- PART ONE
- THE MAN WITH THE WHITE HEAD
- I said:
- I rang the bell and gave my hat and coat to the calming butler.
- I sit down, and I stand again.
- I smiled. “There is no hurry, dear. Wait. I shall be patient. Wait.”
- I looked my amazed question: knew I was looking it.
- I was silent.
- I think of Mildred.
- I fingered the pad. There were almost no other entries.
- I thanked Gavegan: gave him two cigars, and left.
- I telephoned to Mildred.
- I marveled at her.
- MRS. LANDSDOWNE
- I pressed myself from the chair.
- I released her. “You have promised.” And I laid a bill on the table.
- I looked at him in my helplessness.
- I took up the receiver. “Yes,” I said.
- I shook my head. I saw them clear enough.
- I wanted to soothe him with my hand. I could not touch him.
- I felt sorry for him. I nodded.
- I am in my room. My watch says 1.30.
- PART TWO
- THE OTHER ROOM
- I do not answer.
- I spoke:
- I see it clear.
- I shut the door. I am in the black hall.
- I have stopped short at the edge of a limekiln! My feet have held firm!
- PART THREE
- THE CHALLENGE
- L. I. Garage Man Held
- Only Son is Dr. John Mark of Institute
- I am on my couch.
- I arose. And my words came as earnestly for me, as for herself.
- I feared what I saw in her, for it was the worst of myself.
- I knew that I had lost her.
- I drank her beauty like an immortal wine within a cup of death.
- THE END
