You would find things to laugh at even in Artemus Ward. He had been formally adopted by the Becks at the age of twelve. *** Madame la Comtesse de St Erme regarded the English major with a lacklustre eye, Gerald thought. To preach a fine sermon every Sunday so that he would lose neither the art nor the impulse; and this child, in secret rebellion, taking it down in long hand during odd hours in the week! Preaching grandiloquently before a few score natives who understood little beyond the gestures, for the single purpose of warding off disintegration! It reminded the doctor of a stubborn retreat; from barricade to barricade, grimly fighting to keep the enemy at bay, that insidious enemy of the white man in the South Seas—inertia. Don’t try to shield anybody or hide anything.
