The Thousandth Man:


It had been new life to them, but
now it was all over. It was the last
evening of their week, and they were
spending it rather silently on
Blanche's balcony.
Il make it at least three hundred,
that might have been a gag. "You
see, we were very seldom under fifty!"
Speak for yourself please! My
longevity's tender point" said
Blanche, who looked as though she
had no business to have her hair up,
as she sat in pale cross-fire between
a lamppost and her lighted room.
Cazalet protested that he had only
meant their mileage in the car; he
made himself extremely Ineligible
now, as he often would when she raj
lied him in q serious voice.
well, it's been a heavenly time,
she assured him just once more. And
tomorrow it's pretty sure to come all
right about Scruton, isn't it,"

grim inconsequence.
what has that to do with it, Wal
ter?"
"Oh, nothing, of course"
But still his tone was grim and
heavy, with a schoolboy irony that he
would not explain but could not keep
to himself. So Mr.. Toye must be
turned out of the conversation, though
it was not Blanche who had dragged
him in She wished people would
stick to their point.
"There's one thing I've rather want
ed to ask you," she began.
'"Yes?" said Cazalet.
"You said the other day that it
would mean worry for you in any case
after tomorrow-whether the charge
is dismissed or mott"
His wicker chair creaked under
him.
II don't see why it should" she per-
sisted, *if the case falls through"
well, that's where I come in" he
had to say.
Surely you mean just the other
way about? If they commit the man
for trial, then you do come in, know.
It's like your goodness
Il wish you wouldn't say that! It
hurts mel"
Then will you explain yourself:
It's not fair to tell me so much, and
then to leave out just the bit that's
making you miserable!"
The trusty, sisterly, sensible voice,
half bantering but altogether kind,
genuinely interested if the least bit
inquisitive, too, would have gone to
harder or more hardened heart than
beat on Blanche's balcony that night.
Yet as Cazalet lighted his pipe he
looked old enough to be her father.
I'll tell you some time," he puffed.
'It's only case of two heads" said
Blanche Il know you're bothered,
and 1 should like to help, that's ALL"
''You couldn't

man-if you can get him off mean,

"Well?" he said.
Surely I could help you there!

encouraged by his silence. I'm not

think I owe him something, as the
only man left to pay?"
But Blanche made no attempt te
answer his passionate questions. He
had let himself go at last; it relieved
her also in a way, for it was the natu
raj man back again on her balcony
But he had set Blanche off thinking or
other lines than he intended.
I'm thinking of what he must have
felt he owed Mr.. Craven and-and
Ethel" she owned.s
Il don't bother my head over eithel
of them," returned Cazalet harshly
HE was never white man in his
lifetime, and she was every inch his
daughter. Scruton's the one pity
because I've suffered so much from
that man myself"
But you don't think he did it!'
Blanche was sharp enough to inter
rupt.
"No-no-but if he had!"

'I've told you so before I meant
to take him back to Australia with me

to take him, and not soul out there
to know who he was" He sighed aloud
over the tragic stopper on that plan
"And would you still?" she asked
If could get him or"
Guilty or not guilty?"
"Rather!"
There was neither shame, pose, nor
hesitation about that. Blanche went
through into the room without word,
but her eyes shone finely in the lamp
light. Then she returned with book,
and stood half in the balcony, framed
as in a panel, looking for a place.
'You remind me of The Thousandth
Man." she told him as she found it.
who was he?"
He's every man who does a thou
sandth part of what you're doing!"
said Blanche with confidence. And
then she read, rather shyly and not
too we'll:
Zone man in thousand Solomon says,
"Will stick more close than brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half
your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend

But the Thousandth Man will stand your

II should hope he would" said Caza-

But this is the bit for you," said
Blanche:

With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninetY-nine can't bide
The shame or hooking or laughter,
But the ThouSandth Man will stand by
your side
To the gallows-foot-and after!"
The last words were italics in
Blanche's voice, and it trembled, but
so did Cazalet's as he cried out in his
formula:
That's the finest thing ever heard
in all my life! But it's true, and SO
it should be. l don't take any credit
for it,
