He
had
been
scanning
my
features
as
though
looking
for
a
place
where
he
would
plant
his
fist
.
"
I
will
allow
no
man
,
"
.
.
.
he
mumbled
threateningly
.
It
was
,
indeed
,
a
hideous
mistake
;
he
had
given
himself
away
utterly
.
I
ca
n't
give
you
an
idea
how
shocked
I
was
.
I
suppose
he
saw
some
reflection
of
my
feelings
in
my
face
,
because
his
expression
changed
just
a
little
.
"
Good
God
!
"
I
stammered
,
"
you
do
n't
think
I.
.
.
"
"
But
I
am
sure
I
've
heard
,
"
he
persisted
,
raising
his
voice
for
the
first
time
since
the
beginning
of
this
deplorable
scene
.
Then
with
a
shade
of
disdain
he
added
,
"
It
was
n't
you
,
then
?
Very
well
;
I
'll
find
the
other
.
"
"
Do
n't
be
a
fool
,
"
I
cried
in
exasperation
;
"
it
was
n't
that
at
all
.
"
"
I
've
heard
,
"
he
said
again
with
an
unshaken
and
sombre
perseverance
.
'
There
may
be
those
who
could
have
laughed
at
his
pertinacity
;
I
did
n't
.
Oh
,
I
did
n't
!
There
had
never
been
a
man
so
mercilessly
shown
up
by
his
own
natural
impulse
.
A
single
word
had
stripped
him
of
his
discretion
--
of
that
discretion
which
is
more
necessary
to
the
decencies
of
our
inner
being
than
clothing
is
to
the
decorum
of
our
body
.
"
Do
n't
be
a
fool
,
"
I
repeated
.
"
But
the
other
man
said
it
,
you
do
n't
deny
that
?
"
he
pronounced
distinctly
,
and
looking
in
my
face
without
flinching
.
"
No
,
I
do
n't
deny
,
"
said
I
,
returning
his
gaze
.
At
last
his
eyes
followed
downwards
the
direction
of
my
pointing
finger
.
He
appeared
at
first
uncomprehending
,
then
confounded
,
and
at
last
amazed
and
scared
as
though
a
dog
had
been
a
monster
and
he
had
never
seen
a
dog
before
.
"
Nobody
dreamt
of
insulting
you
,
"
I
said
.
'
He
contemplated
the
wretched
animal
,
that
moved
no
more
than
an
effigy
:
it
sat
with
ears
pricked
and
its
sharp
muzzle
pointed
into
the
doorway
,
and
suddenly
snapped
at
a
fly
like
a
piece
of
mechanism
.
'
I
looked
at
him
.
The
red
of
his
fair
sunburnt
complexion
deepened
suddenly
under
the
down
of
his
cheeks
,
invaded
his
forehead
,
spread
to
the
roots
of
his
curly
hair
.
His
ears
became
intensely
crimson
,
and
even
the
clear
blue
of
his
eyes
was
darkened
many
shades
by
the
rush
of
blood
to
his
head
.
His
lips
pouted
a
little
,
trembling
as
though
he
had
been
on
the
point
of
bursting
into
tears
.
I
perceived
he
was
incapable
of
pronouncing
a
word
from
the
excess
of
his
humiliation
.
From
disappointment
too
--
who
knows
?
Perhaps
he
looked
forward
to
that
hammering
he
was
going
to
give
me
for
rehabilitation
,
for
appeasement
?
Who
can
tell
what
relief
he
expected
from
this
chance
of
a
row
?
He
was
naive
enough
to
expect
anything
;
but
he
had
given
himself
away
for
nothing
in
this
case
.
He
had
been
frank
with
himself
--
let
alone
with
me
--
in
the
wild
hope
of
arriving
in
that
way
at
some
effective
refutation
,
and
the
stars
had
been
ironically
unpropitious
.
He
made
an
inarticulate
noise
in
his
throat
like
a
man
imperfectly
stunned
by
a
blow
on
the
head
.
It
was
pitiful
.
'
I
did
n't
catch
up
again
with
him
till
well
outside
the
gate
.
I
had
even
to
trot
a
bit
at
the
last
,
but
when
,
out
of
breath
at
his
elbow
,
I
taxed
him
with
running
away
,
he
said
,
"
Never
!
"
and
at
once
turned
at
bay
.
I
explained
I
never
meant
to
say
he
was
running
away
from
me
.
"
From
no
man
--
from
not
a
single
man
on
earth
,
"
he
affirmed
with
a
stubborn
mien
.
I
forbore
to
point
out
the
one
obvious
exception
which
would
hold
good
for
the
bravest
of
us
;
I
thought
he
would
find
out
by
himself
very
soon
.
He
looked
at
me
patiently
while
I
was
thinking
of
something
to
say
,
but
I
could
find
nothing
on
the
spur
of
the
moment
,
and
he
began
to
walk
on
.
I
kept
up
,
and
,
anxious
not
to
lose
him
,
I
said
hurriedly
that
I
could
n't
think
of
leaving
him
under
a
false
impression
of
my
--
of
my
--
I
stammered
.
The
stupidity
of
the
phrase
appalled
me
while
I
was
trying
to
finish
it
,
but
the
power
of
sentences
has
nothing
to
do
with
their
sense
or
the
logic
of
their
construction
.
My
idiotic
mumble
seemed
to
please
him
.
He
cut
it
short
by
saying
,
with
courteous
placidity
that
argued
an
immense
power
of
self-control
or
else
a
wonderful
elasticity
of
spirits
--
"
Altogether
my
mistake
.
"
I
marvelled
greatly
at
this
expression
:
he
might
have
been
alluding
to
some
trifling
occurrence
.
Had
n't
he
understood
its
deplorable
meaning
?
"
You
may
well
forgive
me
,
"
he
continued
,
and
went
on
a
little
moodily
,
"
All
these
staring
people
in
court
seemed
such
fools
that
--
that
it
might
have
been
as
I
supposed
.
"
'
This
opened
suddenly
a
new
view
of
him
to
my
wonder
.
I
looked
at
him
curiously
and
met
his
unabashed
and
impenetrable
eyes
.
"
I
ca
n't
put
up
with
this
kind
of
thing
,
"
he
said
,
very
simply
,
"
and
I
do
n't
mean
to
.
In
court
it
's
different
;
I
've
got
to
stand
that
--
and
I
can
do
it
too
.
"
'
I
do
n't
pretend
I
understood
him
.
The
views
he
let
me
have
of
himself
were
like
those
glimpses
through
the
shifting
rents
in
a
thick
fog
--
bits
of
vivid
and
vanishing
detail
,
giving
no
connected
idea
of
the
general
aspect
of
a
country
.
They
fed
one
's
curiosity
without
satisfying
it
;
they
were
no
good
for
purposes
of
orientation
.
Upon
the
whole
he
was
misleading
