“I told you I did not love you. It is not possible for us to be on friendly terms with a young man who has been seen in a public place, having supper alone with your sister after midnight. Two persons possessing a more comfortable stock of assurance could not be readily found. ‘Jacques?’ she called. She would have been amazed if John was even aware of any one of the incidents. To be free of outward distraction, he shut his eyes and concentrated upon the scraps she had given him; and shortly, with his eyes still closed, he began to describe Ruth's island: the mountain at one end, with the ever-recurring scarves of mist drifting across the lava-scarred face; the jungle at the foot of it; the dazzling border of white sand; the sprawling store of the trader and the rotting wharf, sundrily patched with drift-wood; the native huts on the sandy floor of the palm groves; the scattered sandalwood and ebony; the screaming parakeets in the plantains; the fishing proas; the mission with its white washed walls and barren frontage; the lagoon, fringed with coco palms, now ruffled emerald, now placid sapphire. ” The young man accepted the letter and the message, and seemed about to close the door when a lady issued from one of the front rooms and intervened. The manager stared at the empty doorway for a space, shrugged, and returned to his ledgers. Hurrying on, his progress was soon checked by a strong door, several inches in thickness, and nearly as wide as the passage.
