"
But
suppose
he
desires
to
do
two
opposite
things
,
neither
of
which
will
permit
him
to
do
the
other
?
"
Maud
interrupted
.
"
The
very
thing
I
was
coming
to
,
"
he
said
.
"
And
between
these
two
desires
is
just
where
the
soul
of
the
man
is
manifest
,
"
she
went
on
.
"
If
it
is
a
good
soul
,
it
will
desire
and
do
the
good
action
,
and
the
contrary
if
it
is
a
bad
soul
.
It
is
the
soul
that
decides
.

"
Bosh
and
nonsense
!
"
he
exclaimed
impatiently
.
"
It
is
the
desire
that
decides
.
Here
is
a
man
who
wants
to
,
say
,
get
drunk
.
Also
,
he
does
n't
want
to
get
drunk
.
What
does
he
do
?
How
does
he
do
it
?
He
is
a
puppet
.
He
is
the
creature
of
his
desires
,
and
of
the
two
desires
he
obeys
the
strongest
one
,
that
is
all
.
His
soul
has
n't
anything
to
do
with
it
.
How
can
he
be
tempted
to
get
drunk
and
refuse
to
get
drunk
?
If
the
desire
to
remain
sober
prevails
,
it
is
because
it
is
the
strongest
desire
.
Temptation
plays
no
part
,
unless
--
"
he
paused
while
grasping
the
new
thought
which
had
come
into
his
mind
--
"
unless
he
is
tempted
to
remain
sober
.
"
Ha
!
ha
!
"
he
laughed
.
"
What
do
you
think
of
that
,
Mr.
Van
Weyden
?
"
"
That
both
of
you
are
hair-splitting
,
"
I
said
.
"
The
man
's
soul
is
his
desires
.
Or
,
if
you
will
,
the
sum
of
his
desires
is
his
soul
.
Therein
you
are
both
wrong
.
You
lay
the
stress
upon
the
desire
apart
from
the
soul
,
Miss
Brewster
lays
the
stress
on
the
soul
apart
from
the
desire
,
and
in
point
of
fact
soul
and
desire
are
the
same
thing
.

"
However
,
"
I
continued
,
"
Miss
Brewster
is
right
in
contending
that
temptation
is
temptation
whether
the
man
yield
or
overcome
.
Fire
is
fanned
by
the
wind
until
it
leaps
up
fiercely
.
So
is
desire
like
fire
.
It
is
fanned
,
as
by
a
wind
,
by
sight
of
the
thing
desired
,
or
by
a
new
and
luring
description
or
comprehension
of
the
thing
desired
.
There
lies
the
temptation
.
It
is
the
wind
that
fans
the
desire
until
it
leaps
up
to
mastery
.
That
's
temptation
.
It
may
not
fan
sufficiently
to
make
the
desire
overmastering
,
but
in
so
far
as
it
fans
at
all
,
that
far
is
it
temptation
.
And
,
as
you
say
,
it
may
tempt
for
good
as
well
as
for
evil
.
"
I
felt
proud
of
myself
as
we
sat
down
to
the
table
.
My
words
had
been
decisive
.
At
least
they
had
put
an
end
to
the
discussion
.
But
Wolf
Larsen
seemed
voluble
,
prone
to
speech
as
I
had
never
seen
him
before
.
It
was
as
though
he
were
bursting
with
pent
energy
which
must
find
an
outlet
somehow
.
Almost
immediately
he
launched
into
a
discussion
on
love
.
As
usual
,
his
was
the
sheer
materialistic
side
,
and
Maud
's
was
the
idealistic
.
For
myself
,
beyond
a
word
or
so
of
suggestion
or
correction
now
and
again
,
I
took
no
part
.
