THE KNOTS OF LIFE
Albert arrived and should know right away what had taken place. Both men tried to make regain consciousness to him, Albert nearly lost his peace and his legendary self-control
Albert: But why does not she answer? Candy good blood!
She cannot at the moment but she must hear us, I know that she hears us said the other man trying at the price of effort superhuman to keep her peace
Albert touched Candy's forehead which began being delirious and exclaimed:
Albert: she is burning! Rest to her while I call
I am going to carry her, it is me who am going to carry her said suddenly the young man of a very assured air
Albert: well made Albert who thought (it is normal I am stupid, it is all that there is a more normal) let us make as quickly as possible
At the same time, Terry arrived in the park and should have only the time to see unconscious Candy.
Terry: what takes place? But has what she?
Albert: I would say it to you he says to him by running, the only thing which it needs at present it is of a doctor and as quickly as possible
Terry remained dumbfounded and there in two seconds tells himself «then it was therefore çà, and good, they are going to see how my name is»
In the foyer a butler came to Albert's front and says to him " Mister, there is uh
Albert: listen, you see well that it is not the instant answered him Albert of a rather violent air
Mister it is because we intercepted mister Daniel Legrand and
Albert: he did not miss more than çà!! Make him wait in my office and quickly
The doctor arrived shortly after. Albert ordered what everybody takes out.
Did this young woman accept a shock recently does he say about an anxious air?
Albert: yes, doctor
Doctor: I do not hide you that I am anxious for its state, it is necessary to bring down this temperature first of all, and hydrate it the most possible, in a psycho-traumatic shock of such largeness, it is really important.
Albert: Doctor, hide me anything should interrupt him Albert, please it is really important.
They discussed during several minutes.
When the doctor left, he says «I send you a nurse right away».
Albert came back into Candy's room and began watching over it
Albert: dear baby Candy, even if you became a superb young lady, hold out, are able to stand, I ask you. You are only at the dawn of your life there, without counting that I am going have to go to see its voice trembled and he should be able to go on no longer, Rosemary roof which was always there, protects, please I know that you are there, I know it
She continued being delirious and was so white that she became confused with sheets of her bed.
Albert: Ashley, you are at bedside of Candy until the nurse arrives, if there is though it is, you inform me immediately, thank you
Ashley: Well Mister, Miss is going to take out there of course, yes it is sure! the maidservant says by crying
Albert: but it is obvious made more and more anxious Albert who went towards his flats by knowing what he is going to have to confront.
He came back to waterspout and saw a young man tolerably irritated air.
Albert: thank you Georges to have ensured says and leave us.
Georges: well Mister says Georges by making off
Albert: I tell you, I would be short he made by sitting down, I am not mood
Daniel even if he was in his paranoia was tolerably impressed
Daniel: But great-uncle, I defend my good right,
Albert: SILENCE!!!! shouted Albert literally out of him. How you dare to come here, I do not know how you could know that Candy was here but I would know it. It has all his life endured from your hanky-panky and from your nastiness with Eliza. You literally rotted him existence. You dare to come in this residence to exercise your good right? But the good right of whom, of what? Know that Candy will marry who she wants and that never, never anybody will influence his life and only especially, I would make sure that she is never again importuned with you and with your sister. You will be able to say to your parents that I want to see again under no circumstances whoever it is for your part, I would take sanctions necessary for your respect, believe me!! Albert's eyes had become suddenly black, the joints of fingers ready to break so much they were gripped.
Daniel: But great-uncle, I love him, you cannot question him otherwise I would not have come until now he dared to retort
Albert: YOU DARE TO ANSWER WHAT I SAID TO YOU. CANDY WILL NEVER LOVE YOU AND I DISPEL YOU OF THIS HOME, N RETURN THERE NEVER, GEORGES called, WHERE BETTER I AM GOING TO MAKE HIM he MYSELF howled
He shouted so extremely that Georges entered the room hurriedly and pushed Daniel towards the exit
Georges: I avert you Mister, leave, it is better for you
Daniel: I leave perhaps but I would arrive that I want, I guarantee him to you said Daniel who began in, to overturn into madness and fixed idea.
Albert should not even answer and looked out the window, thinking him of being going to had to again confront moreover.
Patty going to France was mad with joy and did not dare to think in this letter that she continued rereading
Patty: My ally, living being, I knew that you were somewhere, I knew it, oh my God, it is marvellous
Across, a French notary arrived at the United States and went to become established in Chicago, by telling himself that dices the following day, he would go to see the sources of press to see if there n was no trace of the person which he searched.
He was still in his office when Terry entered waterspout without knocking
Albert: and good Terry what
Terry: said therefore made Terry, I would really like to know what takes place here and I would especially like to know how Candy goes, Person cannot enter her room, I feel not having understood everything, finally she went very well yesterday evening and of a blow this morning, but wait he made by accomplishing as he spoke, do not say to me that, oh it would be best that one, if I had known that..
He should be able never to answer what he had just said to him when somebody else entered the room at this instant.
During some seconds, three men stared and they should know never what passed by the head of each, seen the state of confusion which reigned.
And very what's happening? made the young man of a rather nervous tone
Terry: Then, I would like to know, before accomplishing with a sarcastic smile, wait, do not tell myself, it is not parce our two families know each other for a long time of view, wait, I think that I begin understanding
Albert: wait for Terry, it is not..
It is at this moment that the other young man should speak: Please, great-uncle, I would like to express myself, and well if, I am Anthony Brown, changes what it at the moment? he says about a rather calm tone even if they smelt an observable annoyance which dawned in its voice
Terry: What it changes as though you did not know it should make Terry of an air railleur who tried hopelessly not to show the anger which went up in him
Anthony: I see what it changes at the moment, I think that at the moment, the most important it is of, he should not can go on
Terry: then as çà it is you the gardener who maintains his roses? Terry says
Anthony: yes, I always continue cultivating them and I would always go on answered him Anthony
Terry: not without joke, it is sure, what a highly rewarding activity! Terry says
Anthony: I really apologise that it could disturb you in a way that it is should make Anthony whose eyes began tearing along dangerously in spite of a visible peace
Terry: well, and me grieved misters, I am going to see how somebody goes, it interests me much more
Albert: nobody will enter Candy's room without my permission and you will not indeed be together, I forbid it you officially
He had said nothing until now, he watched at both men confronting one another and knew that it was unavoidable. He told himself «They are going to confront one another for the love of a woman and not of whatever, provided that it does not skid, I must just look after it, it is two supporting men and with each their character and their past with our Candy, my baby Candy, hold out, he is needed»
Albert: Misters, I authorise you to go to see her, each in your turn, a nurse the day before
Terry: Oh I assume mister Brown that you are going to see her in first said Terry
Anthony: You say for others? says Anthony who began losing patience
Albert: well, I decide for you, Terry you pass in first, Anthony will pass in second
Terry: I thank you said Terry so much on defensive that he left directly for the room immediately.
Anthony left towards his room and left there to calm down.
When Albert entered the room, he sees the nurse occupied to mop Candy always delirious so much.
Albert: how does she go?
Nurse: I am sorry Mister, she is always delirious so much, she does not give up saying the name of a flower, I do not succeed in understanding, she always repeats several names in a continuous loop, there is a name which returns non-stop. I think that fever augmented. I try to hydrate him at the farthest.
Albert: Miss, you would say it to me, yes
Nurse: We are not still there, I assure you said the nurse who was very anxious in reality. (So never she makes a cerebral reaction, I hope that not.) she tells herself
He looked at her Candy during long instants, tiny tears appeared of the eyes.
Meanwhile, Terry and Anthony deeply spoke in the foyer
Terry: I guarantee you right away, I would leave you no chance, which goes to hunt loses its place!
Anthony: How do you dare to say çà? The most important at the moment it is because Candy recovers and nothing else, you think only of you!
Terry: error to whom if she is in this state?
Anthony: I have nothing else to say to you made glacial Anthony, you had not to go to see her?
Each stayed on his thoughts, died from concern for Candy who struggled hopelessly.
Terry once in the room went up to the bed and did not expect to find it in the similar state: You are not going to make me çà? I have once already lost you, not one second, you cannot, fight my small Miss Tarzan, my Candy, you are going to come back, I know it, he should not can continue more …
Anthony waited and thought: I know that you are going to come back, I know that I could everything explain you, they have so many things to tell themselves, I know that you are fighting, I know it better than anybody I would go to join you where that you are by every possible means thought t-il of a rather frightening peace. Just say to you all these things which I could not say to you to Me, he should not can go on also
Outside, a storm had got up and turned in hurricane, the castle struggled against the attacks of a non-assembled sea which seemed also worry and in a rage
