I felt a well-nigh uncontrollable desire to bend down and kiss her, under the compulsion of that yearning voice, those compelling eyes, but with a flash of the old unbending pride and an inward jeer at my own folly, I said a commonplace polite good-bye, and turned away with some inanely courteous and evasive remark.
"Tut, woman, he daren't swear such an oath; or, if he swore it fifty times over on his bare knees, he'd ate the stones off o' the pavement afore he'd dare to act upon it. In the first place, I'd prepare him for his coffin, if he did; an' in the next, do you think so inanely of Ellen, as to believe that she would bring disgrace an' sorrow upon herself and her family?
She told herself that her adulterous tryst with this twenty minute black friend had been her refutation against the notion of ugly-bodied darkness. She inanely told herself that by brushing naked against his skin this making herself one with what was black had made the intimacy a higher accomplishment than mere banging.
"It is very pretty," he said, inanely. At the look in his eyes as he raised his head her own widened, and she withdrew from him imperceptibly, dismissing him with a mere inflection. "I wish you would send Poleon here. It's time he saw his present." As Burrell walked out into the air he shut his jaws grimly and muttered: "Hold tight, young man. She's not your kind she's not your kind."
"But in these times," I inanely suggested, struggling to maintain the pretense of conversation, "woman has a full measure of liberty." She tossed her head with an airy contempt for my reasoning and bent her eyes for a moment on the tip of her satin slipper. "About as much as a canary in a cage," she announced, "and we are expected to sing joyously for our cuttle bone and hemp seed.
She moved a little uneasily in her place. Her tone, nevertheless, remained icy. "Could you possibly manage to avoid personalities in your conversation, Mr. Ledsam?" she begged. "I have tried already to tell you how I feel about such things." She was certainly difficult. Francis realised that with a little sigh. "Were you surprised to see me with your father?" he asked, a little inanely.
"If you imagine that my wife distributes patronage " he heard himself repeating inanely, and the walls seemed to reverberate with the laughter which his sister and Gregg had suppressed. He heard Ella rise from the sofa and lifted his head sharply. "Sit still!" he commanded. She sank back without speaking, and he hid his face again.
But he would have been a wholly different man from what he was had he thought this concisely, or said it aloud. All that he did was to express superficial curiosity concerning the sentiments of others, and to express it inanely enough. "Do you think," he said, "that all those poor people my brother's housekeeper, for instance do you think they really thought really expected " "I think " she said.
"Oh, I don't know," said I, inanely, for I could not say that nothing could be plainer. "I always used to think that to live in this neighbourhood would be paradise," murmured Maria, looking sentimentally but vacantly into a box of seedling balsams. "I'm very glad you like it," said I. I could not make pretty speeches.
She says she wouldn't trust the freest woman in the East if she were married to a slave-believing man. By all this you will judge what a comical little cuss Betty is, but all the same I am quite serious in urging you to come home before I grow desperate. Truedale looked at Lynda in blank amazement.
