now to wear the ear-rings. I gave them to you as a keepsake. Wear them always in memory of me. For you will never see me again."

The girl had ceased from crying, and her anger had spent itself in sobs. She was gazing at him woebegone but composed.

"Where are you going?"

"You must not ask that," said he. "Enough that my wings are spread."

"Are you going because of ME?"

"Not in the least. Indeed, your devotion is one of the things which make bitter my departure. And yet—I am glad you love me."

"Don't go," she faltered. He came nearer to her, and this time she did not shrink from him. "Don't you find the rooms comfortable?" she asked, gazing up at him. "Have you ever had any complaint to make about the attendance?"

"No," said the Duke, "the attendance has always been quite satisfactory. I have never felt that so keenly as I do to-day."

"Then why are you leaving? Why are you breaking my heart?"

"Suffice it that I cannot do otherwise. Henceforth you will see me no more. But I doubt not that in the cultivation of my memory you will find some sort of lugubrious satisfaction. See! here are the ear- rings. If you like, I will put them in with my own ha

 nds."

She held up her face side-ways. Into the lobe of her left ear he insinuated the hook of the black pearl. On the cheek upturned to him there were still traces of tears; the eyelashes were still spangled. For all her blondness, they were quite dark, these glistening eyelashes. He had an impulse, which he put from him. "Now the other ear," he said. The girl turned her head. Soon the pink pearl was in its place. Yet the girl did not move. She seemed to be waiting. Nor did the Duke himself seem to be quite satisfied. He let his fingers dally with the pearl. Anon, with a sigh, he withdrew them. The girl looked up. Their eyes met. He looked away from her. He turned away from her. "You may kiss my hand," he murmured, extending it towards her. After a pause, the warm pressure of her lips was laid on it. He sighed, but did not look round. Another pause, a longer pause, and then the clatter and clink of the outgoing tray.

“He bringeth us new tidings, here into this our land.

The hardy Niblungs slew he with his own hero-hand,

Both Nibelung and Schilbung, the sons of a rich king.

He hath wrought mighty wonders, by sheer strength vanquishing.

“For riding once, all lonely, and with no help at hand,

He came unto a mountain, (as I did understand,)

Where lay the Niblungs’ treasure, well watched by doughty men,

Who all were strangers to him, until he met them then.

“The treasure of the Niblungs had just beer taken then

Out of a hollow mountain,— (Now hearken, my good men!)

While as the Niblung warriors to share it did prepare,

Young Siegfried came, and saw them: and had good cause to stare.

“He came so nigh unto them that he could see them all,

And they did also see him;— then one of them did call:

‘Here comes the mighty Siegfried, the Netherlander strong?’

He met with strange adventures the Nibelungs among.

“The knight was well received by Schilbung and Nibelung;

And with one voice in counsel those noble lords and young

Cried: ‘Share for us the treasure, thou honourable man!’

And eagerly besought him: so he to share began.

“He saw so many jewels as I have heard men say,

That fivescore waggons scarcely would carry them away;

Yet more there was of red gold, from out the Nib’lungs’ land:

And all must be divided by gallant Siegfried’s hand.

“And unto him for wages they gave the Niblungs’ sword:

But little they foreboded what would be their reward

For rendering this service to Siegfried, the good knight;—

Ere he could end the sharing they had begun to fight.

“They had their friends anear them, twelve gallant arméd men,

Who all were mighty giants,— but what availed them then?

For Siegfried fell upon them and slew them in his ire,

Full seven hundred Niblungs, vanquished in battle dire,

“With their good sword resistless, that was yclept ‘Balmung.’

And through the mighty terror that seized those warriors young,

Dread of the sword, and hero who bravely did it wield;—

Their land and eke their castles unto him did they yield.

“The wealthy kings he also smote, till they both fell dead.

But he himself, through Albrich, was grievously bested,

Who would avenge his masters upon the spot,—till he

Found the great strength of Siegfried beyond his mastery.

“The sturdy dwarf was powerless against him in the fray.

Like lions wild to the mountain they twain then broke away,

Till the Tarnhelm from Albrich he wrested; and thus lord

Became the dreaded Siegfried of all the Niblung hoard.

“They who had dared the battle there, one and all, lay slain.

Then bade he that the treasure be carried back again

Unto the cave, whence erstwhile the Niblungs did it take,

And then did he stout Albrich his treasure-keeper make.
