I had forgotten the intruder; the interest which had carried me thus far had become lost in a fresher one of which the beginning and ending lay hidden within the four walls I now stared upon, unseeing. Not to see and yet to feel did that make the horror? If so, another lighted match must help me out. I struck one while the thought was hot within me, and again took a look at the room.
Very likely you have also forgotten by this time our talk about her, and if so it will not matter. But it vexes me to fail in a promise, and, if possible, I will snatch a moment before we leave to send a note to the friend I spoke of, and ask her to look the woman up for you."
Marjorie, who looked radiantly pretty in her frock of pink silk with its overdress of delicate pink net, welcomed the dance with all the enthusiasm of one who was heartily glad to get in touch with the social side of her school life. She had forgotten for the moment that certain girls in the freshman class had turned against her; that she was no longer a member of the freshman basketball team.
Her face rippled with merry laughter; but pouting her lips, she said, "What a poor compliment to your old friend, Juan! Surely you have not forgotten Rosa!" "Nay, that have I not; I have forgotten nothing. But you are so changed, Rosa so different!" "So are you; but I knew you at once. When did you come home? Have you come to see me?" "Yes, and your father as well. I have some business with him."
There were green ones, and blue and red and pink very pretty, all of them. "I wonder if I have forgotten how to play the games I used to enjoy when I was a boy rabbit?" thought the bunny gentleman. "Just now, when no one is here in tile woods to laugh at me, I think I'll try and see how well I can shoot marbles."
I had forgotten Carford and the angry Frenchman, my quarrel and her peril; the questions I had put to her summed up all life now held. Suddenly she put her hand to her bosom, and drew out that same piece of paper which I had seen her hide there. Before my eyes she read, or seemed to read, something that was in it; then she shut her hand on it. In a moment I was by her, very close.
Dormer Colville was not a dandy, however. He was too clever to go to that extreme and too wise not to be within reach of it in an age when great tailors were great men, and it was quite easy to make a reputation by clothes alone. Not only was his dress too fine for Farlingford, but his personality was not in tune with this forgotten end of England.
I am above you, beyond you, by my experience, and by my terrible situation, and by the turmoil in my heart! And then, quite suddenly, I reflected that they probably knew all that I knew, that some of them might have forgotten more than I had ever learnt.
It was the smile that had availed to keep me firm in my vows of silence. It was another picture I brought back five years later the picture of a young girl, not smiling but grave, even fearful, as if she had faced the camera full of apprehension. But I knew her not; the thing had come to me by chance, and I threw it aside to be forgotten.
It was a risky thing to have done, considering that he was in danger of failing and that he was not absolutely sure of being able to take them up in time. If he failed, and the certificates were not in the sinking-fund, he could say, as was the truth, that he was in the habit of taking his time, and had forgotten.
