She expressed on her countenance precisely what she felt a slight degree of sorrow that her child should cherish an evil passion, which, she knew, existed in her heart in common with all the human race, but which she expected, by God's help and blessing, to subdue effectually at last. Kissing Eda's forehead she said kindly, "Which of them do you hate, darling?" "Gaspard," replied the child.
She valued Eda's devotion, she sincerely regretted the fact, on Eda's account as well as her own, that it was a devotion of no use to her in the present crisis nor indeed in any crisis likely to confront her in life: she had felt instinctively from the first that the friendship was not founded on, mental harmony, and now it was brought home to her that Eda's solution could never be hers.
But then, I'm not smart like you." "Don't be silly," said Janet, out of humour with herself, and annoyed because she could not then appreciate Eda's generosity.
And now it seemed that he had made it hers also. She regretted having repulsed him, pushed her plate away from her, and rose. "You haven't eaten anything," said Hannah, who had come into the room. "Where are you going?" "Out to Eda's," Janet answered.... "It's late," Hannah objected. But Janet departed.
She told herself she was afraid of Eda's uncanny and somewhat nauseating flair for romance; and to show Eda the new suit, though she would relish her friend's praise, would be the equivalent of announcing an affair of the heart which she, Janet, would have indignantly to deny. She was not going to Eda's. She knew now where she was going.
Knowing Eda's ambitions for her were not those of a business career, she was in terror lest her friend should scent a romance, and for this reason she had never spoken of the symptoms Ditmar had betrayed. She attempted to convey to Eda the doubtful taste of staring point-blank at the house of one's employer, especially when he might be concealed behind a curtain.
The man was no longer following her. She had been almost self-convinced of an intention to go to Eda's not quite. Of late her conscience had reproached her about Eda, Janet had neglected her.
But then, I'm not smart like you." "Don't be silly," said Janet, out of humour with herself, and annoyed because she could not then appreciate Eda's generosity.
It was the craving in her for romance Janet assuaged; Eda's was the love content to pour out, that demands little. She was capable of immolation. Janet was by no means ungrateful for the warmth of such affection, though in moments conscious of a certain perplexity and sadness because she was able to give such a meagre return for the wealth of its offering.
