That was three hours ago, and I have sat here thinking, thinking, ever since. What does it all mean? Writing it out has helped me, as I thought it would. Two things have become clear to me: I am quite conscious that I have sought Mr. Lawrence at least as much as he has me.
The following week Waythorn was again conscious of the recurrence of the day, but had forgotten it by the time he came home to dinner. The crisis of the disease came a few days later, with a rapid decline of fever, and the little girl was pronounced out of danger.
"His insults?" "Yes." Claude looked at her in silence. And again she was conscious of fear. "Don't let us ever speak of this again," he answered at last. He went away. That day he was in his workroom till very late. He did not come to tea. The evening fell; but he was not working on the opera. Charmian heard him playing Bach. At the end of April Alston Lake came once more to visit them.
His face became pale, his hair stuck together from sweat, his shoulders and arms seemed flooded with water. For a moment he stood as if only half conscious; then he raised his eyes and looked at the spectators. The amphitheatre had gone wild. The walls of the building were trembling from the roar of tens of thousands of people.
"Of course," he continued, "I was very much disappointed to hear this, because I had hoped that we might have been able to let Grantham House to you. We cannot consider the matter at all now unless you pay for everything in advance." She uncovered her eyes and looked at him. People so direct of speech as this had come very seldom into her life.

In the kitchen, Sophia, conscious that the moment held the future of at least the next three weeks, collected her forces. "Maud," she said, "did you not hear me call you?" Maud looked up from a book doubtless a wicked book. "No, ma'am." "You liar!" thought Sophia. And she said: "I asked you to shut the parlour door, and I shall be obliged if you will do so."
To join them in prayer was impossible. To go through the forms of united prayer would have been incongruous with the occasion, and not more inconsistent with the convictions of the Ministers, than repugnant to the conscious innocence and natural sensibilities of the sufferers. Condemned, unconfessing, unrepentant witches might be prayed for, or at, but not with.
Awe at last stole over him as he rode slowly along the quiet lanes, with his hat slouched low over his face; and he was conscious of a deeper meaning in his favorite texts of Scripture than he had hitherto felt.
We must not think that this imitation is voluntary, or even conscious. On the contrary, it has its seat mainly in very obscure parts of the mind, whose notions, so far from having been consciously produced, are hardly felt to exist; so far from being conceived beforehand, are not even felt at the time.
