that life must teach the man before the man could teach his fellows.

the yellow one, as Judith performed some little service for Creed. The
girl's rich brown beauty glowed and bloomed before the steady, blue fire
of her lover's eyes. She set down her tumbler and knelt beside him. Their
lips were murmuring, they had forgotten all the world save themselves and
their love. Jephthah looked at the rapt young faces; these two were on
the mount of transfiguration; the light ineffable was all about them.

"Lord, what's the use of a old fool like me sayin' I, ay, yes or no to
sech a pair as that?" he whispered as he went out softly and closed the
door.
