Here is what Mason tells Dixon of how Rebekah and he first met. Not yet understanding the narrative1 lengths Mason will go to, to avoid betraying her, Dixon believes ev'ry word—
'Twas at the annual cheese-rolling at the parish church in Randwick, a few miles the other side of Stroud. And May-Day as well, in its full English Glory, Mason's Baptismal day,— its own Breath being drawn2 again and again across the Brooksides, Copses, and Fields, heated, fra?grant. Every young woman for miles around would be there, although Mason adopted a more Scientifick motive3, that of wishing to see at first hand, a much-rumored Prodigy6, styled "The Octuple Gloucester,"— a giant Cheese, the largest known in the Region, perhaps in the Kingdom.
Some considered it an example of Reason run amok,— an unreflec-tive Vicar, worshiping at the wrong Altar, having convinced local Cheesemen to pool their efforts in accomplishing the feat8. Scaled up from the dimensions of the classic Single Gloucester, not only in Thick?ness, but actually octupled in all dimensions, making it more like a 512-fold or Quincentenariduodecuple Gloucester,— running to nearly four tons in weight when green, and even after shrinkage towering ten feet high by the time it emerged from the giant Shed built at the outskirts9 of town especially for this unprecedented10 Caseifaction,— the extraordi?nary Cheese, as it slowly aged11, had already provided material for months of public Rumor4. In recent days, trying to contain their impatience12, crowds had begun to gather outside the shed entrance, as if a royal birth were imminent13. As gatherings14 of the People, in this part of England, often produc'd gastro-spiritual Distress16 among the Clothiers, there were also on hand a small body of Light Cavalry17. When the Cheese was at last carefully rolled into publick View, those who were there remember a col?lective gasp18, a beat of silence, then, "Well,— I knew it was going to be big, but— "..."How ever are they going to get it up to the Church?"... "Wonder what it tastes like?"
Traditionally, the cheeses to be blessed and ritually rolled thrice 'round the churchyard, and thence down a Hill, ordinary-sized Double Gloucesters, were carried to the site in wheeled litters of some antiquity19, though such clearly, for this Behemoth, would not do. Someone finally located a gigantic Cotswold Waggon20, painted brick red and sky blue, as were the spokes21 and rims22, respectively, of its wheels. The Cheese, an equally vivid orange-yellow, had then to be carefully rolled off a kind of dock and on into the bed of the Waggon, where, like some dangerous large animal, it was secured with stout23 Cables in an erect24 position. As the sides of the Waggon were of spindles and not planks25, the Cheese was visible to onlookers26 in its full Circumference27.
The progress to Randwick Church was a Spectacle long to be remem?bered. Neighbor Folk of all conditions lined the route, at first, as the great Cheese swayed and loomed28 into view, silently in awe,— then, presently, as if strangely calmed by the Beams of a Luminary29 rising anew above each dip in the road,— calling out to the Cheese and its convey?ors, calls which after not too long became huzzahs and even Hosannas. Drinkers tumbled out of the alehouses and toasted the majestic30 food product as it passed— "Let's have three cheers for the Great Octuple, lads!" Girls blew Kisses. Local youths from time to time would spring aboard, to help steady the cargo31 when the road-surface became difficult, able to tell one day of how they had escorted the great Cheese upon its journey, that famous first of May. Singing,
Here's to the great, Octuple boys! the
Mon-ster Cheese of fame,
Let's cheer it with, a thund'rous noise,
Then twice more of the same,—
Oh the bells shall ring, and
The guns shall roar,
For the won-derful Octuple Glo'r...
Aye, all the Lads, who push and who-pull,
Ev'ry Master, ev'ry Pupil
Single-ton and married Coople,
Eye at Win-dow, Door and Looph'le,
Ev'ry minim, dram and scruple32
Of their Praise is Thine, Octuple!"
Of course Mason was there hoping to see Susannah Peach, even if it had to be from a distance, surrounded by cousins and friends. She would appear, as always, in silk. Her father, Samuel Peach, was a silk merchant of some repute, and a growing Power within the East India Company. Mason imagin'd her brought bolts of it, by Indians queu'd up in bright Livery, Silks without limit from the furthest of the far Eastern lands, the house in Minchinhampton soon drap'd ev'rywhere in bright spilled, intriguingly33 wrinkl'd yards of silkstuffs,— an hundred mirror'd candles casting upon it the fatty yellow light of a tropical sun. Savage34 flowers of the Indies, demurer Blooms of the British garden, stripes and tartans, foreign colors undream'd of in Newton's prismatics, damasks with epic-length Oriental tales woven into them, requiring hours of attentive35 gaz?ing whilst the light at the window went changing so as to reveal newer and deeper labyrinths36 of event, Velvets whose grasp of incident light was so predatory and absolute that one moved closer to compensate37 for what was not being reflected, till it felt like being drawn, oneself, inside the unthinkable contours of an invisible surface. She could distinguish Shantung from Tussah and Pongee, being often quite passionate38 in her Preferences. "Would you like to learn Silk, Charles? It might mean Aleppo instead of India. Would that disappoint you?"
"No, Miss." He had visited her House when she wasn't there. He had enter'd her room. He had knelt by her Bed and press'd his face to the Counterpane of Silk to inhale39 what he could of her Scent40. In the Sewing-Room, from down at Surface-level, he imagin'd from the Silk strewn so carelessly, a Terrain41 steeply wrinkl'd into mountainsides and ravines, through which pass'd dangerous Silk-route shortcuts42, down upon which with the patience of Reptiles43 bands of arm'd men in colorful costume gaz'd, and waited. Waited to kidnap and unspeakably mistreat beautiful young Silk Heiresses....
Today he felt more than usually glum44. His father's birthday gift to him had been a day off from duties at the Mill. All 'round him, ev'rybody else his age was flirting45, chasing, and larking46, whilst he trudged47 about, wait?ing at last only for the giant Cheese, which had been due to arrive, actu?ally, some while ago. Susannah, as the daughter of a local dignitary, might be accompanying it upon its journey,— or might have stayed home altogether. He could see no one, withal, who was not by this point pair'd off. Not much use in staying, he suppos'd.... He started down the hill?side by the church, planning at the bottom to pick up the road back in to Stroud, incompletely attentive to the slow Crescendo48 of cheering from the crowd above, and the wave of Children spilling down the Hill, and the first cries of Warning.
As he'd learn later, the Vicar had decided49 for reasons of safety to roll nothing greater than a Double Gloucester down the Hill,— yet as if ordain'd by some invariance in the Day's Angular Momentum50, the Drag-Shoe on one side of the Octuple's Waggon broke away, causing the con7?veyance to slew51, and slip down the side of a Hummock52, and at last tip over, launching the Cheese into the Air, just before the Waggon (its Cata?pult) fell over with a great creak and jangle, Wheels a-spin, as meanwhile the enormous Cheese was hitting the Slope perfectly53 vertical,— bouncing once, startlingly orange against the green hillside, and beginning to roll, gathering15 speed. The first peripheral54 impression Mason had of it was of course a star-gazer's,— thinking, Why, the Moon isn't suppos'd to be out, nor full, nor quite this bright shade of yellow, nor for that matter to be growing in size this way,— about then smoaking belatedly where he was, and what was about to happen.
"Ahr! Mercy!" He threw his arms in front of his Face and succumb'd before the cylindrickal Onslaught, with a peculiar55 Horror at having been singl'd out for Misadventure... The Victim of a Cheese malevolent56, being his last thought before abrupt57 Rescue by way of a stout shove, preceded by an energetick Rustling58 of Taffeta,— as he went toppling onto his face, grass up his Nose, hearing thro' his Belly59 the homicidal Ponderosity60 roll by without the interruption of a flatten'd Mason to divert it from its Destiny.
As he arose, slowly, holding his head, blowing out alternate Nostrils61, her Voice first reach'd him. "Were it Night-time, Sir, I'd say you were out
Star-Gazing." She put upon her r the same vigorous Edge as his Father on a difficult day,— withal, "Star-Gazing" in those parts was a young man's term for masturbating. He might have said something then to regret forever, but her looks had him stupefied. If she was not, like Susannah, a Classick English Rose, neither was she any rugged62 Blossom of the Heath. He found himself staring at the shape of her mouth, her Lips slightly apart, in an Inquiry63 that just fail'd to be a Smile,— like a Gate-Keeper about to have a Word with him. What shadow'd Gates lay at her Back? What mystick Residence?
"My wish too intently these days," he declares to Dixon when it is possible to do so, "is to re-paint the Scene, so that she might bear some?how her fate in her Face, eyes guarded, searching for small injustices64 to respond to because she cannot bear what she knows will befall her,— yet Rebekah's innocence65 of Mortality kept ever intact.. .oh, shall this divide my Heart? she saw nothing, that May-Day, but Life ahead of her."
("There are no records of her in Gloucestershire," interrupts Uncle Ives.
"What, none? Shall none ever appear?"
"With respect to your Faith in the as-yet-Unmaterializ'd, Mason was baptiz'd at Sapperton Church, as were his Children,— yet he and Rebekah were not married there. So mayn't they have met elsewhere as well,— even at Greenwich?"
"Unless ghosts are double,— " "— one walking, the other still," the Twins propose.)
Country Wife open and fair, City Wife a Creature of Smoke, Soot66, Intrigue67, Purposes unutter'd...her plainly visible Phantom68 attends Mason as if he were a Commissioner69 of Unfinish'd Business, represent?ing Rebekah at her most vital and belov'd. Is this, like the Bread and Wine, a kindness of the Almighty70, sparing him a sight he could not have abided? What might that be, too merciless to bear? At times he believes he has almost seen black Fumes71 welling from the Surface of her Appari?tion, heard her Voice thickening to the timbres72 of the Beasts...the ser?pents of Hell, real and swift, lying just the other side of her Shadow.. .the smell of them in their long, cold Waiting— He gazes, at such moments, feeling pleasurably helpless. She occupies now an entirely73 new angular relation to Mercy, to those refusals, among the Living, to act on behalf of
Death or its ev'ryday Coercions,— Wages too low to live upon, Laws written by Owners, Infantry74, Bailiffs, Prison, Death's thousand Meta?phors in the World,— as if, the instant of her passing over having acted as a Lens, the rays of her Soul have undergone moral Refraction.
He tries teasing her with his earth-bound Despair. "Measuring Angles among illuminated75 Points, there must be more to it, 'Bekah, you see them as they are, you must."
"Oh, Charlie. 'Must.' " Laughter does not traverse easily the baffling of Death,— yet he cannot harden his heart enough to miss the old Note within,— 'tis sure, 'tis his own Rebekah. Her voice affects him like music in F-sharp minor76, drawing him to the dire77 promise. "You believ'd, when you were a Boy, that the Stars were Souls departed."
"And you, that they were Ships at Anchor." She had, once,— as our Sky, a Harbor to Travelers from Ev'rywhere.
"Look to the Earth." she instructs him. "Belonging to her as I do, I know she lives, and that here upon this Volcanoe in the Sea, close to the Forces within, even you, Mopery, may learn of her, Tellurick Secrets you could never guess."
"I've betray'd you," he cries. "Ah,— I should have—
"Lit Candles? I am past Light. Pray'd for me ev'ry Day? I am outside of Time. Good, living Charles,...good Flesh and Blood—" Between them now something like a Wind is picking up speed and beginning to obscure his View of her. She bares her Teeth, and pales, and turns, drift?ing away, evaporating before she is halfway78 across the slain79 Forest.
Erect after her dear Flesh impossible to him till Resurrection Day, he returns to his bed-clothes. In the Crepuscule, Maskelyne's Observing Suit is edging into Visibility. Great Waves of Melancholy80, syncopating the Atlantick Counterparts not far away, surge against him. They might drown him, or bear him up,— he lies not caring, and fails to find Sleep again. Maskelyne, on the other side of the Tent, slumbers81 till Midday. "Hullo, Mason. Was that you, coming in about Dawn?"
"Not I." Unpremeditatedly.
"Hum,— Might it've been Dieter, d'ye think?"
"Dieter? Why would he be in the Tent?"
"The Wind."
"Ahrr,— that is, of course.”
"He's not Dieter.. .at least not any more, he isn't."
Mason recalls that he has never met the German face to face. "How is the project for his Release getting on?"
' 'Tis someone else. You may be confus'd. Pray, erase82 Dieter from your Mind, and I shall be much oblig'd."
Mason, understanding little enough already, still resounding83 up and down his Center-Line with Rebekah's Visit, is abruptly84 certain that Dieter is a Ghost as well. How wise would it be, however, to share this Revelation with Maskelyne? "He is well, I trust," keeping at it for rea?sons he sees only after he has spoken.
' 'Well'! What are you saying, Mason? To be not well over here, is to be dead. How you have avoided that Fate, indeed puzzles me."
"Which leaves you,— are you 'well,' Maskelyne?"
' 'Tis Dieter who's in Peril85 here. Medically, I cannot speak,— yet as one of the Lord's Menials, I see his Soul insulted in ways Souls do not bear readily. Why did you not, rather, ask after him? His Fate has Con?sequences within my own."
Mason has begun in recent days hearing in the Wind entire orchestral Performances, of musick distinctly not British,— Viennese, perhaps, Hungarian, even Moorish86. He finds he cannot concentrate. The Wind seems to be blowing cross-wise to the light incoming from Sirius, pro5?ducing false images, as if, in Bradley's Metaphor87 for the Aberration88, the Vehicle, Wind, has broken thro' some Barrier, and enter'd the no-nonsense regime of the Tenor89, Light, whilst remaining attach'd to it. As supernatural as a Visitant from the Regime of Death to the sunny Colony of Life,— to be metaphorickal about it—
"I think the two of ye need some time together," Mason, with what remains90 of his good Sense, suggests. "And to be honest, I haven't your resistance to this Wind. It is driving me insane." His Stomach warning him not to add, "You are driving me insane."
He runs without delay down to the Shingle91 and begins assembling a Signal-Fire, using his Coat to fan it, advising any Coasters that might come by, of his need of passage to the Leeward92 Side. The Price will be more or less Criminal.
Maskelyne waves good-bye from the Ridge93. He wears a Canary Coat and Breeches Mason has never observ'd him in before, a Wig94 that even at this Distance causes a contraction95 of the Pupils, and a Hat, more obscurely, suggesting Optickal Machinery96 of uncertain Purpose. He seems to be on his Way to the Fort, perhaps into it. Perhaps that is where Dieter does his principal Haunting. Presently a Dhow ventures in, to Wading-Distance. "Good Ride to Jamestown! Twenty Rix-Dollars! Good Price!"
"Ten!" having no idea if he can afford it.
"Only as far as Friar's Valley."
"Break-neck," whispers a Voice clearly, tho' no one is there.
"To Break-neck," calls Mason.
"I've no wish to offend your Companion. Done.”
