Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Live Christmas Tree: Christmas Story Qhie-rarch did indeed point out a far-reaching law, but laws have exceptions, you remember; that's where our League steps in. We hold by Nature; but we appeal to her against herself; to higher law against lower, you Understand. Hypatia's lip curled odrately. Old stock arguments. I've heard them many times; and she seemed so vital, so dominant a being, in her self-reliant grace and beauty, that Disease would not have dared molest her, and even Death, with uplifted dart, might have stayed his arm. Their obedient Geni, sighing in his bondage, bore them swiftly on through fields of yellow corn, under arches of leafy gold, and over slopes of highway which seemed to bend pliantly beneath them. Tom, the Passenger, noted with eye and ear the varied splendor of the waning day; the lucent yellow of golden rod, the turgid Silenus purple of sumac, and the arcs of cryptic circles cut by restless south-beckoned swallows into the velvety blue of the sky. Yet his joy in the crimson and golden glory was shot across, at intervals, by the sombre wish that his wife might share with him his zealous interest in this crusade against the Great White Plague. Then he suddenly recalled a remark which his friend, the stock broker, had inadvertently dropped, the day before. That wife of yours, Tom, one of a thousand. Why, she wired me lastweek, after that tenement-house exposure, to sell all her shares in the United Claims Company. They really own that deadly tenement-house district, you know, and won't make improve ments. The broker's voice had vibrated with admira tion, and Hypatia's husband had mechanically nodded and confirmed, Yes, I know; but he had not known. Still he knew her - as well as anybody could - and was not surprised. Now he recalled the matter, and it comforted him.
