"Ah, you're afraid to say what you were going to say now I'm here," said the amiable Tipping, nettled by Dulcie's little air of haughty disdain. "You're a coward; you know you are. You pretend to think such a lot of Dulcie here, but you daren't fight!" "Fight!" said Mr. Bultitude. "Eh, what for?" "Why, for her, of course. You can't care much about her if you daren't fight for her.
That belief, I felt, would help me to carry out the plan I had formed for discovering at first hand the actual movements of the gang, some members of which would, I felt sure, be present at Eldon Hall for the coming-of-age festivities of Lord Cranmere's eldest son. Yet what about Dulcie? I felt that I must see her, and see her as soon as possible.
Of course, if she could do a little needlework No, no, that wouldn't do. You couldn't expect her to do brainwork as well as needlework. Edith broke in. 'Do you remember mentioning to me a girl you met at Boulogne a nurse called Dulcie Clay? 'Perfectly well, answered Lady Conroy, puffing away at her cigarette, and obviously not speaking the truth. Edith laughed. 'No, my dear, you don't.
Oh, Mike, my darling," she said quickly, under her breath, "I hope you still love me just as much as you did; I don't know why, but somehow I sometimes feel that you mistrust me even that you suspect me of something or other, I don't know what." "Dulcie!" I exclaimed impulsively, and I made as though to seize her hand, then remembered we were not alone, and refrained.
It ought to take very well indeed with the audience. Come and squat on the grass, and I'll read it aloud to you first, and then I'll allot parts." "Is it very stiff and educational?" groaned Dulcie, obeying unwillingly. "Wait and see! Come under the shade of the lilac bush, it's so hot to sit in the sun."
Dulcie disposed of Will's paintings, reluctantly, realizing an astonishing amount; astonishing, unless you take into account the fact that his companions and contemporaries were not sure that he was a mere madman now that he had gone from their ranks.

She came into Aunt Priscilla's bedroom later to talk it over. She had on the rosy house coat. She spoke of going back to Paris. "It will be better for both of us.
But that night she said to her husband in mournful emphatic tones: "Richard, I hope it's only my nervousness, but I do believe that somehow or other Biddy has heard something about that." No one was quite happy and comfortable at Truslow Manor just now, for latterly the baby had been ailing; she had evidently caught a chill and was feverish and fretful. "How could Dulcie have taken cold?"
I am terrified of her now, Mike; I want to get away from her, but I daren't. If I go, something awful will happen to me I know it will!" Though I had long suspected it, only now did I realize the fearful hold that this woman had obtained over Dulcie, who seemed hardly able any longer to exercise her will.
