Late in the afternoon of the day when Hughs had committed his assault, having three hours of respite from his hospital, Martin dipped his face and head into cold water, rubbed them with a corrugated towel, put on a hard bowler hat, took a thick stick in his hand, and went by Underground to Kensington. With his usual cool, high-handed air he entered his aunt's house, and asked for Thyme.
I was still defensive toward Covey, but aggressive toward Hughs; and, at the first approach of the latter, I dealt a blow, in my desperation, which fairly sickened my youthful assailant. He went off, bending over with pain, and manifesting no disposition to come within my reach again.
There were no Hughs, no little model all that sordid life had vanished; there was nothing but the wind beating her cheeks and the A.i. Damyer leaping under her. Mr. Purcey said: "It just makes all the difference to me; keeps my nerves in order." "Oh," Cecilia murmured, "have you got nerves." Mr. Purcey smiled.
They had both desired to have one child no more; they had both desired to keep up with the times no more; they now both considered Hilary's position awkward no more; and when Cecilia, in the special Jacobean bed, and taking care to let him have his sleep out first, had told him of this matter of the Hughs, they had both turned it over very carefully, lying on their backs, and speaking in grave tones.
'Charming, Lady Hilda answered, with perfect candour; 'so very different from the senseless adulation of all the Hughs, and Guys, and Berties! What I do love in talking to clever men, Mr. Berkeley, is their delicious frankness and transparency.

It could not be gathered from his face what he was thinking, but now and then he moved his jaw, as though he were suffering from toothache. In truth, by the look of Mrs. Hughs and her baby, his recipe did not seem to have achieved conspicuous success.
'Netta, I am in no mood to be trifled with. If you wish to be 'my lady, take Sir Hugh, if he will have you; but I go halves with nobody. Now is the time to resolve; I shall never ask you again; and whatever your opinion may be upon the subject, I consider that I do you as great honour in asking you to be my wife, as if there were fifty Sir Hughs at your feet.
"Well, good-night!" said Hilary hastily. "You must run off...." That same evening, driving with his wife back from a long, dull dinner, Hilary began: "I've something to say to you." An ironic "Yes?" came from the other corner of the cab. "There is some trouble with the little model." "Really!" "This man Hughs has become infatuated with her.
As the time of their death approached they seemed much more affected than formerly they had been; in which frame of mind they continued till they suffered, which was on the 12th of February, 1728, Sherwood being in his twenty-sixth year, Hughs in the twenty-third, and Weedon in the twenty-second year of his age.
