We talked a little language together whence were "friends," and I was "Mutney" and she was "Ming," and we kept up such an outward show that till the very end Smithie thought our household the most amiable in the world. I cannot tell to the full how Marion thwarted me and failed in that life of intimate emotions which is the kernel of love.
The spaniel was a great bore, begging and doing small tricks first at one and then at the other of us. Neither of us used his name. You see we had called him Miggles, and made a sort of trio in the baby-talk of Mutney and Miggles and Ming. Then presently we resumed our monstrous, momentous dialogue. I can't now make out how long that dialogue went on.
I didn't understand!" "I've been a fool. All my life is a wreck! "I shall be alone!...MUTNEY! Mutney, don't leave me! Oh! Mutney! I didn't understand." I had to harden my heart indeed, for it seemed to me at moments in those last hours together that at last, too late, the longed-for thing had happened and Marion had come alive. A new-born hunger for me lit her eyes.
