In the beginning Ah Cum would run his glance speculatively over the assortment and select that individual who promised to be the most companionable. Some trustworthy Chinaman to watch, for a small bribe, while he, James Boyle O'Higgins, enjoyed himself in Hong-Kong, seeing the spring races, the boxing matches, and hobnobbing with Yankee sailors. He made his speech a little elaborately. “Great!” Cathy squealed. I kept them on myself till the sight of your empty chair and the chill loneliness of it all nearly sent me mad. The echo of those kindly words seemed still to ring in her ears. Enschede, to have starved his heart as well as Ruth's because, having laid a curse, he knew not how to turn aside from it! How easily he might have forgotten the unworthy mother in the love of the child! And this day to hear her voice lifted in a quality of anathema. That shining slope of snow, and how we talked of death! We might have died! Even when we are old, when we are rich as we may be, we won’t forget the tune when we cared nothing for anything but the joy of one another, when we risked everything for one another, when all the wrappings and coverings seemed to have fallen from life and left it light and fire.
