She began to be afraid that he would do something conspicuous point at her, or stand up in his seat. She thought he looked half-mad or was it her own hallucination that made him appear so? She and Mrs. Ansell were alone in the box for the moment, and she started up, pushing back her chair.... Mrs. Ansell leaned forward. "What is it?" "Nothing the heat I'll sit back for a moment."
If you want to know anything more about her, go into Gray's room." Norgate looked up from his letters. "Why Gray's room? How does she come into his department?" Ansell shook his head. "No idea. I fancy she is there, though." Norgate left the room a few minutes later, and, strolling across the hall of the Embassy, made his way to an apartment at the back of the house.
"I was saying I made an unspeakable mistake. Ansell put me right, but it was too late to find you. Don't think I got off easily. Ansell doesn't spare one. And you've got to forgive me, to share my life, to share my money. I've brought you this photograph I want it to be the first thing you accept from me you have the greater right I know all the story now. You know who it is?"
As the cup passed between them she dropped her eyes to his with a quick flash of interrogation; but he sat staring moodily before him, and she moved back to the sofa without a word. On the way downstairs she met Amherst descending from Cicely's room. Since the early days of his first marriage there had always been, on Amherst's side, a sense of obscure antagonism toward Mrs. Ansell.
These strokes of true satire occasioned more merriment and were worth a biscuit to Solomon Ansell vice the son of the Shalotten Shammos. Among the inoffensive guests were old Gabriel Hamburg, the scholar, and young Joseph Strelitski, the student, who sat together. On the left of the somewhat seedy Strelitski pretty Bessie in blue silk presided over the coffee-pot.
Lewin laughed roguishly. "Why this delay?" asked Ansell. Agnes looked at Rickie, who replied, "I must get money, worse luck." "I thought you'd got money." He hesitated, and then said, "I must get my foot on the ladder, then." Ansell began with, "On which ladder?" but Mrs. Lewin, using the privilege of her sex, exclaimed, "Not another word. If there's a thing I abominate, it is plans.
If the Wonham man is not satisfied now, he must be insatiable. He cannot levy blackmail on us for ever. Sir, I give you two minutes; then you will be expelled by force." "Two minutes!" sang Ansell. "I can say a great deal in that." He put one foot on a chair and held his arms over the quivering room. He seemed transfigured into a Hebrew prophet passionate for satire and the truth.
Hornblower also swept past yelling derisively, with his luggage neatly piled above his head. "Let's get out and walk," muttered Ansell. But Rickie was succouring a distressed female Mrs. Aberdeen. "Oh, Mrs. Aberdeen, I never saw you: I am so glad to see you I am so very glad." Mrs. Aberdeen was cold. She did not like being spoken to outside the college, and was also distrait about her basket.
He could see that her friend's manner put Bessy at ease, helping her to ask her own questions, and to reflect on his suggestions, with less bewilderment and more self-confidence. Mrs. Ansell had the faculty of restoring to her the belief in her reasoning powers that her father could dissolve in a monosyllable.
Then she said, "What is all this nonsense?" and folded him in her arms. Ansell stood looking at his breakfast-table, which was laid for four instead of two. His bedmaker, equally peevish, explained how it had happened. Last night, at one in the morning, the porter had been awoke with a note for the kitchens, and in that note Mr. Elliot said that all these things were to be sent to Mr. Ansell's.
