It is an awful thing to bear. I see them speaking to her in the street. She laughs and talks, and seems to like it. I spend a good deal of my own spare time in walking up and down to meet her. I deserve a bow now and then.
She is waiting in the carriage. We are careful not to excite attention at the door of the hotel; the coachman will drive up and down the street till I want him again. Never mind that! I have something to say to you about Fanny. She thinks of her own troubles, poor soul, when she talks to me, and exaggerates a little without meaning it. I hope she has not misled you in speaking of her master.
Do you remember that heart-to-heart talk that Jesus had with the eleven disciples that last night they spent together in the upper room? John tells us about it in chapters thirteen to sixteen. The Master talks a great deal that night, about some One else, who was coming to take His place with them. They did not understand what He meant till afterwards.
Presently, Amante followed. 'Poor madame, said she, consoling me to the best of her ability. And then she told me by degrees what more she had learned respecting my home, about which she knew almost as much as I did, from my frequent talks on the subject both at Les Rochers and on the dreary, doleful road we had come along.

And then, of course, his mind sometimes did foolish things, asked questions beginning with, "Would she rather ?" He remembered his talks with Rosamund on the Acropolis talks never renewed and compared the former life without little Robin, with the present life pervaded gently, or vivaciously, or almost furiously by little Robin.
He reached for his meerschaum pipe, and paused to gaze with a smoker's admiration at the red-brown perfection of the polished bowl. "But you have n't forgotten the dinner?" Leigh asked, perceiving that the other was preparing to settle back in his chair for one of those discursive talks in which his guests delighted. "The dinner! I had quite forgotten it."
