"
Necessary
danger
to
life
?
"
Douglas
completed
my
thought
.
"
She
did
wish
to
learn
,
and
she
did
learn
.
You
shall
hear
tomorrow
what
she
learned
.
Meanwhile
,
of
course
,
the
prospect
struck
her
as
slightly
grim
.
She
was
young
,
untried
,
nervous
:
it
was
a
vision
of
serious
duties
and
little
company
,
of
really
great
loneliness
.
She
hesitated
--
took
a
couple
of
days
to
consult
and
consider
.
But
the
salary
offered
much
exceeded
her
modest
measure
,
and
on
a
second
interview
she
faced
the
music
,
she
engaged
.
"
And
Douglas
,
with
this
,
made
a
pause
that
,
for
the
benefit
of
the
company
,
moved
me
to
throw
in
--
"
The
moral
of
which
was
of
course
the
seduction
exercised
by
the
splendid
young
man
.
She
succumbed
to
it
.
"
He
got
up
and
,
as
he
had
done
the
night
before
,
went
to
the
fire
,
gave
a
stir
to
a
log
with
his
foot
,
then
stood
a
moment
with
his
back
to
us
.
"
She
saw
him
only
twice
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
that
's
just
the
beauty
of
her
passion
.
"
A
little
to
my
surprise
,
on
this
,
Douglas
turned
round
to
me
.
"
It
was
the
beauty
of
it
.
There
were
others
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
who
had
n't
succumbed
.
He
told
her
frankly
all
his
difficulty
--
that
for
several
applicants
the
conditions
had
been
prohibitive
.
They
were
,
somehow
,
simply
afraid
.
It
sounded
dull
--
it
sounded
strange
;
and
all
the
more
so
because
of
his
main
condition
.
"
"
Which
was
--
?
"
"
That
she
should
never
trouble
him
--
but
never
,
never
:
neither
appeal
nor
complain
nor
write
about
anything
;
only
meet
all
questions
herself
,
receive
all
moneys
from
his
solicitor
,
take
the
whole
thing
over
and
let
him
alone
.
She
promised
to
do
this
,
and
she
mentioned
to
me
that
when
,
for
a
moment
,
disburdened
,
delighted
,
he
held
her
hand
,
thanking
her
for
the
sacrifice
,
she
already
felt
rewarded
.
"
"
But
was
that
all
her
reward
?
"
one
of
the
ladies
asked
.
"
She
never
saw
him
again
.
