Chapter XIII
FEVERISH SYMPTOMS Masters did not leave Wivernsea. The obstinacy of his character came into play there; he had come down for a month, and he stopped. He had come for a purpose too--business purpose--had his book to finish. Was a trifling incident, the accident common to men's lives, to disturb the current of his life? To turn him from his prearranged plan in the smallest degree?
