Claxon accused herself to her husband of being the greatest fool in the State, but he said that the carriage was one of the Middlemount rigs, and he guessed it was all right. He could see that Clem was wild to go, and he didn't see why she shouldn't. "Well, I do, then," his wife retorted. "We don't know anything about the woman, or who she is."
"You make that horrible dog stop, or I'll have you arrested!" Genesis rushed forward. "You CLEM!" he shouted. And instantly Clematis was but a whitish and brownish streak along the hedge. He ran like a dog in a moving picture when they speed the film, and he shot from sight, once more, round the corner, while Flopit, still cursing, was seized and squeezed in his mistress's embrace.
"Well, who does know anything about it, why Mr. Bayley has gone off suddenly?" demanded Frances. "No one knows," said Clem. Alexia hummed a tune provokingly. "We all guess, and it's easy enough to guess the truth; but Polly won't ever let it out, so that's all there is about it."

That would have been a simple case of awakened sensibility. But she continued to disparage him to his face and to me. She was venomous scurrilous in her abuse.
But beneath this mask of habit the heart had withered, a while ago, to dust, and lay in the grave of his only son. "Ah? Good morning, Flood!" cried Sir Harry genially. Parson Jack, reassured, felt the colour rushing into his face. "I've brought over my nephew Clem to introduce to you he's in Orders, you know scholar of Balliol, Fellow of All Souls, and what not.
She said finally that she presumed they were doing a wild thing, and that it looked crazier and crazier the more she thought of it; but all was, if Clem didn't like, she could come home.
