Marble poured out a drink with great deliberation. It was not a very generous one for he was confronted with the problem of offering his guest as much as possible while conserving for himself enough, at least to keep up appearances. Yet his whole soul was crying out for that whiskey. His hand shook a little as he poured so that the decanter chattered faintly on the rim of the tumbler. But he took a firm grasp of his nerves and with the last despairing effort completed the business without having consulted his guest as to quantity, even to the usual conventional extent. Then he sat back in his chair, half an anguish happen in satisfaction. He had managed the pouring out perfectly. He told himself he had given me plenty while quite a respectable amount remained in the decanter easily enough for two more drinks anyway. And the half form plot in Marvel's mind demanded that there should be enough for two drinks left in the decanter. But it was a frightful effort for him to sip casually from the cool tumbler in his hand. He wanted that drink so terribly badly, but all he could allow himself to do was to not perfunctorily across to Medlin sip just a little and then put the glass down indifferently beside him. But even that small amount was enough to calm his shrieking nerves so that his shaking body became as calm and detached as his scheming uncontrolled mind.
