John spent the first weeks of summer backpacking in
Europe, and she heard occasional news from Michelle of
his whereabouts. “Perhaps for myself I do
not mind, but this man is sure to find out some day, and he will not like having
been deceived. A tarnish of constraint that had recently spread over her intercourse
with Capes vanished again. “She must be warned. ‘Eh bien, does that mean that you will do it again?’
‘Not if I can help it,’ Gerald uttered, alarmed. But, alas!
she was beautiful—and beauty is a crime not to be forgiven by a jealous woman. Then suddenly he seized a new
preparation bottle that stood upon his table and contained the better part of a
week’s work—a displayed dissection of a snail, beautifully done—and hurled it
across the room, to smash resoundingly upon the cemented floor under the
bookcase; then, without either haste or pause, he swept his arm along a shelf of
re-agents and sent them to mingle with the debris on the floor. It looked
very patient, she thought, and a little self-satisfied. When he
finally telegraphed his startling information to Hong-Kong, it was too late for
O'Higgins to act. Everything had so far come to pass as the withered old
Kanaka woman had foretold. To be sure, Ruth had dimly been aware of this; but now for
the first time she was made painfully conscious of it.
