"What's he doing, from ten o'clock on Christmas morning, with Mrs. Lowder?" Kate looked surprised. "Didn't she tell you he's staying there?" "At Lancaster Gate?" Densher's surprise met it. "'Staying'? since when?" "Since day before yesterday. He was there before I came away." And then she explained confessing it in fact anomalous.
It wasn't that the fate of the other person, her exquisite friend, didn't, in its tragic turn, also concern herself: it was only that her acceptance of Mr. Densher as a source of information could scarcely help having an awkwardness. She invented the awkwardness under Densher's eyes, and he marvelled on his side at the instant creation.
Stringham and I, in the innocence of our hearts, very amusing." She had got up, as she spoke, to assure herself of what she said; and at the end of a few steps they were together on the balcony and looking down at her waiting chariot, which made indeed a brave show. "Is it very awful?" It was to Densher's eyes save for its absurd heaviness only pleasantly pompous.
The imprisoned thought had, in a word, on the opening of the door, flown straight out into Densher's face, or perched at least on his shoulder, making him look up in surprise from his mere inky office-table.
She smiled, but he saw her the next instant as smiling through tears; and the instant after this she had got, in respect to the particular point, quite off. She had come back to another, which was one of her own; her own were so closely connected that Densher's were at best but parenthetic. Still she had a distance to go. "You do then see your way?"
He now, as usual, slightly smiled at him in the process but ever so slightly this time, his manner also being attuned, our young man made out, to the thing, whatever it was, that constituted the rupture of peace. This manner, while they stood a long minute facing each other over all they didn't say, played a part as well in the sudden jar to Densher's protected state.
