But I think you had better believe that she pulled up just in time. 'I have no love for her left, he went on in a despairing voice. 'It all perished in those frightful days. I tried hard to think that I still loved her.
At this display of English on Jean's part the English-speaking Hollanders began laughing. "The son of a bitch is crazy," one said. And from that moment B. and I got on famously with Jean. His mind was a child's. His use of language was sometimes exalted fibbing, sometimes the purely picturesque. He courted above all the sound of words, more or less disdaining their meaning.
"It's my fate, Basil," said Isabel. "I'll go," he exclaimed, "because it isn't bridal, and will help us to pass for old married people." "No, no, Basil, be honest; fibbing isn't your forte: I wonder you went into the insurance business; you ought to have been a lawyer.
