It was then that his mission had appeared to him as a vision. Every day afterward his sense and knowledge of this mission had grown stronger. To his mind not the least of the trials it was to impose upon him and one which would have to be dealt with shortly was a necessary talk with his assistant McCrae. If their relationship had from the beginning been unusual and unsatisfactory adjectives would seem to defy what it had become during the summer. What did McCrae think of him? For Hodder had it will be recalled bidden his assistant good-by - and then had remained. At another brief interview during which McCrae had betrayed no surprise uttered no censure or comment Hodder had announced his determination to remain in the city and to take no part in the services. An announcement sufficiently astounding. During the months that followed they had met at rare intervals exchanged casual greetings and passed on. And yet Hodder had the feeling more firmly planted than ever that McCrae was awaiting with an interest which might be called suspense the culmination of the process going on within him.
