When first you left your home you had no idea that I
was the hidden impulse. The ladies were, as usual, very gaily dressed; and as usual, also, had
resorted to art to heighten their attractions—
From patches, justly placed, they borrow'd graces,
And with vermilion lacquer'd o'er their faces. ”
Part 4
They sat with tea and strawberries and cream before them at a little table in
front of the pavilion in Regent’s Park. Her heels made contact with Rhea’s knees and hobbled
her with a crack. “I did,” Anna answered. “I might return the compliment, Courtlaw,” he answered, “by asking why the
devil you come lurching on to the pavement like a drunken man. ‘You damned little fool! How dared you steal my sword?’
Her eyes flew open. Forgive me, but you have been looking, have you not, for
some employment?”
“Quite true!” she answered. “I don’t think you realize,” Ann Veronica began again, “that I am rather a
defective human being. The quiet encounter and home-coming
Ann Veronica and she had contemplated was entirely disorganized by this
misadventure; there were no adequate explanations, and after they had settled
things at Ann Veronica’s lodgings, they reached home in the early afternoon
estranged and depressed, with headaches and the trumpet voice of the
indomitable Kitty Brett still ringing in their ears. “You didn’t expect that I should kiss you?”
“How was I to know that a man would—would think it was possible—when
there was nothing—no love?”
“How did I know there wasn’t love?”
That silenced her for a moment. How she had fought her eagerness in the beginning, lest it reveal her ignorance
of the marvels of mankind! The terror and ecstasy of that night in Singapore—
the first city she had ever seen! There was still the impression that something
akin to a miracle had piloted her successfully from one ordeal to another.
