It
was
at
this
point
that
Hare-Lip
rose
to
his
feet
,
an
expression
of
huge
contempt
on
his
face
.
"
Granser
,
"
he
announced
,
"
you
make
me
sick
with
your
gabble
.
Why
do
n't
you
tell
about
the
Red
Death
?
If
you
ai
n't
going
to
,
say
so
,
an
'
we
'll
start
back
for
camp
.
"
The
old
man
looked
at
him
and
silently
began
to
cry
.
The
weak
tears
of
age
rolled
down
his
cheeks
and
all
the
feebleness
of
his
eighty-seven
years
showed
in
his
grief-stricken
countenance
.
"
Sit
down
,
"
Edwin
counselled
soothingly
.
"
Granser
's
all
right
.
He
's
just
gettin
'
to
the
Scarlet
Death
,
ai
n't
you
,
Granser
?
He
's
just
goin
'
to
tell
us
about
it
right
now
.
Sit
down
,
Hare-Lip
.
Go
ahead
,
Granser
.
"
The
old
man
wiped
the
tears
away
on
his
grimy
knuckles
and
took
up
the
tale
in
a
tremulous
,
piping
voice
that
soon
strengthened
as
he
got
the
swing
of
the
narrative
.
"
It
was
in
the
summer
of
2013
that
the
Plague
came
.
I
was
twenty-seven
years
old
,
and
well
do
I
remember
it
.
Wireless
despatches
--
"
Hare-Lip
spat
loudly
his
disgust
,
and
Granser
hastened
to
make
amends
.
"
We
talked
through
the
air
in
those
days
,
thousands
and
thousands
of
miles
.
And
the
word
came
of
a
strange
disease
that
had
broken
out
in
New
York
.
There
were
seventeen
millions
of
people
living
then
in
that
noblest
city
of
America
.
Nobody
thought
anything
about
the
news
.
It
was
only
a
small
thing
.
There
had
been
only
a
few
deaths
.
It
seemed
,
though
,
that
they
had
died
very
quickly
,
and
that
one
of
the
first
signs
of
the
disease
was
the
turning
red
of
the
face
and
all
the
body
.
Within
twenty-four
hours
came
the
report
of
the
first
case
in
Chicago
.
And
on
the
same
day
,
it
was
made
public
that
London
,
the
greatest
city
in
the
world
,
next
to
Chicago
,
had
been
secretly
fighting
the
plague
for
two
weeks
and
censoring
the
news
despatches
--
that
is
,
not
permitting
the
word
to
go
forth
to
the
rest
of
the
world
that
London
had
the
plague
.
"
It
looked
serious
,
but
we
in
California
,
like
everywhere
else
,
were
not
alarmed
.
We
were
sure
that
the
bacteriologists
would
find
a
way
to
overcome
this
new
germ
,
just
as
they
had
overcome
other
germs
in
the
past
.
But
the
trouble
was
the
astonishing
quickness
with
which
this
germ
destroyed
human
beings
,
and
the
fact
that
it
inevitably
killed
any
human
body
it
entered
.
No
one
ever
recovered
.
There
was
the
old
Asiatic
cholera
,
when
you
might
eat
dinner
with
a
well
man
in
the
evening
,
and
the
next
morning
,
if
you
got
up
early
enough
,
you
would
see
him
being
hauled
by
your
window
in
the
death-cart
.
But
this
new
plague
was
quicker
than
that
--
much
quicker
.
