He had permitted the time and occasion which had prompted him to write those three fatefully familiar words on the back of the picture altogether to escape him. If he chose to forget, why should Fanny Dodge, or any one else, persist in remembering? And above all, why should the girl have chosen to drop this absurd memento of the most harmless of flirtations at the feet of Lydia?
"Those things come to you and steal their hands into yours like little innocent children, but ". They drank. Bean felt himself bold for any situation. He would carry the farce through if they insisted on it. He no longer planned to elude the waster. They were in the speeding car. "Fumed eggs!" murmured Bean approvingly. They were inside that desolated house, the door closed fatefully upon them.
But how old are you, eh, Dev? Twenty-eight is it? Twenty-nine?" "You should know none better that I am thirty," I responded. "Haven't you remembered each anniversary since I was five, beginning with a hobby-horse and working up through knives and rifles and ponies to the latest thing in cars?" Dunny lowered his accusing finger and tapped it on the cloth. "Thirty," he repeated fatefully.
"Can't tell who's back of him." "Call him in," ordered the advanced dresser, fixing the glasses firmly on his purple nose. "Call him in! Bluff him in a minute!" "Buzz! Buzz!

That potent something she had stirred in his heart was a fierce, fighting champion to defend her. He had not dared confess to himself he was certainly, fatefully falling in love with this girl he scarcely knew, but his heart refused to hear her accused and his mind was engaged in her defence. Above all else, he felt the need for calmness.
Observe how fatefully he who has a scheme is the engine of it; he is no longer the man of his tastes or of his principles; he is on a line of rails for a terminus; and he may cast languishing eyes across waysides to right and left, he has doomed himself to proceed, with a self-devouring hunger for the half desired; probably manhood gone at the embrace of it.
