''Oh, I'm all right" said Langdon.
"But. Doctor. is she-is it going to be
possible to go on with this trial? Can
Mary bear it?'' :.
II think So" The answer came slow
~. '0f course yesterdays scene was
bad. very bad. But you must realize
that the attack. while it was plainly
due to the whiskey thrust upon her,
was only to some extent brought about
by the fact that the liquor was hand
ed her at time when she was hys-
terical and had been re-enacting events
that kept her earlier experiences. con-
stantly in her mind. Given healthy
surroundings and happiness, wouldn't
worry about attacks in the future
Langdon nodded absently, for his
heart was echoing the earlier words of
the great alienist: ''Given healthy sur
roundings and happiness l wouldn't
worry about attacks in the future"
and he was vowing to himself that,
cost what it might, he would yet win
freedom and happiness for her.
He had not dared hope that she
would be3well enough for the trial to
continue for some days at least. but
when she woke few hours later she
vowed she was perfectly able to go
into court even then. And 50. no more
than an hour late. the proceedings
were continued.
That hour had seemed a very short
time to Mary and to Langdon. but it
was a very long one to the excited
spectators who crowded the rooms to
the doors. whispering excited reminis.
cences of the day before
Whatever doubts had fingered in the
minds Of the public as to the veracity
and the strength of the defense built
up by Langdon had been shattered at
one blow. For Mary, as everyone said,
might indeed have been actress enough
to feign madness at the sight of the
drunken policeman, but she could not
have feigned that great bruise on her
shoulder. The shadow of the gripping
hand with those Hvid scars beneath it
told mutely Of how the cruel fingers
had torn into the tender flesh.
