‘And I love the way you call me imbecile,’ finished Gerald. Neither
father, aunt, nor brothers made a sign, and then one afternoon in early February
her aunt came up in a state between expostulation and dignified resentment, but

grandfather insisted on coming with me, so I had to wait for him to be ready and
travel at his pace. There was a hint of tears in her voice. The face of the man who lay there was clearly visible. Were I a painter of subject pictures, I would exhaust all my skill in proportion
and perspective and atmosphere upon the august seat of empire, I would present
it gray and dignified and immense and respectable beyond any mere verbal
description, and then, in vivid black and very small, I would put in those
valiantly impertinent vans, squatting at the base of its altitudes and pouring out a
swift, straggling rush of ominous little black objects, minute figures of
determined women at war with the universe. To preach a fine sermon every Sunday so that he would lose neither the art nor
the impulse; and this child, in secret rebellion, taking it down in long hand
during odd hours in the week! Preaching grandiloquently before a few score
natives who understood little beyond the gestures, for the single purpose of
warding off disintegration! It reminded the doctor of a stubborn retreat; from
barricade to barricade, grimly fighting to keep the enemy at bay, that insidious
enemy of the white man in the South Seas—inertia.
