He did not notice that Ann Veronica was preoccupied
and heavy-eyed. Battle, murder, and sudden
death—and an old chap like McClintock tuning his piano in the midst of it. Who is she, I say?”
“My sister!” Annabel faltered. ’
Melusine frowned, placing her hand on the letter lying on the table. Her features are the same, yet the change has written its mark into her
face. . It was an
unspoken curfew in the Beck house on week nights. The wall was of considerable
thickness, and built altogether of stone; and the noise he was compelled to make
in using the heavy bar, which brought sparks with every splinter he struck off,
was so great, that he feared it must be heard by the prisoners on the Debtors'
side. You will make her suffer. Do you think it’s
nothing to me to have my daughter running about London looking for odd jobs
and disgracing herself?”
“Sha’n’t get odd jobs,” said Ann Veronica, wiping her eyes. Love is a great thing, and happiness a joy. Can it ever be so good again?”
Ann Veronica put out a firm hand and squeezed his arm. She got a
bun and some cocoa in the little refreshment-room, and then wandered through
the galleries up-stairs, crowded with Polynesian idols and Polynesian dancinggarments, and all the simple immodest accessories to life in Polynesia, to a seat
among the mummies.
