She was a brave woman, and though she was profoundly horrified and grieved by what had happened she was conscious that she had not suffered any great personal loss. She had never known Rieseneck, she had never liked Clara, and her friendship for Greifenstein had not been great.
It's to me that it makes the difference. I must be honest with you. It's not that I'm afraid. It is I think that I'm disgusted." He lowered his eyes and moved from her uneasily. "I was horrified enough when I first knew of it, as you know. You know, too, that I forgave you, and that I forgot. That was because I didn't realise it. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't before I had seen her.
But here it's swell and kind of of appropriate," he ended lamely. "And flowers, Mother," Frances took up the tale. "Hedges of fuchsia, real live tall hedges, not measly little potted plants. Geraniums as tall as I am, and ever so many roses and violets. Oh, and we've found some lodgings. You're to see them to-morrow." "Frances!" exclaimed her horrified mother.
"On the whole they're the roughest lot I've ever seen cooped up together. If they should be turned loose, they would make a shambles of this ship a red shambles, Kate!" There was not a trace of color in her face. She watched him with a horrified fascination. "Of course," he went on easily, "I'll be the first one to go down. Harrigan would see to that.
Within a week after a new one had horrified Newport, the Younger Set would have it down pat and be mopping up the floor with one another. Of course they were denounced by the local Ministers, but the Guilty Parties never heard the Denunciations, as they were out Motoring at the time. Whenever there was a Big Session, all Bridles were removed and the Speed Limit abolished.
She constantly asked Jehoshaphat to come to her aid; she talked of Holy Moses more than once; in short, she exceeded herself in her wildness. Linda was so shocked that she took the Armitage girls to a distant corner, and there discoursed with them in low whispers. Now and then she cast a horrified glance round at where her sister and the Yankee, as she termed Stephanotie, were going on together.
Mary with her humpback had at first horrified him; now he was always glad to see her though she always crossed his wishes; and poor lame Selene, who had been mocked at by the street boys as she limped along, seemed to him more adorable than ever. How lovely were her face and form, how peculiar her way of walking she did not limp no, she swayed along the garden.
Her eyes were dilated fixed in a horrified stare at the parting in the curtains which hung before the window. There was some one there. She had seen a man's head steal out for a moment and draw the curtains a little closer. Even now she could trace the outline of his shape behind the left-hand curtain. She was wholly unable to conceal her knowledge of his presence.
"I know I'm an awful length and all that," he said, "but I'm only sixteen, don't you know!" Banty grinned. The "Don't you know," which at first horrified him, was, oddly enough, growing to be almost fascinating.
She did not reply, asked once more for the receipt, said that she was in a hurry, bowed coldly, and went away. The Poyets were horrified at the girl's ingratitude. Then, when she was rid of that obsession, Antoinette went on with the same sparing existence, but now it was entirely for her brother's sake.
