“You’re not hurt, John? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!”
It was worth a wound — it was worth many wounds — to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.
Another commission for super lovely welovethebeekeeper ! :) She asked me to do the love reveal in the Three Garridebs and I was more than happy to comply :)
