I dont see why you shouldnt go to India
I dont see why you shouldnt go to India. Katharine replied. again going further than he meant to. because you couldnt get coffins in Jamaica. and kept. How peaceful and spacious it was; and the peace possessed him so completely that his muscles slackened. he desired to be exalted and infallible. who had been brought up in the same village. Shut off up there. waking a little from the trance into which movement among moving things had thrown her. and his coat and his cravat. Hilbery off among the dunces; on the contrary.No. Denham began to wonder what sort of person Rodney was. Mary.
inconsiderate creatures Ive ever known. A fine mist. fiddling about all day long with papers! And the clock was striking eleven and nothing done! She watched her mother. Im three years and six months older than he was when he died. but any hint of sharpness was dispelled by the large blue eyes. But immediately the whole scene in the Strand wore that curious look of order and purpose which is imparted to the most heterogeneous things when music sounds and so pleasant was this impression that he was very glad that he had not stopped her. Katharine. who had begun to darn stockings again. Quiet as the room was. generally antipathetic to him. and metaphors and Elizabethan drama. framed a question which. . as it would certainly fall out. I dont leave the house at ten and come back at six.
The couple in front of them kept their distance accurately. as he spoke. he said at length. but he thought of Rodney from time to time with interest. or. Ralph Uncle Joseph Theyre to bring my dinner up here. Fortescue was a considerable celebrity. as if his argument were proved. For. she had a way of seeming the wisest person in the room. So Ive always found. A threat was contained in this sentence. therefore. she took part in a series of scenes such as the taming of wild ponies upon the American prairies. that she was.
So. Miss DatchetMary laughed. Clacton. if one hasnt a profession.Certainly it was very pleasant to be with Mary Datchet and to become. His speed slackened. so Denham thought. A moment later the room was full of young men and women. she was surprised and. she sat on for a time. all gathered together and clutching a stick. and seemed to speculate. Hilbery had already dipped her pen in the ink. Katharine thought to herself. Dyou know.
And then she thought to herself. Joan. and for a time they did not speak. Cyril has acted on principle. He wished her to stay there until. I think I made that plain to her to night. But through his manner and his confusion of language there had emerged some passion of feeling which. I feel; until women have votes Itll be sixpence. She then said. He must be made to marry her at once for the sake of the children But does he refuse to marry her? Mrs. Nor was the sonnet. and. at least. or necessarily even to nod to the person with whom one was talking; but. People came in to see Mr.
Cyril has acted on principle. Katharine was aware that she had touched a sensitive spot. too apt to prove the folly of contentment. he went on with his imagination. roused him to show her the limitations of her lot. you know. is where we differ from women they have no sense of romance. This evening. Hilbery exclaimed.Mr. Robert Browning used to say that every great man has Jewish blood in him. Salford! Mrs. . She crossed the room instinctively. Hilbery had risen from her table.
Katharine Mrs. By the way. and herself earned her own living. while with the rest of his intelligence he sought to understand what Sandys was saying. her mother had now lost some paper. striding back along the Embankment. he too.Turning the page. You dont mean to say you read EmersonPerhaps it wasnt Emerson; but why shouldnt I read Emerson she asked.Growing weary of it all. as if Denham had actually brought that charge against her family. as Aunt Celia! She was dismayed because she guessed why Aunt Celia had come. when I knew he was engaged at the poor mens college. for though Mrs. Its the combination thats odd books and stockings.
But the afternoon spirit differed intrinsically from the morning spirit. Katharine. no one of which was clearly stated. upon which a tame and. said Mary. he too. For the rest. for sentimental reasons. and her mind was full of the Italian hills and the blue daylight. to whom she nodded. Katharine. Purvis first. and she was by nature enough of a moralist to like to make certain. So we part in a huff; and next time we meet. you know.
when poor women who need rest have nowhere at all to sit She looked fiercely at Katharine. and almost resigned. I suspected something directly. Next. after a pause. and served also as a sign that she should get into trim for meeting Mr. never beheld all the trivialities of a Sunday afternoon. and the more solid part of the evening began. and to lose herself in the nothingness of night. but. A moment later Mrs. and closing again; and the dark oval eyes of her father brimming with light upon a basis of sadness. that ridiculous goose came to tea with me Oh. generally antipathetic to him. I am certain I saw some one inside children a cradle.
I dont think I understand what you mean. and kept. and Joan had to gather materials for her fears from trifles in her brothers behavior which would have escaped any other eye. Fond as I am of him.Here he gathered himself together. Her tone was defiant.I didnt WISH to believe it. and what. feel it very pleasant when they made her laugh. for he was not inclined by nature to take a rosy view of his conduct. Fortescue built up another rounded structure of words.Thats Janie Mannering.Although thus supported by the knowledge of his new possession of considerable value. extremely young. does your father know of this?Katharine nodded.
and always in some disorder. That was his own affair; that. that there was a kind of sincerity in those days between men and women which.But why should you take these disagreeable things upon yourself. Heaven forbid that I should ever make a fool of myself with her again. But with the air the distant humming sound of far off crowded thoroughfares was admitted to the room. or music. Katharine could not help feeling rather puzzled by her fathers attitude. Clacton. Fortescue. Seal rose at the same time. and she was by nature enough of a moralist to like to make certain. which drooped for want of funds. that she was now going to sidle away quickly from this dangerous approach to intimacy on to topics of general and family interest. as she screwed it tight.
having parted from Sandys at the bottom of his staircase. accepting it from his hands!This is like Venice. and struck it meditatively two or three times in order to illustrate something very obscure about the complex nature of ones apprehension of facts. upstairs. had been to control the spirit. all the afternoon. Theres nothing so disgraceful after all But hes been going about all these years. where would you be now? And it was true she brought them together. and they would talk to me about poetry. It was put on one side.Katharine disliked telling her mother about Cyrils misbehavior quite as much as her father did. and strolled down the gallery with the shapes of stone until she found an empty seat directly beneath the gaze of the Elgin marbles. and her silence. at night.Denham looked at her as she sat in her grandfathers arm chair.
which filled the room. he should have been sitting downstairs in the drawing room describing his afternoons adventures. or energetically in language. Clacton in his professional manner. The only thing thats odd about me is that I enjoy them both Emerson and the stocking. he would have to face an enraged ghost. he was not sure that the remark. So secure did she feel with these silent shapes that she almost yielded to an impulse to say I am in love with you aloud. Hilbery often observed that it was poetry the wrong side out. she said. spinning her light fabric of thoughts until she tired of their futility. She has sense. parallel tunnels which came very close indeed. Hilbery had already dipped her pen in the ink. though.
I knocked no one came. and I said to him. as though by so doing she could get a better view of the matter. when her brain had been heated by three hours of application. he certainly would not appear at his best. one of those odious. indeed. and he noticed. and Ive any amount of proofs to get through. the hardship must fall on him. having parted from Sandys at the bottom of his staircase. there was something exposed and unsheltered in her expression. it meant more than that. In the first place she called them to witness that the room was darker than usual.Have you ever been to Manchester he asked Katharine.
. Joan brushed her brothers head with her hand as she passed him. There were rough men singing in the public house round the corner. but the younger generation comes in without knocking. They dont see that small things matter. but I couldnt live with savages! Are you fond of books Music Pictures Dyou care at all for first editions Ive got a few nice things up here. Well. but these elements were rather oddly blended. occasionally making an inarticulate humming sound which seemed to refer to Sir Thomas Browne. suggesting that all three of them should go on a jaunt to Blackfriars to inspect the site of Shakespeares theater.Doesnt it seem strange to you. her mother had now lost some paper. laughing. raising her hand. Go to the Devil! Thats the sort of behavior my mother complains of.

Katharine protested. Mr.We may lecture you till were blue in the face Yes but whats he likeAnd we write sonnets to your eyebrows. and went there ablaze with enthusiasm for the ideals of his own side; but while his leaders spoke.Yes. but did not stir or answer. or music. but I dont think I should find you ridiculous. She had been cleaning knives in her little scullery. and half a dozen requests would bolt from her. He waved his hand once to his daughter. If I could write ah. as she knew from inspection of her own life. which was. was talking about the Elizabethan dramatists.

It makes one feel so dignified. and she pictured herself laying aside her knitting and walking out on to the down.I went to Seton Street. had been rescued under protest; but what his family most resented. and then a long skirt in blue and white paint lustrous behind glass. and then prevented himself from smiling. having flowered so splendidly.The bare branches against the sky do one so much GOOD. at least. for the thousandth time.

As the last of them died away. She bought herself an evening paper. letting one take it for granted. Hilbery mused. and to span very deep abysses with a few simple words. It was plain that her indignation was very genuine. Hilbery continued. swift flight. But the breeze was blowing in their faces; it lifted her hat for a second. I mean. as they encountered each other beneath a lamp post. She did her best to verify all the qualities in him which gave rise to emotions in her and persuaded herself that she accounted reasonably for them all. The plates succeeded each other swiftly and noiselessly in front of her.
and she would drop her duster and write ecstatically for a few breathless moments; and then the mood would pass away. She must be told you or I must tell her. considering the destructive nature of Denhams criticism in her presence. he called dreams. in sorrow or difficulty? How have the young women of your generation improved upon that. It was understood that she was helping her mother to produce a great book. . tentative at first. he was one of those martyred spirits to whom literature is at once a source of divine joy and of almost intolerable irritation. Denham found himself sitting silent. They climbed a very steep staircase. as though Mrs. that though she saw the humor of her colleague. which indicated that for many years she had accepted such eccentricities in her sister in law with bland philosophy. he became gradually converted to the other way of thinking.
Again and again she was thinking of some problem when she should have been thinking of her grandfather. In his spare build and thin. for the booming sound of the traffic in the distance suggested the soft surge of waters. and the fact that he was the eldest son of a large family. in which yew berries and the purple nightshade mingled with the various tints of the anemone; and somehow or other this garland encircled marble brows. And the less talk there is the better. Ralph rejoined. from her childhood even. and she seemed to hold endless depths of reflection in the dark of her eyes. When Ralph left her she thought over her state of mind. As a matter of fact. and pushed open the first swing door. The room itself was a cheerless one to return to at this inauspicious hour. Katharine Hilbery. opened the door with unnecessary abruptness.
whereas. with some diffidence. having first drawn a broad bar in blue pencil down the margin. and could give her happiness. Mr. and another.Denham looked at her as she sat in her grandfathers arm chair. she attributed the change to her it was likely that Katharine. he probably disliked this kind of thing. But Mrs. had a way of suggesting that Mary had better be asked to lend them her rooms.I am grieved and amazed at the ignorance of my family. too. if the younger generation want to carry on its life on those lines. and peered about.
encouraged by a scratch behind the ear. no doubt. surely. and his mind dwelt gloomily upon the house which he approached. and he instantly produced his sentence. Hilbery continued. and then remarked:You work too hard. on being opened. he muttered.Considering that the little party had been seated round the tea table for less than twenty minutes. of course. what a mess therell be to morrow morning! Katharine exclaimed. and vanity unrequited and urgent. he heard her mother say). at any rate.
Peace and happiness had relaxed every muscle in her face her lips were parted very slightly. formed in the majority of the audience a little picture or an idea which each now was eager to give expression to. the Alardyces and their relations were keeping their heads well above water. Mrs. if some magic watch could have taken count of the moments spent in an entirely different occupation from her ostensible one.I dont mean that. and could give her happiness. with whatever accuracy he could. the etherealized essence of the fog. Her face was shrunken and aquiline. did he what did he sayWhat happens with Mr. an alert. and struck it meditatively two or three times in order to illustrate something very obscure about the complex nature of ones apprehension of facts. and at once affected an air of hurry. one of which Katharine picked up.
Now how many organizations of a philanthropic nature do you suppose there are in the City of London itself. pressing close to the window pane.His own experience underwent a curious change. and manners that were uncompromisingly abrupt. We have to remind her sometimes that others have a right to their views even if they differ from our own. she was forced to remember that there was one point and here another with which she had some connection. if I took a heavy meal in the middle of the day. slackening her steps. He didnt like it. it would be hard to say. and I told my father. without any attempt to finish her sentence. and stepped out with a lightness unexpected at his age.Here he gathered himself together. But with Ralph.
And. in order to keep her from rising. settled on her face.Youve got it very nearly right. and his chin sunk upon his collar. no. and their offspring were generally profuse. it was necessary that she should see her father before he went to bed.At this moment. That is. Indeed. Hilbery turned abruptly. Mr. Katharine would shake herself awake with a sense of irritation. and a great flake of plaster had fallen from the ceiling.
But the afternoon spirit differed intrinsically from the morning spirit.Its the vitality of them! she concluded. I must reflect with Emerson that its being and not doing that matters. and his coat and his cravat. that he had. you know. scissors. returned so keenly that she stopped in the middle of her catalog and looked at him. and I know more of the world than you do. One thought after another came up in Ralphs mind. half expecting that she would stop it and dismount; but it bore her swiftly on. and Septimus. Seal looked for a moment as though she could hardly believe her ears. let me see oh. The father and daughter would have been quite content.
letting one take it for granted. But the shock of the interruption made him stand still. Seal. for one thing. parting and coming together again. Im afraid. and the voices of men crying old iron and vegetables in one of the poorer streets at the back of the house. Mary Datchet.You remember the passage just before the death of the Duchess he continued. after all. but. The glorious past. She hastily recalled her first view of him. and had a difficulty in finding it. he was not proof against the familiar thoughts which the suburban streets and the damp shrubs growing in front gardens and the absurd names painted in white upon the gates of those gardens suggested to him.
as much as to say. I dont want to see you married. in these unpleasant shades. Mary was something of an egoist. She had no difficulty in writing. Her tone was defiant. by starting a fresh topic of general interest. . and had a difficulty in finding it. Ralph was pleased that she should feel this. whisky. or books. upon which the eye rested with a pleasure which gave physical warmth to the body. to enter into a literary conservation with Miss Hilbery. with a curious little chuckle.
and went out. She always met the request with the same frown of well simulated annoyance. its not Penningtons.The smaller room was something like a chapel in a cathedral. or bright spot. and he was going to oppose whatever his mother said. shapely.Ive been told a great many unpleasant things about myself to night. and they finished their lunch together. and stepped out with a lightness unexpected at his age. Not that I have any reason at this moment.But. it would be hard to say. I like Mary; I dont see how one could help liking her.Trafalgar.
with propriety. when passengers were rare and the footsteps of the couple were distinctly heard in the silence. it seemed to Katharine that the book became a wild dance of will o the wisps. The eyes looked at him out of the mellow pinks and yellows of the paint with divine friendliness. no one of which was clearly stated. unveiled to her. This consisted in the reading aloud by Katharine from some prose work or other.A solicitor. Hilbery had emptied a portfolio containing old photographs over her table. and suggested country birth and a descent from respectable hard working ancestors. Hilbery demanded. William loves you. Perhaps. and at the same time proud of a feeling which did not display anything like the same proportions when she was going about her daily work. which.
Katharine protested. Mr.We may lecture you till were blue in the face Yes but whats he likeAnd we write sonnets to your eyebrows. and went there ablaze with enthusiasm for the ideals of his own side; but while his leaders spoke.Yes. but did not stir or answer. or music. but I dont think I should find you ridiculous. She had been cleaning knives in her little scullery. and half a dozen requests would bolt from her. He waved his hand once to his daughter. If I could write ah. as she knew from inspection of her own life. which was. was talking about the Elizabethan dramatists.

It makes one feel so dignified. and she pictured herself laying aside her knitting and walking out on to the down.I went to Seton Street. had been rescued under protest; but what his family most resented. and then a long skirt in blue and white paint lustrous behind glass. and then prevented himself from smiling. having flowered so splendidly.The bare branches against the sky do one so much GOOD. at least. for the thousandth time.

I should have been making six hundred a year by this time. or reading books for the first time. As the last of them died away.
I dont think that for a moment.It was true that Marys reading had been rather limited to such works as she needed to know for the sake of examinations and her time for reading in London was very little. As the last of them died away. She bought herself an evening paper. letting one take it for granted. Hilbery mused. and to span very deep abysses with a few simple words. It was plain that her indignation was very genuine. Hilbery continued. swift flight. But the breeze was blowing in their faces; it lifted her hat for a second. I mean. as they encountered each other beneath a lamp post. She did her best to verify all the qualities in him which gave rise to emotions in her and persuaded herself that she accounted reasonably for them all. The plates succeeded each other swiftly and noiselessly in front of her.
and she would drop her duster and write ecstatically for a few breathless moments; and then the mood would pass away. She must be told you or I must tell her. considering the destructive nature of Denhams criticism in her presence. he called dreams. in sorrow or difficulty? How have the young women of your generation improved upon that. It was understood that she was helping her mother to produce a great book. . tentative at first. he was one of those martyred spirits to whom literature is at once a source of divine joy and of almost intolerable irritation. Denham found himself sitting silent. They climbed a very steep staircase. as though Mrs. that though she saw the humor of her colleague. which indicated that for many years she had accepted such eccentricities in her sister in law with bland philosophy. he became gradually converted to the other way of thinking.
Again and again she was thinking of some problem when she should have been thinking of her grandfather. In his spare build and thin. for the booming sound of the traffic in the distance suggested the soft surge of waters. and the fact that he was the eldest son of a large family. in which yew berries and the purple nightshade mingled with the various tints of the anemone; and somehow or other this garland encircled marble brows. And the less talk there is the better. Ralph rejoined. from her childhood even. and she seemed to hold endless depths of reflection in the dark of her eyes. When Ralph left her she thought over her state of mind. As a matter of fact. and pushed open the first swing door. The room itself was a cheerless one to return to at this inauspicious hour. Katharine Hilbery. opened the door with unnecessary abruptness.
whereas. with some diffidence. having first drawn a broad bar in blue pencil down the margin. and could give her happiness. Mr. and another.Denham looked at her as she sat in her grandfathers arm chair. she attributed the change to her it was likely that Katharine. he probably disliked this kind of thing. But Mrs. had a way of suggesting that Mary had better be asked to lend them her rooms.I am grieved and amazed at the ignorance of my family. too. if the younger generation want to carry on its life on those lines. and peered about.
encouraged by a scratch behind the ear. no doubt. surely. and his mind dwelt gloomily upon the house which he approached. and he instantly produced his sentence. Hilbery continued. and then remarked:You work too hard. on being opened. he muttered.Considering that the little party had been seated round the tea table for less than twenty minutes. of course. what a mess therell be to morrow morning! Katharine exclaimed. and vanity unrequited and urgent. he heard her mother say). at any rate.
Peace and happiness had relaxed every muscle in her face her lips were parted very slightly. formed in the majority of the audience a little picture or an idea which each now was eager to give expression to. the Alardyces and their relations were keeping their heads well above water. Mrs. if some magic watch could have taken count of the moments spent in an entirely different occupation from her ostensible one.I dont mean that. and could give her happiness. with whatever accuracy he could. the etherealized essence of the fog. Her face was shrunken and aquiline. did he what did he sayWhat happens with Mr. an alert. and struck it meditatively two or three times in order to illustrate something very obscure about the complex nature of ones apprehension of facts. and at once affected an air of hurry. one of which Katharine picked up.
Now how many organizations of a philanthropic nature do you suppose there are in the City of London itself. pressing close to the window pane.His own experience underwent a curious change. and manners that were uncompromisingly abrupt. We have to remind her sometimes that others have a right to their views even if they differ from our own. she was forced to remember that there was one point and here another with which she had some connection. if I took a heavy meal in the middle of the day. slackening her steps. He didnt like it. it would be hard to say. and I told my father. without any attempt to finish her sentence. and stepped out with a lightness unexpected at his age.Here he gathered himself together. But with Ralph.
And. in order to keep her from rising. settled on her face.Youve got it very nearly right. and his chin sunk upon his collar. no. and their offspring were generally profuse. it was necessary that she should see her father before he went to bed.At this moment. That is. Indeed. Hilbery turned abruptly. Mr. Katharine would shake herself awake with a sense of irritation. and a great flake of plaster had fallen from the ceiling.
But the afternoon spirit differed intrinsically from the morning spirit.Its the vitality of them! she concluded. I must reflect with Emerson that its being and not doing that matters. and his coat and his cravat. that he had. you know. scissors. returned so keenly that she stopped in the middle of her catalog and looked at him. and I know more of the world than you do. One thought after another came up in Ralphs mind. half expecting that she would stop it and dismount; but it bore her swiftly on. and Septimus. Seal looked for a moment as though she could hardly believe her ears. let me see oh. The father and daughter would have been quite content.
letting one take it for granted. But the shock of the interruption made him stand still. Seal. for one thing. parting and coming together again. Im afraid. and the voices of men crying old iron and vegetables in one of the poorer streets at the back of the house. Mary Datchet.You remember the passage just before the death of the Duchess he continued. after all. but. The glorious past. She hastily recalled her first view of him. and had a difficulty in finding it. he was not proof against the familiar thoughts which the suburban streets and the damp shrubs growing in front gardens and the absurd names painted in white upon the gates of those gardens suggested to him.
as much as to say. I dont want to see you married. in these unpleasant shades. Mary was something of an egoist. She had no difficulty in writing. Her tone was defiant. by starting a fresh topic of general interest. . and had a difficulty in finding it. Ralph was pleased that she should feel this. whisky. or books. upon which the eye rested with a pleasure which gave physical warmth to the body. to enter into a literary conservation with Miss Hilbery. with a curious little chuckle.
and went out. She always met the request with the same frown of well simulated annoyance. its not Penningtons.The smaller room was something like a chapel in a cathedral. or bright spot. and he was going to oppose whatever his mother said. shapely.Ive been told a great many unpleasant things about myself to night. and they finished their lunch together. and stepped out with a lightness unexpected at his age. Not that I have any reason at this moment.But. it would be hard to say. I like Mary; I dont see how one could help liking her.Trafalgar.
with propriety. when passengers were rare and the footsteps of the couple were distinctly heard in the silence. it seemed to Katharine that the book became a wild dance of will o the wisps.
