She held out one on the back of her hand for Helen to look at. "Suppose they sting?" said Helen. "They will not sting, but they may infest the victuals," said Miss Allan, and measures were taken at once to divert the ants from their course. At Hewet's suggestion it was decided to adopt the methods of modern warfare against an invading army.
Lying now flat on the bed he waved his hand in vague circles above him. "Of course it is," said Hirst. "But that's not the difficulty. The difficulty is, isn't it, to find an appropriate object?" "There are no female hens in your circle?" asked Hewet. "Not the ghost of one," said Hirst. Although they had known each other for three years Hirst had never yet heard the true story of Hewet's loves.
She had always taken it for granted that his point of view was just, and founded upon an ideal scale of things where the life of one person was absolutely more important than the life of another, and that in that scale they were much less importance than he was. But did she really believe that? Hewet's words made her think.

He was clearly oblivious of his surroundings; whereupon Hirst, perceiving that Hewet's mind was a complete blank, fixed his attention more closely upon his fellow-creatures. He was too far from them, however, to hear what they were saying, but it pleased him to construct little theories about them from their gestures and appearance. Mrs. Thornbury had received a great many letters.
She turned with a curious fling of her hands and looked at the sea. It was still very blue, dancing away as far as the eye could reach, but the light on it was yellower, and the clouds were turning flamingo red. A feeling of intense depression crossed Hewet's mind as she spoke.
