Fanny Assingham stood there in her comparative darkness, with her links, verily, still missing; but the most acceptable effect of this was, singularly, as yet, a cold fear of getting nearer the fact. "But when you come home ? I mean he'll come up with you again. Won't he see it then?" On which Maggie gave her, after an instant's visible thought, the strangest of slow headshakes. "I don't know.
"What do you see now?" he asks in a nervous voice. "Something dark between me and the light." "Is that all? Can't you see what it is?" "A book." A mere guess based on the known predilections of the questioner. "Oh dear!" says the Earl. "It was my hand." He sees that the nurse is signalling with headshakes and soundless lip-words, but has not presence of mind to catch her meaning.
She laughed and shook her head; she had headshakes whose impulse seemed to come from as far away as the breeze that stirs a flower. The companion-piece to the portrait of my future husband was the portrait of his future wife. She had taken her stand she could depart from it as little as she could explain it. It was a prejudice, an entêtement, a vow she would live and die unphotographed.

Blessingbourne at this gave one of the slow soft silent headshakes to which she often resorted and which, mostly accompanied by the light of cheer, had somehow, in spite of the small obstinacy that smiled in them, a special grace. With this grace, for a moment, her friend, looking her up and down, appeared impressed, yet not too much so to take the next minute a decision.
