The Misanthrope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

J. D. Beresford
(Full story)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SINCE I HAVE returned from the rock and discussed the story in all its bearings, I have begun to wonder if the man made a fool of me. In the deeps of my consciousness I feel that he did not. Nevertheless, I cannot resist the effect of all the laughter that has been evoked by my narrative. Here on the mainland the whole thing seems unlikely, grotesque, foolish. On the rock the man\u2019s confession carried absolute conviction. The setting is everything; and I am, perhaps, thankful that my present circumstances are so beautifully conducive to sanity. No one appreciates the mystery of life more than I do; but when the mystery involves such a doubt of oneself, I find it pleasanter to forget. Naturally, I do not want to believe the story. If I did I should know myself to be some kind of human horror. And the terror of it all lies in the fact that I may never know precisely what kind. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I went we had eliminated the facile and banal explanation that the man was mad, and had fallen back upon the two inevitable alternatives: Crime and Disappointed Love. We were human and romantic, and we tried desperately hard not to be too obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once before a man had made the same attempt and had built or tried to build a house on the Gulland rock; but he had been defeated within a fortnight, and what was left of his building was taken off the Island and turned into a tin church. It is there still. We all went to Trevone and ruminated over and round it, perhaps with some faint hope that one of us might, all-unknowing, have the abilities of a psychometrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing came of that visit but a slight intensification of those theories that were already becoming a little stale. We compared the early failure of thirty years ago, the attempt that was baffled, with the present success. For this new misanthrope had lived on the Gulland through the whole winter \u2014 and still lived. Indeed, the fact of his presence on that awful lump of rock was now accepted by the country people; to them he was scarcely a shade madder than the other visitors; that remunerative, recurrent host that this year broke their journey to Bedruthan in order to stand on Trevone beach and stare foolishly at the just visible hut that stuck like a cubical gall on the landward face of that humped, desolate island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all did that; stared at nothing in particular and meditated enormously; but in what I felt at the time was a wild spirit of adventure, I went out one night to the point of Gunver Head and saw an actual light within that distant hut; a patch of golden lichen on the mother parasite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some aspect of humanity I found in that light it was, that finally decided me; that and some quality of sympathy, perhaps with the hermit \u2014 mad, criminal, or lovelorn? \u2014 who had found sanctuary from the pestilent touch of the encroaching crowd. It was, in fact, a wildish night, and I stayed until the little yellow speck went out, and all I could see through the murk was an occasional canopy of curving spray when the elbow of the Trevose Light touched a bare corner of that black Gulland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The making of a decision was no difficult matter, but while I waited for the necessary calm that would permit the occasional boat to land provisions on the island two miles out from the mainland, I suffered qualms of doubt and nervousness. And I suffered them alone, for I had determined that no hint of my adventure should be given to any one of our party until the voyage had been made. They might think that I had gone fishing, an excuse which had all the air of probability given to it by the coming of the boatman to say that the tide and wind would serve that morning. I had warned \u2014 and bribed \u2014 him to give no clue to my friends of the goal of my proposed excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My nervousness suffered no decrease as we approached the rock and saw the authentic figure of its single inhabitant awaiting our arrival. I had some consolation in the thought that he would be in some way prepared by the sight of our surprisingly passengered boat; but my mind shuddered at the necessity for using some conventional form of address if I would make at once my introduction and excuse. The civilised opening was so hopelessly incapable of expressing my sympathy, presenting instead so unmistakably, it seemed to me, the single solution of common curiosity. I wondered that he had not \u2014 as the boatman so clearly assured me was the case \u2014 had other prying visitors before me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My self-consciousness increased as we came nearer to the single opening among the spiked rocks, that served as a miniature harbour at half-tide. I felt that I was being watched by the man who now stood awaiting us at the water\u2019s edge. And suddenly my spirit broke, I decided that I could not force myself upon him, that I would remain in the boat while its cargo was delivered, and then return with the boatman to Trevone. So resolute was I in this plan that when we had pulled in to the tiny landing-place, I kept my gaze steadfastly averted from the man I had come to see, and stared solemnly out at the humped back of Trevose, seen now in an entirely new aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound of the hermit\u2019s voice startled me from a perfectly genuine abstraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFairly decent weather to-day,\u201d he remarked with, I thought, a touch of nervousness. He had, I remembered, addressed the same remark to the boatmen, who were now conveying their cargo up to the hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked up and met his stare. He was, indeed, regarding me with a curious effect of concentration, as if he were eager to note every detail of my expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJolly,\u201d I replied. \u201cBeen pretty beastly the last day or two. Kept you rather short, hasn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI make allowances for that,\u201d he said. \u201cKeep a reserve, you know. Are you staying over there?\u201d He nodded towards the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a week or two,\u201d I told him, and we began to discuss the country around Harlyn with the eagerness of two strangers who find a common topic at a dull reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNever been on the Gulland before, I suppose?\u201d he ventured at last, when the boatmen had discharged their load and were evidently ready to be off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no, I haven\u2019t,\u201d I said, and hesitated. I felt that the invitation must come from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He boggled over it by saying, \u201cDashed awkward place to get to, and nothing to see, of course. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re at all keen on fishing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRather,\u201d I said with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s deep water on the other side of the rock,\u201d he went on. \u201cIn the right weather you get splendid bass there.\u201d He stopped and then added, \u201cIt\u2019ll be absolutely top hole for \u2019em, this afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps I could come back \u2026\u201d I began; but the boatman interrupted me at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYew can coom back to-morrow, sure \u2018nough,\u201d he said. \u201cTide only serves wance avery twalve hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019d care to stay, now \u2026\u201d began the hermit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks! it\u2019s awfully good of you. I should like to of all things,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stayed on the clear understanding that the boatmen were to fetch me the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At first there was really very little that seemed in any way strange about the man on the Gulland. His name, he told me, was William Copley, but it appeared that he was no relation to the Copleys I knew. And if he had shaved he would have looked a very ordinary type of Englishman roughing it on a holiday. His age I judged to be between thirty and forty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only two things about him struck me as a little queer during our very successful afternoon\u2019s fishing. The first was that intense appraising stare of his, as if he tried to fathom the very depths of one\u2019s being. The second was an inexplicable devotion to one particular form of ceremony. As our intimacy grew, he dropped the ordinary formal politeness of a host; but he insisted always on one observance that I supposed at first to be the merely conventional business of giving precedence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing would induce him to go in front of me. He sent me ahead even as we explored the little purlieus of his rock \u2014 the only level square yard on the whole island was in the floor of the hut. But presently I noticed that this peculiarity went still further, and that he would not turn his back on me for a single moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That discovery intrigued one. I still excluded the explanation of madness \u2014 Copley\u2019s manner and conversation were so convincingly sane. But I reverted to and elaborated those other two suggestions that had been made. I could not avoid the inference that the man must in some strange way be afraid of me; and I hesitated as to whether he were flying from some form of justice or from revenge, perhaps a vendetta. Either theory seemed to account for his intense, appraising stare. I inferred that his longing for companionship had grown so strong that he had determined to risk the possibility of my being an emissary, sent by some \u2014 to me \u2014 exquisitely romantic person or persons who desired Copley\u2019s death. I recalled, and wallowed in, some of the marvellous imaginings of the novelist. I wondered if I could make Copley speak by convincing him of my innocent identity. How I thrilled at the prospect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the explanation of it all came without any effort on my part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sent me out of the hut while he prepared our supper \u2014 quite a magnificent meal, by the way. I saw his reason at once; he could not manage all that business of cooking and laying the table without turning his back on me. One thing, however, puzzled me a little; he drew down the blind of the little square window as soon as I had gone outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, I made no demur. I climbed down to the edge of the sea \u2014 it was a glorious evening \u2014 and waited until he called me. He stood at the door of the hut until I was within a few feet of him, and then retreated into the room and sat down with his back to the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discussed our afternoon\u2019s sport as we had supper, but when we had finished and our pipes were going, he said, suddenly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see why I shouldn\u2019t tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a fool, I agreed eagerly, when I might so easily have stopped him. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt began when I was quite a kid,\u201d he said. \u201cMy mother found me crying in the garden; and all I could tell her was that Claude, my elder brother, looked \u2018horrid.\u2019 I couldn\u2019t bear the sight of him for days afterwards, either; but I was such a perfectly normal child that they weren\u2019t seriously perturbed about this one idiosyncrasy of mine. They thought that Claude had \u2018made a face\u2019 at me, and frightened me. My father whacked me for it eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps that whacking stuck in my mind. Anyway, I didn\u2019t confide my peculiarity to anyone until I was nearly seventeen. I was ashamed of it, of course. I am still \u2014 in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stopped and looked down, pushed his plate away from him, and folded his arms on the table. I was pining to ask a question, but I was afraid to interrupt. And after a moment\u2019s hesitation he looked up and held my gaze again, but now without that inquiring look of his. Rather, he seemed to be looking for sympathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told my house-master,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was a splendid chap, and he was very decent about it; took it all quite seriously and advised me to consult an oculist, which I did. I went in the holidays with the pater \u2014 I had given him a more reasonable account of my trouble \u2014 and he took me to the best man in London. He was tremendously interested, and it proves that there must be something in it, that it can\u2019t be imagination, because he really found a defect in my eyes, something quite new to him, he said. He called it a new form of astigmatism; but, of course, as he pointed out, no glasses would be any use to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut what \u2026?\u201d I began, unable to keep down my curiosity any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copley hesitated, and dropped his eyes. \u201cAstigmatism, you know,\u201d he said, \u201cis a defect \u2014 I quote the dictionary, I learned that definition by heart; I often puzzle over it still\u2014 \u2018causing images of lines having a certain direction to be indistinctly seen, while those of lines transverse to the former are distinctly seen.\u2019 Only mine is peculiar in the fact that my sight is perfectly normal except when I look back at anyone over my shoulder.\u201d He looked up, almost pathetically. I could see that he hoped I might understand without further explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to confess myself utterly mystified. What had this trifling defect of vision to do with his coming to live on the Gulland, I wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I frowned my perplexity. \u201cBut I don\u2019t see \u2026\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knocked out his pipe and began to scrape the bowl with his pocket-knife. \u201cWell, mine is a kind of moral astigmatism, too,\u201d he said. \u201cAt least, it gives me a kind of moral insight. I\u2019m afraid I must call it insight. I\u2019ve proved in some cases that \u2026\u201d He dropped his voice. He was apparently deeply engrossed in the scraping out of his pipe. He kept his eyes on it as he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNormally, you understand, when I look at people straight in the face, I see them as anybody else sees them. But when I look back at them over my shoulder I see \u2026 oh! I see all their vices and defects. Their faces remain, in a sense, the same, perfectly recognisable, I mean, but distorted \u2014 beastly. \u2026 There was my brother Claude \u2014 good-looking chap, he was \u2014 but when I saw him \u2026 that way \u2026 he had a nose like a parrot, and he looked sort of weakly voracious \u2026 and vicious.\u201d He stopped and shuddered slightly, and then added: \u201cAnd one knows, now, that he is like that, too. He\u2019s just been hammered on the Stock Exchange, Rotten sort of failure it was. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd then Denison, my house-master, you know; such a decent chap. I never looked at him, that way, until the end of my last term at school. I had got into the habit, more or less, of never looking over my shoulder, you see. But I was always getting caught. That was an instance. I was playing for the School against the Old Boys. Denison called out, \u2018Good luck, old chap,\u2019 just as I was going in, and I forgot and looked back at him. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I waited, breathless, and as he did not go on, I prompted him with \u201cWas he \u2026 \u2018wrong,\u2019 too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copley nodded. \u201cWeak, poor devil. His eyes were all right, but they were fighting his mouth, if you know what I mean. There would have been an awful scandal at the school there, four years after I left, if they hadn\u2019t hushed it up and got Denison out of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, if you want any more instances, there was the oculist \u2014 big, fine chap, he was. Of course, he made me look at him over my shoulder, to test me. He asked me what I saw, and I told, more or less. He went simply livid for a moment. He was a sensualist, you see; and when I saw him that way he looked like some filthy old hog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe thing that really finished me,\u201d he went on, after a long interval, \u201cwas the breaking off of my engagement to Helen. We were frightfully in love with one another, and I told her about my trouble. She was very sympathetic, and I suppose rather sentimentally romantic, too. She believed it was some sort of spell that had been put on me. I think, anyway, she had a theory that if I once saw anybody truly and ordinarily over my shoulder, I should never have any more trouble \u2014 the spell-would-be-broken sort of thing. And, of course, she<\/em> wanted to be the person. I didn\u2019t resist her much. I was infatuated, I suppose. Anyway, I thought she was perfection and that it was simply impossible that I could find any defect in her. So I agreed, and looked \u2014 that way. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His voice had fallen to an even note of despondency, as though the telling of this final tragedy in his life had brought him to the indifference of despair. \u201cI looked,\u201d he continued, \u201cand saw a creature with no chin and watery, doting eyes; a faithful, slobbery thing \u2014 eugh! I can\u2019t. \u2026 I never spoke to her again. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat broke me, you know,\u201d he said presently. \u201cAfter that I didn\u2019t care. I used to look at everyone that way, until I had to get away from humanity. I was living in a world of beasts. Most of them looked like some beast or bird or other. The strong were vicious and criminal; and the weak were loathsome. I couldn\u2019t stick it. In the end \u2014 I had to come here away from them all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thought occurred to me. \u201cHave you ever looked at yourself in the glass?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He nodded. \u201cI\u2019m no better than the rest of them,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I grew this rotten beard. I haven\u2019t got a looking-glass here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you can\u2019t keep a stiff neck, as it were,\u201d I asked, \u201cgoing about looking humanity straight in the face?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe temptation is too strong,\u201d Copley said. \u201cAnd it gets stronger. Curiosity, partly, I suppose; but partly it\u2019s the momentary sense of superiority it gives you. You see them like that, you know, and forget how you look yourself. And then after a bit it sickens you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t \u2026\u201d I said, and hesitated. I wanted to know, and yet I was horribly afraid. \u201cYou haven\u2019t,\u201d I began again, \u201cer \u2014 you haven\u2019t \u2014 er \u2014 looked at me yet \u2026 that way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you suppose \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProbably. You look all right, of course. But then so did heaps of the others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve no idea how<\/em> I should look to you, that way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbsolutely none. I\u2019ve been trying to guess, but I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t care \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot now,\u201d he said sharply. \u201cPerhaps, just before you go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou feel fairly certain, then \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He nodded with disgusting conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to bed, wondering whether Helen\u2019s theory wasn\u2019t a true one; and if I might not break the spell for poor Copley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The boatmen came for me soon after eleven next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had shaken off some of the feeling of superstitious horror that had held me overnight, and I had not repeated my request to Copley; nor had he offered to look into the dark places of my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He came down after me to the landing-place and we shook hands warmly, but he said nothing about my revisiting him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, just as we were putting off, he turned back towards the hut and looked at me over his shoulder \u2014 just one quick glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait,\u201d I commanded the boatmen, and I stood up and called to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI say, Copley,\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned and looked at me, and I saw that his face was transfigured. He wore an expression of foolish disgust and loathing. I had seen something like it on the face of an idiot child who was just going to be sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dropped down into the boat and turned my back on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered then if that was how he had seen himself in the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since I have only wondered what it was he saw in me. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I can never go back to ask him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
