The voice of the foreign friend was very alarmingly urgent. "Would she come and see Doda at once, at once, at once?" The voice struck a chill to the heart of Rosalie. "But where are you? You're at Brighton, aren't you? Are you speaking from Brighton?" "No, no. At my flat. At my flat." "But what is it? What is it? Why don't you tell me what it is?"
Benjamin she told Harry he must be named; Benji she always called him. Huggo and Doda and Benji! Her children! Her darling ones, her lovely ones! Children!
One didn't do that kind of thing. She replaced the bundle and closed the box. Then she tidied the room and wiped the mirror. Early next morning, immediately on coming out of her bath, she went in to Doda. She opened the door softly and she distinctly saw the lids of Doda's eyes flash up and close again. "Doda!" Doda pretended to be asleep.
She had not known that Doda was going out. The bedroom cried aloud that Doda had gone out. Drawers were open and articles of dress hanging out of them. One drawer, no doubt stubborn in its yieldings, was bodily out in the middle of the room. Clothes were on the floor. Clothes strewed the bed. Powder was all over the mirror. It was as if a whirlwind had passed through the room.
"If you ask me, I don't think it's right to Of course if you think it right to if you've been reading my letters " "Doda, I haven't. I just saw them there. But I'd like to read them, Doda. May I?" "They're private letters. I don't see how you can expect me to show you private letters." Rosalie went over to Doda and stood by her and stroked her hair. "Doda, I think we'll look at it like this.
I've noticed it a long time." "Well, I am perfectly well. If I wasn't I'd say so." Strike on! Rosalie was called up on the telephone by the foreign friend. It was the evening, about ten o'clock. Doda was away for a week at Brighton with the foreign friend. She was due back to-morrow. Harry was out with Benji. Benji was nineteen then and was home on vacation from Oxford.
"Why should I have things like this done to me by you?" "Doda, I am your mother. You have a duty " "Well, I won't have a duty! Why should I have a duty? I didn't ask to be born, did I? You chose for me to be born, didn't you? I didn't choose it. I'll never forget this. Never, never, never!" Tears rushed into her eyes and leapt from her eyes. She gave an impassioned gesture.
"Look here, you'd better run along. You're not in a fit state to talk to your mother. I'm not sure you're in a fit state to talk to any-body or to know what you're saying. You'd better go, my boy. We'll go into this in the morning. Come round early in the morning. We'll settle it then." He was passing with Huggo through the door when Doda, equipped for her dance, came running down the stairs.
Doda was upstairs putting last touches to herself before going out to a dance. Benji was still at school, at Milchester. Harry had never resumed relations with beloved Tidborough. The door opened and Huggo walked in. His face was very flushed and his articulation a little odd.
When the step of her renunciation was first taken, ardent to devote herself to them in every moment of the day, she began to give their lessons to Doda and to Benji. It was not a success. The methods of teaching, as the text-books, had changed since she was a child. The Prescott methods were here and to her own methods the children did not respond. There it was again did not respond.
