A stout wooden shutter, opening inwardly, being removed, disclosed a grating of iron bars. "How would you like a job on a copra plantation?" he asked, irrelevantly to the thoughts crowding one another in his mind. "On Friday," he replied. “Miss Pellissier,” he said, “don’t!” “Why not?” she asked, smiling. A tall elegantly dressed woman, followed by a maid, came down the broad staircase. Her head ached with a hollow pain. “Why not?” he exclaimed. Her first intimations of marriage as a fact of extreme significance in a woman’s life had come with the marriage of Alice and the elopement of her second sister, Gwen. 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.
