Five minutes later the tattoo of knives and forks and spoons told of appetites in process of appeasement. Charlie came into the kitchen in the midst of this, bearing certain unmistakable signs. His eyes were inflamed, his cheeks still bearing the flush of liquor. His demeanor was that of a man suffering an intolerable headache and correspondingly short-tempered. Stella barely spoke to him.
"If he wants to, he should. It is lovely that he wants to. There's money enough for such lovely wants. Well, darling. Won't you come home to bed?" Herbert does not attend. His mother sighed a sigh of great appeasement and of content. This is my son! She turned to where Esther sat with brooding eyes. Her face was serious now, grey ever, warm with a grey sorrow.
