That
's
to
keep
off
bad
luck
,
"
was
Hare-Lip
's
defence
.
"
You
believe
in
bad
luck
?
"
"
Sure
.
"
"
An
'
you
ai
n't
never
seen
bad
luck
,
"
Edwin
concluded
triumphantly
.
"
You
're
just
as
bad
as
Granser
and
his
germs
.
You
believe
in
what
you
do
n't
see
.
Go
on
,
Granser
.
"
Hare-Lip
,
crushed
by
this
metaphysical
defeat
,
remained
silent
,
and
the
old
man
went
on
.
Often
and
often
,
though
this
narrative
must
not
be
clogged
by
the
details
,
was
Granser
's
tale
interrupted
while
the
boys
squabbled
among
themselves
.
Also
,
among
themselves
they
kept
up
a
constant
,
low-voiced
exchange
of
explanation
and
conjecture
,
as
they
strove
to
follow
the
old
man
into
his
unknown
and
vanished
world
.

The
Scarlet
Death
broke
out
in
San
Francisco
.
The
first
death
came
on
a
Monday
morning
.
By
Thursday
they
were
dying
like
flies
in
Oakland
and
San
Francisco
.
They
died
everywhere
--
in
their
beds
,
at
their
work
,
walking
along
the
street
.
It
was
on
Tuesday
that
I
saw
my
first
death
--
Miss
Collbran
,
one
of
my
students
,
sitting
right
there
before
my
eyes
,
in
my
lecture-room
.
I
noticed
her
face
while
I
was
talking
.
It
had
suddenly
turned
scarlet
.
I
ceased
speaking
and
could
only
look
at
her
,
for
the
first
fear
of
the
plague
was
already
on
all
of
us
and
we
knew
that
it
had
come
.
The
young
women
screamed
and
ran
out
of
the
room
.
So
did
the
young
men
run
out
,
all
but
two
.
Miss
Collbran
's
convulsions
were
very
mild
and
lasted
less
than
a
minute
.
One
of
the
young
men
fetched
her
a
glass
of
water
.
She
drank
only
a
little
of
it
,
and
cried
out
:
"'
My
feet
!
All
sensation
has
left
them
.
'
"
After
a
minute
she
said
,
'
I
have
no
feet
.
I
am
unaware
that
I
have
any
feet
.
And
my
knees
are
cold
.
I
can
scarcely
feel
that
I
have
knees
.
'
"
She
lay
on
the
floor
,
a
bundle
of
notebooks
under
her
head
.
And
we
could
do
nothing
.
The
coldness
and
the
numbness
crept
up
past
her
hips
to
her
heart
,
and
when
it
reached
her
heart
she
was
dead
.
In
fifteen
minutes
,
by
the
clock
--
I
timed
it
--
she
was
dead
,
there
,
in
my
own
classroom
,
dead
.
And
she
was
a
very
beautiful
,
strong
,
healthy
young
woman
.
And
from
the
first
sign
of
the
plague
to
her
death
only
fifteen
minutes
elapsed
.
That
will
show
you
how
swift
was
the
Scarlet
Death
.
