narrow head drove backwards and forwards.

Not till January
Not till January.George ran down stairs and pushed them into the room without speaking. she clapped her hands. those are my reasons for not being your wife. I have been worrying all the morning. he is certain to know. Athens is a plunge.Then you dont see the wonder of this Greek visit. Now.And me. something would even happen to Windy Corner. have you any brothers or sistersNone. absolutely ignoring Miss Bartlett you dont mean that you are going to marry that manThe line was unexpected. Minnie dear jam) Why not Tunbridge Wells Oh. like human crowds and that the power they have over us is sometimes supernatural. Ah.It is a question between ideals.

 and stared stupidly into the hall. I dare say you are used to something better. though they were sunken deep. who was thoroughly frightened.GoalGoalPassTake care my watch cried Mr. looking round intelligently at the end of each sentence. There Now for the garden. But they were conscious of a love more mysterious than this. I think he puts it well. big or little. nor. I havent told Cecil or any one. No one is perfect. Therefore Cecil was welcome to bring the Emersons into the neighbourhood.I was coming to show you this delightful letter from those friends of Miss Honeychurch. They were silent. It was necessary to keep clean.

 But something in the dying evening.Oh. I have been into the dark. You have to go cold into a battle that needs warmth.Lucy Lucy what a nuisance I am protested Miss Bartlett. George. thank you. he added apologetically. and even with Cecil she was mechanical. she had some one else in her mind she hopes to get some one else. Things must come to a breaking point some time. Could any one give her change Freddy had half a quid and his friend had four half crowns. I know. He really wont be any nuisance. Satisfactory yet surely she greeted it with disproportionate joy.Lucy had plenty to say in reply.Miss Bartlett burst into florid gratitude.

 to his relief and surprise. The Santa Conversazione was broken up. with trembling lips. He had never fathomed Miss Bartlett. when should I wear them said Miss Bartlett reproachfully. to the nonsense of school girls She had bowed across the rubbish that cumbers the world. She was reduced to saying: I cant help it. Truth does count. she said. Vyse is going with you. Ill just finish your sock. said Cecil.Certainly you can. seized with incontrollable anger.Mrs. and our dear view and then share a flat with another girl.Who may Miss Lavish beOh.

 The darkness was coming on.Mr.How delightful said Lucy. and fussed round no end to get an egg boiled for my tea just right. not by Phaethon. Eager he came when I was out.Why.She longed to shout the words It is all right. In spite of the season.Your anxious and loving cousin.Unable to answer this question. But we have souls. on her finger a ring set with rubies an engagement ring. She thanked me for coming till I felt like such a fool. over others their inmates had fidgeted sedulously. I behaved like a cad to Beebe and to your brother. said her mother.

I do not feel myself an ordinary visitor. If you help we may succeed. We women go maundering on. I do not love George I broke off my engagement because I did not love George I must go to Greece because I do not love George it is more important that I should look up gods in the dictionary than that I should help my mother every one else is behaving very badly. disgusted at the scrappy entertainment. though. she had thought. said Mr. I wouldnt do that with all this muddle. who seemed such a fortuitous collection. You arent like yourself. pines. The situation was so glorious. I have upset everything. But I suppose one ought to read it as ones met her. I was saying. I called.

 when he was unhappy. and led the way out of the house and into the pine woods. said Lucy bitterly. George Emerson could come to tennis on the Sunday week. and Exactly. or mean too much. and in the midst of them Lucy escaped. Lucy. would not come forth in an effective form. Mrs. at the springing of one of the great buttresses that supported the hill. how could you have told her I have thought before speaking it must be you. I had a letter from Charlotte while I was away in London. I have just used you as a peg for my silly notions of what a woman should be. who were walking down to call on old Mrs. Its pouring again. if our poor little Cockney lives must have a background.

 said George.Cecil happened to read out the passage aloud to me and to Mr. you know best. I will try. as a matter of fact. Only. my darling. The weather was breaking up.Why shouldnt I laugh he asked.Not so that one could recognize it. became bewildered and rendered up the sovereign. and he too asserted the wonder of the water. but loitered disconsolately at the landing window. until all things came to a point. his long. Miss Bartlett not favouring the scheme. mother.

 but bewildering to practice. but the true chivalry that all the young may show to all the old awoke in her. do come. Perhaps anything that he did would have pleased Lucy. Somewhat mollified.But my feelings are of no importance. mother People will hear you for they had entered Mudies. For they were to pick up Miss Bartlett at Summer Street. Cecil is teaching Lucy Italian. and stared stupidly into the hall. encircled by blue seas that under Parnassus. and then. To whom do you refer Trust whomI mean she has pretended to you that she did not love George. and with certain accessories. theres Cecil. oh. He is never ill.

 And as if he had done all else. he said. Any rag. sky. a filial crowd. They have sinned against Eros and against Pallas Athene. he said Im so glad you only talked about books. because of all the cant with which superstition has wrapped it round. But she knew in her heart that she could not trust him.The Sunday after Miss Bartletts arrival was a glorious day. and all kinds of terrible to doingsI cant remember all Charlottes worries. she answered. Never heard of it. playing a note for each person who knew. It had become a great thing now. I wont be protected. She conquered her breakdown.

 She doesnt like it.Didnt she say how she was How does she sound CheerfulOh. so I was going to say selfish. She found the girl sitting upright with her hand on her cheek. Oh for goodness sake. it isnt purely coincidentally that you are here now. but how stupidlyAll the fighting that mattered had been done by others by Italy. Beebe to get up the names of the goddesses and gods.It was a Saturday afternoon. Beebe planned pleasant moments for the new-comers. I have. stern voice I am more grieved than I can possibly express. Mr. said her mothers voice. No. he read. Beebe.

Of course I dont think that. Beebe. said George. pinning her with his elbows. amidst the suppressed gurgles of the other youths. She was not to be trapped by pathos a second time. as if it would tell him that little more. He turned back into the room. Cecil Mr. but I know better now. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. of course. You were all right as long as you kept to things.Tunbridge Wells. and she did not want to overhaul herself she did not know it was done. and have tea at a table comfortably. have you.

 He would improve me in places where I cant be improved. never occurred to them. lifting his eyes. Emerson all he wants. who had been ostentatiously drinking his tea at the view. Miss Honeychurch Shall we slip back into the darkness for everI dont know. they bathed to get cool. not for women. I have reflected. You must see that it would be too absurd. coincidences are much rarer than we suppose. Explanations took place. before you felt you wouldnt marry me. the people who really love us are sure to come back to us in the long run.AlasThe truth is. Emerson knows. No one opens my letters.

 and came running back for Vyses match box. I have to. was the acid reply. Leonora speeding across the square. Vyse does stop behind in England. Ignorant of the events of yesterday he was only riding over to get some tea. so reticent. These admirable ladies. Dress now.She followed the maid into the Rectory.How well did you know them at the Bertolini asked Mrs. look at that. clever answers where Yes or No would have done. Beebe. a cry the cry of nightmare rang from Lucys room. So the Emersons had gone. You have taught me better.

 said Mr. of course. and became better. What nonsense I have talked how abstract and remote And I have made you cry Dear girl. and he goes bathing with your brother. At her throat is a garnet brooch.No. Beebe came to the rescue. while Cecil invariably lingered.So I hoped other people would think. Emerson is here to entertain us. Beebe poked at a crumb with his knife. mother that doesnt matter a bit. She remembered how he had sighed among the tombs at Santa Croce because things wouldnt fit how after the death of that obscure Italian he had leant over the parapet by the Arno and said to her I shall want to live. she gazed at the black head again. but should never be Art throbbed in its disjected phrases. narrow head drove backwards and forwards.
