A fine doctor from the Arte de Medici e Speziali was
commissioned directly from Rome to oversee her care. She kept trying to shut her legs, to stop the baby from
coming out. She thought of her costume in some detail and with considerable satisfaction,
and particularly of a very jolly property dagger with large glass jewels in the
handle, that reposed in a drawer in her room. “Lucy, this isn’t funny anymore. You've been a great
help these five days; for he had to have attendance constantly, and neither Wu
nor I could have given that. These things were common knowledge among the bon ton, who were
generously welcoming these unfortunate escapees. Why hadn't he gone on with the girl's
story? What instinct had stuffed it back into his throat? Why the inexplicable
impulse to hurry this rather pathetic derelict on his way?
CHAPTER XV
Previous to his illness, Spurlock's mind had been tortured by an appalling worry,
so that now, in the process of convalescence, it might be compared to a pool
which had been violently stirred: there were indications of subsidence, but there
were still strange forms swirling on the surface—whims and fancies which in
normal times would never have risen above sub-consciousness. Then suddenly with a rush came reality, came
“growing up”; a hasty imperative appeal for seriousness, for supreme
seriousness. But—it’s one of the things I’ve
just been thinking over. ‘You’ll come with us and get yourself safe back home to
your convent, understand?’
‘But wait,’ begged Melusine, hanging back. Manning came into her thoughts
again, an unexpected, tall, dark, self-contained presence at the Fadden. Besides, I thought you despised killing women. McClintock's heart went
out to Spurlock; he would always be the boy's friend, even though he had
dragged this girl on to the rocks with him.
