“After all,” she said, “if this person will not be reasonable, I am afraid——”
It was enough. ’
He made a pretence of rising and making a sortie to the corner to see if anyone
was there. Rows of roasted duck, brilliantly varnished; luscious vegetables, which
she had been warned against; baskets of melon seed and water-chestnuts; men
working in teak and blackwood; fan makers and jade cutters; eggs preserved in
what appeared to her as petrified muck; bird's nests and shark fins. Eventually this comradeship
(slightly resented by Rollo) reached a point where he could call out from the
study: "Hey, Ruth!—come and tell me what you think of this. That
wrappered life, as you call it—we’ve burned the confounded rags! Danced out of
it! We’re stark!”
“Stark!” echoed Ann Veronica. Contrasted with the confused
movement and presences of a Fabian meeting, or the inexplicable enthusiasm
behind the suffrage demand, with the speeches that were partly egotistical
displays, partly artful manoeuvres, and partly incoherent cries for unsoundly
formulated ends, compared with the comings and goings of audiences and
supporters that were like the eddy-driven drift of paper in the street, this long,
quiet, methodical chamber shone like a star seen through clouds. ‘For kissing you, or for not meaning to do so?’
‘Imbecile,’ exclaimed Melusine impatiently. Her aunt returned before the
packing was done, and Ann Veronica lunched with an uneasy sense of bag and
hold-all packed up-stairs and inadequately hidden from chance intruders by the
valance of the bed. Meanwhile, she
doesn’t realize she’s pregnant and he’s still after her, day
after day.
