Zuleika Dobson; Or, An Oxford Love Story
·
Sir Max Beerbohm
111
The
genial
din
was
wafted
down
through
the
open
window
to
the
passers-by.
The
wine-merchant
across
the
way
heard
it,
and
smiled
pensively.
“Youth,
youth!”
he
murmured.
The
genial
din
grew
louder.
At
any
other
time,
the
Duke
would
have
been
jarred
by
the
disgrace
to
the
Junta.
But
now,
as
he
stood
with
bent
head,
covering
his
face
with
his
hands,
he
thought
only
of
the
need
to
rid
these
young
men,
here
and
now,
of
the
influence
that
had
befallen
them.
To-morrow
his
tragic
example
might
be
too
late,
the
mischief
have
sunk
too
deep,
the
agony
be
life-long.
His
good
breeding
forbade
him
to
cast
over
a
dinner-table
the
shadow
of
his
death.
His
conscience
insisted
that
he
must.
He
uncovered
his
face,
and
held
up
one
hand
for
silence.
