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. 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
rious judgment formed of him by Joan; and secondly, that fugitive expression I had caught in his face while Maloney was offering up his strange prayer for special protection from Heaven. The delicacy of manner and feature—to call it by no milder term—which had always been a distinguishing characteristic of the man, had been replaced by something far more vigorous and decided, that yet utterly eluded analysis.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. DIVINE FIRST THE CURIOUS JUDGMENT FORMED OF HIM BY JOAN AND SECONDLY THAT FUGITIVE EXPRESSION I HAD CAUGHT IN HIS FACE WHILE MALONEY WAS OFFERING UP HIS STRANGE PRAYER FOR SPECIAL PROTECTION FROM HEAVEN THE DELICACY OF MANNER AND FEATURE TO CALL IT BY NO MILDER TERM WHICH HAD ALWAYS BEEN A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MAN HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SOMETHING FAR MORE VIGOROUS AND DECIDED THAT YET UTTERLY ELUDED ANALYSIS THE CHANGE WHICH IMPRESSED ME SO ODDLY WAS NOT EASY TO NAME THE OTHERS SINGING MALONEY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
