Who
knows
?
Sometimes
the
disease
continues
for
twenty
years
.
It
is
a
mercy
when
it
runs
its
course
quickly
.
"
Strickland
went
to
his
easel
and
looked
reflectively
at
the
picture
that
stood
on
it
.
"
You
have
had
a
long
journey
.
It
is
fitting
that
the
bearer
of
important
tidings
should
be
rewarded
.
Take
this
picture
.
It
means
nothing
to
you
now
,
but
it
may
be
that
one
day
you
will
be
glad
to
have
it
.
"
Dr
.
Coutras
protested
that
he
needed
no
payment
for
his
journey
;
he
had
already
given
back
to
Ata
the
hundred
-
franc
note
,
but
Strickland
insisted
that
he
should
take
the
picture
.
Then
together
they
went
out
on
the
verandah
.
The
natives
were
sobbing
violently
.
"
Be
quiet
,
woman
.
Dry
thy
tears
,
"
said
Strickland
,
addressing
Ata
.
"
There
is
no
great
harm
.
I
shall
leave
thee
very
soon
.
"
"
They
are
not
going
to
take
thee
away
?
"
she
cried
.
At
that
time
there
was
no
rigid
sequestration
on
the
islands
,
and
lepers
,
if
they
chose
,
were
allowed
to
go
free
.
"
I
shall
go
up
into
the
mountain
,
"
said
Strickland
.
Then
Ata
stood
up
and
faced
him
.
"
Let
the
others
go
if
they
choose
,
but
I
will
not
leave
thee
.
Thou
art
my
man
and
I
am
thy
woman
.
If
thou
leavest
me
I
shall
hang
myself
on
the
tree
that
is
behind
the
house
.
I
swear
it
by
God
.
