CHAPTER 111 “I’ve come to say good-by, father. Orestes and I start tomorrow.” “I'm sorry,, Hermione —I don’t want to lose you. And going off with that—” "Don't say anything against him, father! You’ll understand him better perhaps, some day.” “Well, you know what I think of It all,” said Menelaos. “You’ll probably starve, or you would if you hadn't something to fall back on besides your husband. I’ve asked Eteoneus to put together some food and some treasure; one of the men will carry it wherever you tell him to.” "Thank you, father, but I can’t take it. Unless you have changed

your mind and will receive Orestes.” “I’ll never speak to him!” said Menelaos. “You see why I can’t take it. Good-by, father.” “You can do this at least,” said Menelaos. “If ever you are in serious trouble, let me know. There’s no point in your going without when your mother and I have plenty.” "You’ll never hear from me again,” said Hermione, “unless you accept my husband.” "Isn’t it enough for you to marry him?” said Menelaos. “Must I love him, too?” “You know very well what I mean; unless you treat Orestes like a normal son-in-law, and not like a criminal, I cannot consider myself any longer a member of this family.” “Well, there’s nothing to say then. Good-by. Tell Eteoneus, as you go out, to unpack those things.” “Oh, there's one thing I meant to say, and I almost forgot," said Hermipne. “I think you’re a little hard on mother.” “Hard on your mother, did you say? Since when?” “Ever since you came back—though I realized it only recently. You misjudge her, and you say things to her that might be interpreted as criticism. A person as sensitive as she is must find her position at times uncomfortable. I hope, for your sake, and hers, you’ll try to get her point of view.” “I had no idea the curse worked so quickly!” said Menelaos. “You’ve lost your mind.” “Don’t worry about that curse, father—it isn’t going to come off, I’ve still the same mind I inherited, and you used to say I took after you. Mother and I disagreed about Orestes, and in general she and I are quite different, but I’m just beginning to see her auality. “There’s nothfig little about her. She’s magnanimous. You know how she always says to do your criticizing in advance, and afterward drop it? I had no idea she would live up to that if she had to do the forgiving. “But when we learned that Orestes had killed her sister, did you notice how quickly she pulled herself together and refused to expel Orestes from the family circle?” “A parable for my benefit, eh?”

said Menelaos. “It’s clever—l see your brain is still working, ter, but so is mine. Orestes is outside the family circle, so far as I’m concerned. I’ve my own opinion of your mother’s magnanimity. “You say I fail to understand your mother. You’re quite right. The only thing about her I understand is her looks, and I don’t understand how they last so well.” “Father. I’m the last one to say mother treated you kindly ,or behaved pioperly. I meant only that she has a magnanimous side I hadn’t noticed and perhaps you haven’t noticed either. “She can allow for a different point of view, and she’s not stubborn. You are, father, a little bit, you know, and perhaps that’s why you don’t get on better with her.” "I don’t know what Orestes would say if he heard this talk,” said Menelaos, “but it bodes no good for him. He may prove to be as forgiving a husband as I have been, but will he get the slightest credit for it? No! They’ll say that you are magnanimous!” “Father, are you getting mixed in your figures of speech, or do you really expect me to duplicate mother’s career? Not even Orestes thinks I have the equipment. Since he saw mother, he has praised me for everything but my looks.” “But he hasn’t seen her since he was a baby!” “He saw her two days ago—had a very satisfactory talk with her. That’s awfully fine when you come to think of it; his mother was her sister, yet she was positively sympathetic, Orestes said, and didn’t upbraid him.” * “Again I get your meaning,” said Menelaos. “If Helen, with a greater grief, can forgive Orestes and treat him cordially, why cannot Menelaos, who, after all, lost no relative by the sword of Orestes—only an unwelcome guest. Well, there’s r6om for only one remarkable person of that kind in this family. I give way to Helen.” “You really are mistaken,” said Hermione. “Os course, you think I am speaking for Orestes, but really it’s for you. Orestes and I are going on a journey, and whether or not you appreciate him is only a matter of sentiment with me. “But I’d like to feel that you and mother were entirely happy again—my own happiness makes me wish that for mother—and I begin to see that the chief obstacle is your lack of—” ' “Do you realize how impertinent you are?” said Menelaos. “What business is it of yours whether or not your mother is happy with me? Don’t worry. If she isn’t happy it’s

her own fault. I suppose you still admit she has faults?” “What are they, father? She is human, of course, but I’d like to hear you name the things you would like to change. Her appearance?” “We’ll discuss her character,” said Menelaos. “I believe she has no heart. She can do anything at all, / Inoculated when his pet dog or have the most tragic things happen to her, and not be disturbed in the slightest. “She’s without feelings. Then I might as well say I think her utterly immoral. Almost every sin has a bright side for her. If she elopes from her home and gets caught and brought back, she says ‘My mistake!’ and goes on as though nothing had happened and she doesn’t always say it's her mistake. “That’s the magnanimity you are praising. .She has had so much practice forgiving herself sle can forgive anybody now.” "I knew you didn’t unde.stand.

illuminating. Orestes said this morning that if he hadn’t heard her talk on the subject of his own troubles, he would never have caught the angle from which her conduct can be understood.” “I’ve said so much against your husband, Hermione, that I’m reluctant to imply anything further, but strictly, with reference to your mother I’ll confess I’d have to commit a few murders before I could catch that angle. Your mother’s philosophy would do me no good If she has one, but I suspect she moves from point to point in her life without a settled plan.” “Orestes says she made such an interesting distinction between sin and error.” “Oh, that!” said Meuelaos. “That part of her philosophy we work out frequently. She makes all the mistakes and I commit all the crimes.” “No, seriously—she tild him that her calmness, what you call her coldness, is simply her resolve to take the consequences of any action once it is done. \ “You see, she is too proud to go

As for the rest of it, I don’t get it very clearly. Orestes liked the doctrine, did he?” “I wouldn’t quite say that. He thinks it’s dangerous unless carefully applied. He believes he could clarify the ideas for her, and take the danger out, In a little quiet conversation.

The upshot will be that he will become discontented with you—you see if he doesn’t!
