"You count upon me of course for something really much greater than it sounds." "Oh it sounds great enough too!" she laughed at this. He found himself in time on the point of telling her that she was, as Miss Barrace called it, wonderful; but, catching himself up, he said something else instead. "What was it Chad's idea then that you should say to me?"
Miss Barrace looked at him through all her tortoise-shell. "Why should she?" It wasn't what he had asked for, he signified; but he met it well enough. "To marry Chad." "Why should she marry Chad?" "Because I'm convinced she's very fond of him. She has done wonders for him." "Well then, how could she do more?
We're all looking at each other and in the light of Paris one sees what things resemble. That's what the light of Paris seems always to show. It's the fault of the light of Paris dear old light!" "Dear old Paris!" little Bilham echoed. "Everything, every one shows," Miss Barrace went on. "But for what they really are?" Strether asked. "Oh I like your Boston 'reallys'! But sometimes yes."
"Ah then," said Strether good-naturedly, "why DID he bring her?" "He couldn't afford not to." "Oh you were a trophy one of the spoils of conquest? But why in that case, since you do 'compromise' " "Don't I compromise HIM as well? I do compromise him as well," Miss Barrace smiled. "I compromise him as hard as I can. But for Mr. Waymarsh it isn't fatal.
Pocock." Strether wondered. "Madame de Vionnet with Jim?" "Madame de Vionnet with 'Jim." Miss Barrace was historic. "And what's she doing with him?" "Ah you must ask HIM!" Strether's face lighted again at the prospect. "It WILL be amusing to do so." Yet he continued to wonder. "But she must have some idea." "Of course she has she has twenty ideas.
You've got Chad and Chad has got you." "I see" she made of it what she could. "And you've got Maria." Well, he on his side accepted that. "I've got Maria. And Maria has got me. So it goes." "But Mr. Jim whom has he got?" "Oh he has got or it's as IF he had the whole place." "But for Mr. Waymarsh" she recalled "isn't Miss Barrace before any one else?" He shook his head.
Baited it could properly be called when the repast was of so wise a savour, and gilded surrounding objects seemed inevitably to need to be when Miss Barrace which was the lady's name looked at them with convex Parisian eyes and through a glass with a remarkably long tortoise-shell handle.
It was on the detail of this quantity and what could the fact be but mystifying?-that Bilham and Miss Barrace threw so little light. So there they were. When Miss Gostrey arrived, at the end of a week, she made him a sign; he went immediately to see her, and it wasn't till then that he could again close his grasp on the idea of a corrective.
From the moment he had to do something " "A crowd" she took him straight up "was the only thing? Rather, rather: a rumpus of sound," she laughed, "or nothing. Mrs. Pocock's built in, or built out whichever you call it; she's packed so tight she can't move. She's in splendid isolation" Miss Barrace embroidered the theme. Strether followed, but scrupulous of justice.
"Why little Bilham to begin with." He kept back for the moment Miss Barrace. "And Chad when he comes you must absolutely see." "When then does he come?" "When Bilham has had time to write him, and hear from him about me. Bilham, however," he pursued, "will report favourably favourably for Chad. That will make him not afraid to come. I want you the more therefore, you see, for my bluff."
