"But isn't it exactly your idea that he ISn't in love with her mother?" His friend once more had a pause. "Well, he isn't at any rate in love with Jeanne." "I dare say not." "How CAN he be with any other woman?" "Oh that I admit. But being in love isn't, you know, here" little Bilham spoke in friendly reminder "thought necessary, in strictness, for marriage."
"Then she does now care more than he." "Oh!" Strether oddly exclaimed. But his companion immediately met it. "Haven't you after all had your impression of it? That's how you've got hold of him." "Ah but I haven't got hold of him!" "Oh I say!" But it was all little Bilham said. "It's at any rate none of my business. I mean," Strether explained, "nothing else than getting hold of him is."
He's capable of one, you know, that will improve and enlarge him still more. He won't then," little Bilham continued to remark, "be my pleasant well-rubbed old-fashioned volume at all. But of course I'm beastly immoral. I'm afraid it would be a funny world altogether a world with things the way I like them. I ought, I dare say, to go home and go into business myself.
"For all you say, you're up to your eyes. So there you are." Little Bilham after an instant pulled half round. "I assure you she hasn't told me anything." "Of course she hasn't. For what do you suggest that I suppose her to take you? But you've been with her every day, you've seen her freely, you've liked her greatly I stick to that and you've made your profit of it.
Alone, and in her horrid position, she found it, when once she had started, an interest. It was, it is, an interest, and it did it continues to do a lot for herself as well. So she still cares. She cares in fact," said little Bilham thoughtfully "more." Strether's theory that it was none of his business was somehow not damaged by the way he took this. "More, you mean, than he?"
Little Bilham was amused. "Obliged to provide for my marrying?" "Yes after all I've done to you!" The young man weighed it. "Have you done as much as that?" "Well," said Strether, thus challenged, "of course I must remember what you've also done to ME. We may perhaps call it square. But all the same," he went on, "I wish awfully you'd marry Mamie Pocock yourself." Little Bilham laughed out.
I haven't reduced Sarah, since yesterday; though I've succeeded in seeing her again, as I'll presently tell you. The others however are really all right. Mamie, by that blessed law of ours, absolutely must have a young man." "But what must poor Mr. Bilham have? Do you mean they'll MARRY for you?"
He breakfasted with Mr. Bilham on the morrow, and, as inconsequently befell, with Waymarsh massively of the party.
There was no great pulse of haste yet in this process of saving Chad; nor was that effect a bit more marked as he sat, half an hour later, with his legs under Chad's mahogany, with Mr. Bilham on one side, with a friend of Mr.
How then," Strether asked wondering "does he arrange his life?" "Is the creature you mean Chad himself?" little Bilham said. Strether here, with a rising hope, just thought, "We must take one of them at a time." But his coherence lapsed. "IS there some woman? Of whom he's really afraid of course I mean or who does with him what she likes."
