Jack Sheppard warns Thames Darrell
284
VIII. Non. To preach a fine sermon every Sunday so that he would lose neither the art nor
the impulse; and this child, in secret rebellion, taking it down in long hand
during odd hours in the week! Preaching grandiloquently before a few score
natives who understood little beyond the gestures, for the single purpose of
warding off disintegration! It reminded the doctor of a stubborn retreat; from
barricade to barricade, grimly fighting to keep the enemy at bay, that insidious
enemy of the white man in the South Seas—inertia. “She appears to be very popular here,” she remarked. I am having them to my own soirée on
Monday. The
necessity of defending herself and assuming a confident and secure tone did
much to dispell the sense of being exposed and indefensible in a huge dingy
world that abounded in sinister possibilities. He would always see the picture of the
huge, raw-boned Dutchman, haranguing and thundering the word of God into
the dull ears of South Sea Islanders, who, an hour later, would be carrying fruit
penitently to their wooden images. It is no fault of your own that you are not
at this moment standing there with your head blown off.
