And while, for the moment, this seemed as far as I could get, it was but natural that my mind should continue the intuitive process and acknowledge that John Silence, owing to his peculiar faculties, and the girl, owing to her singularly receptive temperament, might each in a different way have divined this latent quality in his soul, and feared its manifestation later. AND WHILE FOR THE MOMENT THIS SEEMED AS FAR AS I COULD GET IT WAS BUT NATURAL THAT MY MIND SHOULD CONTINUE THE INTUITIVE PROCESS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JOHN SILENCE OWING TO HIS PECULIAR FACULTIES AND THE GIRL OWING TO HER SINGULARLY RECEPTIVE TEMPERAMENT MIGHT EACH IN A DIFFERENT WAY HAVE DIVINED THIS LATENT QUALITY IN HIS SOUL AND FEARED ITS MANIFESTATION LATER
vigorous and decided, that yet utterly eluded analysis. The change which impressed me so oddly was not easy to name. The others—singing Maloney, the bustling Bo'sun's Mate, and Joan, that fascinating half-breed of undine and salamander—all showed the effects of a life so close to nature; but in their case the change was perfectly natural and what was to be expected, whereas with Peter Sangree, the Canadian, it was something unusual and unexpected. It is impossible to explain how he managed gradually to convey to my mind the impression that something in him had turned savage, yet this, more or less, is the impression that he did convey. It was not that he seemed really less civilised, or that his character had undergone any definite alteration, but rather that something in him, hitherto dormant, had awakened to life. Some quality, latent till now—so far, at least, as we were concerned, who, after all, knew him but slightly—had stirred into activity and risen to the surface of his being.
