Soames felt in excellent spirits when he arrived home, and confided to Irene at dinner that he had had a good talk with Bosinney, who really seemed a sensible fellow; they had had a capital walk too, which had done his liver good he had been short of exercise for a long time and altogether a very satisfactory day.
This young Bosinney, he's got himself into a mess. I knew how it would be!" He held out the papers, regarding his elder brother with nervous gloom. Old Jolyon read them in silence, and while he read them James looked at the floor, biting his fingers the while.
You're an architect; you ought to know all about statues and things!" Every eye was turned upon Bosinney; all waited with a strange, suspicious look for his answer. And Soames, speaking for the first time, asked: "Yes, Bosinney, what do you say?" Bosinney replied coolly: "The work is a remarkable one."
Bosinney muttered abstractedly "Hear, hear!" and, George yawning, the conversation dropped. Upon arriving, the coffin was borne into the chapel, and, two by two, the mourners filed in behind it.
Bosinney having expressed the wish to show them the house from the copse below, Swithin came to a stop. "There's a fine view from here," he remarked; "you haven't such a thing as a chair?" A chair was brought him from Bosinney's tent. "You go down," he said blandly; "you two! I'll sit here and look at the view."
Why can't we leave them alone?" said June, just as, in the open doorway, the maid said "Mr. Soames Forsyte." Sensation on sensation! Greeting was almost held up by curiosity to see how June and he would take this encounter, for it was shrewdly suspected, if not quite known, that they had not met since that old and lamentable affair of her fiance Bosinney with Soames' wife.
They stick you with everything if you don't look sharp.... Take ten per cent. off all round. I shan't mind it's coming out a hundred or so over the mark!" Bosinney shook his head: "I've taken off every farthing I can!" Soames pushed back the table with a movement of anger, which sent the account sheets fluttering to the ground.
This he said, knowing all about Irene's visit not, of course, that there was anything in the visit, except that extraordinary remark she had made about 'not caring to get home' and the story of how June had taken the news! He had determined, by this way of putting the question, to give Bosinney a chance, as he said to himself.
Bosinney was building Soames a house; whether young Roger's wife was really expecting; how the operation on Archie had succeeded; and what Swithin had done about that empty house in Wigmore Street, where the tenant had lost all his money and treated him so badly; above all, about Soames; was Irene still still asking for a separate room?
MacAnder saw Irene walking in Richmond Park with Mr. Bosinney." Aunt Hester, who had also risen, sank back in her chair, and turned her face away. Really Juley was too she should not do such things when she Aunt Hester, was in the room; and, breathless with anticipation, she waited for what Soames would answer.
