ANN VERONICA TALKS TO HER FATHER
Part 1
One Wednesday afternoon in late September, Ann Veronica Stanley came
down from London in a state of solemn excitement and quite resolved to have
things out with her father that very evening. Deep
verandas ran around the bungalows, with bamboo drops which were always
down in the daytime, fending off the treacherous sunshine. "
She kindled with sympathy. Spurlock was fond of dogs; he was fond of this offspring of many mesalliances;
but he never made any attempt to win Rollo, to share him. She ran down alleyways and between buildings,
faster than an Olympian, until she could hear his voice no
more. She stole the opportunity to peer at his departing
figure from the closed curtains of the front room
window, his shoulders slumped forward, his posture and
his ego slightly deflated. I
said to myself at once, ‘Either this is a coincidence or the caper sauce. Love—admiration for
your matchless beauty alone sways me. The word handsome was a little beyond her grasp. Taking the opposite course from that which he had hitherto pursued
when it has been necessary to attend him in his visits to the lower part of his
premises, he struck into a narrow passage on the right, which he tracked till he
came to a small door, like the approach to a vault. She allowed herself to be ejected,
therefore, and retired to the parlour after cleansing the blood from her hands and
her own slight wound in the kitchen.
