SYNOPSIS Dr John Wolfe, young and capable assistant of the inefficient old Dr Montague Threadgold. is shocked at the pollution he finds everywhere in the little town of Navestock. The young doctors greatest obstacle in trying to better conditions is the bitter resent-1 tnent of the people themselves. The affable Threadgold appears more interested in humoring his patients' and fattening his purse than he is I in curing their ills. He cautions' Wolfe against using necessary “expensive" medicines when the “ordinary' - preparations will do. Wolfe i would be tempted to give up if it I were not for lovely, young Jess| Mascall. whose sincerity and cou-l rageous outlook are an incentive to keep fighting. Filled with curiosity I as to how Wolfe spends his time. Mrs. Threadgold searches his room and finds a map he has prepared: showing Navestock's polluted areas. She informs her husband of what she calls Wolfe's “gross disloyalty and underhand spying” and sug- ; Rests that her husband either make | him discontinue his researches or discharge him. Wolfe is summoned to a case of sunstroke in the “Pardons" fields, the estate of the wealthy Brandons. CHAPTER NINETEEN The sunburnt man led Wolfe along a path beside the river. The fields, shorn by the scythe, were a brownish yellow; and the scattered earth, ploughed up in lines and patches by the moles, a pale, dry brown. Westwards, “Pardons” rose as a great mound of green shadows, its twisted chimneys showing above the solemn spires of its cedars. The garden, sloping towards the river, was splashed here and there with onlnur “Pardons” was famous for < its lawns, sleek, sun-streaked stretches of grass speading in long curves under the motionless canopies of its trees. The place satis- i fied the eyes with its calm, cool opulence. Between the dark trunks of the cedars Wolfe saw the fishponds glimmering, studded with the green leaves and the white-and-yellow cups of the water-lilies. Be- i yond the house spread the park, clasped by a red-brick wall that rose and fell with the undulations of the ground. Deer herded there amid the bracken, and about the clumps of beech trees that were like great temples paved with bronze. Some of the old oaks were mere huge, grey shells stretching out a few twisted limbs like monsters defying Time. Between the park and the garden ran yew hedges twenty feet high, black as midnight, and as solemn. The field under the park wall was fragrant with tossed and sunscorched hay. Only half of it had been mown, the fresh swatches lyi ing at the purple edge of the uncut grass. Men had thrown down their scythes, women their rakes and forks. They had huddled themselves in a group under the boughs of an oak that grew close to the park wall, the pink-and-white sun-bon-nets of the women mixed with the hats of the men. A crowd never seems to think It Is a mere amori phous mass, an amoeba-like thing that flows, and emits jelly-like pro- ‘ trusions when stimulated by curiosity. sympathy, and fear. Wolfe pushed through. “Get back, please, get back " The circle enlarged itself like a smoke ring, with irregular undulations At the foot of the tree they had laid a man on a couple of smocks and rolled up another under his head. His face was dead-white with a queer glistening whiteness, his body flaccid, his eyes closed He was unconscious, and breathing very feebly. A woman in a blueprint bodice end a white apron was kneeling beside film and mopping his tace with a wet rag. 1 The haymakers stared at Wolfe, but Wolfe looked only at the man

Ks 1S1! i/ 111 Ira p.-J -ft •w|, nr r At the foot of the tree they had laid a man. His face was dead-white with a queer glistening whiteness.

He bent down, and put a hand inside his shirt. “When did it happen?” The woman with the wet rag answered him through her blubberings. “Not an hour past, doctor.” “After a meal, eh?” “Yes, sir.” “And plenty of drink?” She looked at him with humid eyes pleading pitifully in a wrinkled, ugly face. “ 'E be'n’t dying, doctor?” Wolfe was silent, feeling the beat of the man’s heart. “Oh, don’t say it be death, sir. He was such a lusty chap. He was laughing over 'is beer." “I'm sorry. But he's bad." The woman began to sob, the strings of her sunbonnet twitching upon her shoulders. Wolfe was raising the man’s lids when a voice came from somewhere, a deep, languid, mellow voice, and if colour can be ascribed .to voices, the colour of gold under trees at twilight. The country folk moved aside. The woman in the blue bodice sat up and wiped her eyes with the wet rag. “Who is it?” “Tom Bott, ma’am.” “A sunstroke." “Dr. Threadgold’s man be here.” Wolfe, half turning, saw a woman in a white dress moving from the open sunlight into the shade of the oak. She seemed to glide rather than to walk in the cloud-like expanse of her crinoline. She was a very tall woman, and a mass of auburn hair surrounded a face that was white and smooth as ivory This hair of hers was the colour of copper in certain lights: in others—al) dusted over with reddish gold: and though her face was so smooth and white, the red mouth streaked it with a colour that was almost the colour of blood Her eyes, dark and large, were filled with an expression as of inexpressible ennui that drowned the light in them, and made them resemble the eyes of one who suffered. Wolfe rose. He knew by instinct that this woman was the mistress of “Pardons." owner of a third of Navestock town, mother of that rough-riding youngster whom he had pulled up once irt Bridge Street. Mrs. Brandon moved across the grass under the shade of the oak. She was still young, not more than thirty, but her face laded all animat.inn prn»»d. borerj. dead face of a woman who no longer enjoyed anything She looked at the unconicimm man and the weeping woman

as though she were staring at some picture crowded amid a thousand others into the gallery of life. She had grown tired of looking at pictures. Her eyes said as much. "Is it a bad case?” “I am afraid so.” “Give any orders that you wish. He can be taken up to any of my cottages.” “Thank you." Wolfe called some of the men and told them to fetch a hurdle or a door and a sheet wrung out in cold water Happening to turn again towards Mrs. Brandon, he found her eyes fixed on him with a vague and careless curiosity. Wolfe was struck by one of those flashes of surprise that strike across the clear calm of a strong man’s consciousness. He felt suddenly and unaccountably embarrassed. like a raw youth in a drawingroom. He looked at her and realized that she was a woman to whom he had nothing at all to say. His abrupt uneasiness betrayed itself in a certain brusquerie. “I may send to the house for anything I want?” “Please do.” “I suppose there is not such a thing as ice to be had?" “No, I suppose not.” She turned away to speak f.o the woman in the blue bodice and white apron, and Wolfe bent over the unconscious man. Yet he could not prevent himself from listening to the beautifully casual voice of the woman in white. She spoke as a statue might be expected to speak, coldly, perfectly yet without sympathy Wolfe felt a strange mingling of repulsion and interest He found himself wondering whether this woman who had so fair a face and body had always carried a halfdead soul. When he rose again, Mrs. Brandon had moved away end her hair gleamed in the sunlig. The white figure showed up io isolation against the shorn grass The sun- ; light seemed to fall away from it as though there was nothing that . the golden arms could clasp i The man came back with a hurdle ’ covered with horse-cloths, and one : of them carried a wet sheet The ! summer day. that had stood sloth- . fully still in the presence of the I great lady, moved on again Into action Wolfe drew a deep breath of i relief.
