The looming face was
71
over her own once again, and arms as strong as iron bars
held her down. She rose
from her chair, and began walking up and down the room restlessly. “Don’t they look like a pair of young lovers sleeping
off a tryst?” He observed. But what did the occupant of the box care? The laugh was always with the dead:
they were out of the muddle. It would be useless to tell her to go back, even
heartless; and yet he could not advise her to go on, blindly, not knowing whether
her aunt was dead or alive. I’m going up
to London with the Widgetts to that ball. I've often regretted that I didn't investigate the matter. To
make Ruth pay for the whole shot! To wash away his sin by crucifying her: that
was precisely what he had set about. I wanted something alive. He was
manifestly exerting his mind for her, and she found herself fully disposed to
justify his interest. I've seen
many a clever cracksman, but never one like him. But for all that, it offered relief; his brain, stupefied by the fumes, grew
dull, and conscience lost its edge to bite.
