He
stopped
suddenly
,
as
suddenly
as
thought
his
mouth
had
been
shut
by
the
jerk
of
a
string
.
We
waited
;
when
he
went
on
he
spoke
with
a
caution
that
was
new
to
him
,
as
though
he
wished
to
forestall
our
asking
any
questions
:
"
I
am
not
at
liberty
to
mention
anything
of
my
mission
;
where
it
was
to
,
what
it
was
for
,
or
anything
at
all
about
it
.
Such
matters
are
in
confidence
between
Mr.
Trelawny
and
myself
;
I
am
pledged
to
absolute
secrecy
.
"
He
paused
,
and
an
embarrassed
look
crept
over
his
face
.
Suddenly
he
said
:
"
You
are
sure
,
Miss
Trelawny
,
your
Father
is
not
well
enough
to
see
me
today
?
"
A
look
of
wonderment
was
on
her
face
in
turn
.
But
it
cleared
at
once
;
--
she
stood
up
,
saying
in
a
tone
in
which
dignity
and
graciousness
were
blended
:
"
Come
and
see
for
yourself
!
"
She
moved
toward
her
father
's
room
;
he
followed
,
and
I
brought
up
the
rear
.
Mr.
Corbeck
entered
the
sick-room
as
though
he
knew
it
.
There
is
an
unconscious
attitude
or
bearing
to
persons
in
new
surroundings
which
there
is
no
mistaking
.
Even
in
his
anxiety
to
see
his
powerful
friend
,
he
glanced
for
a
moment
round
the
room
,
as
at
a
familiar
place
.
Then
all
his
attention
became
fixed
on
the
bed
.
I
watched
him
narrowly
,
for
somehow
I
felt
that
on
this
man
depended
much
of
our
enlightenment
regarding
the
strange
matter
in
which
we
were
involved
.
It
was
not
that
I
doubted
him
.
The
man
was
of
transparent
honesty
;
it
was
this
very
quality
which
we
had
to
dread
.
He
was
of
that
courageous
,
fixed
trueness
to
his
undertaking
,
that
if
he
should
deem
it
his
duty
to
guard
a
secret
he
would
do
it
to
the
last
.
The
case
before
us
was
,
at
least
,
an
unusual
one
;
and
it
would
,
consequently
,
require
more
liberal
recognition
of
bounds
of
the
duty
of
secrecy
than
would
hold
under
ordinary
conditions
.
To
us
,
ignorance
was
helplessness
.
If
we
could
learn
anything
of
the
past
we
might
at
least
form
some
idea
of
the
conditions
antecedent
to
the
attack
;
and
might
,
so
,
achieve
some
means
of
helping
the
patient
to
recovery
.
There
were
curios
which
might
be
removed
...
.
My
thoughts
were
beginning
to
whirl
once
again
;
I
pulled
myself
up
sharply
and
watched
.
There
was
a
look
of
infinite
pity
on
the
sun-stained
,
rugged
face
as
he
gazed
at
his
friend
,
lying
so
helpless
.
The
sternness
of
Mr.
Trelawny
's
face
had
not
relaxed
in
sleep
;
but
somehow
it
made
the
helplessness
more
marked
.
It
would
not
have
troubled
one
to
see
a
weak
or
an
ordinary
face
under
such
conditions
;
but
this
purposeful
,
masterful
man
,
lying
before
us
wrapped
in
impenetrable
sleep
,
had
all
the
pathos
of
a
great
ruin
.
The
sight
was
not
a
new
one
to
us
;
but
I
could
see
that
Miss
Trelawny
,
like
myself
,
was
moved
afresh
by
it
in
the
presence
of
the
stranger
.
Mr.
Corbeck
's
face
grew
stern
.
All
the
pity
died
away
;
and
in
its
stead
came
a
grim
,
hard
look
which
boded
ill
for
whoever
had
been
the
cause
of
this
mighty
downfall
.
This
look
in
turn
gave
place
to
one
of
decision
;
the
volcanic
energy
of
the
man
was
working
to
some
definite
purpose
.
