"The boys had the place all lit up with torches while they worked, and your Pop and I waited half the night for you down here. Why didn't you come?" Neither of the men had so far even glanced at Seagreave, but ignored him as thoroughly as if he were not there. Pearl looked at Flick a moment in frowning incomprehension.
"The ignorance of the clergy, their want of education, their unintelligence of their surroundings, their dislike for Mysticism, their incomprehension of art, have taken away all their influence on the aristocracy of souls.
But I'll learn in time." She did not follow him. She was a bachelor of arts, but he had gone beyond her limitations. This she did not comprehend, attributing her incomprehension to his incoherence. "You were too voluble," she said. "But it was beautiful, in places." He heard her voice as from far off, for he was debating whether he would read her the "Sea Lyrics."
"No; you don't understand," he returned with sudden bitterness; and on his lips the charge of incomprehension seemed an offense to her. "I don't want to about such things!" He answered almost harshly: "Don't be afraid...you never will..." and for an instant they faced each other like enemies. Then the tears swelled in her throat at his reproach. "You mean I don't feel things I'm too hard?"
"I'm no more patient that I should be," he said. She flung away from him, pale and red by turns, struggling between anger and incomprehension. "Oh!" she stammered at last. "That you could!" She brushed the back of her hand across her lips and then her eyes blazing at him, turned and walked rigidly on her way.

She seemed not to understand what she had heard, and to be troubled by incomprehension rather than by a shock of pain. 'False to me? she murmured. 'How false? 'He loves another woman, and for her sake has turned to the Greeks.
But with his mind set upon its purpose he gathered up the shabby skirt, the stockings, and the shoes, he took his own thick overcoat from its peg in the passage; he warmed them well before the sitting-room fire. Violet watched him with an air of detachment, of innocent incomprehension, as if these preparations in no way concerned herself.
But when she saw a look of painful incomprehension in her mother's face, she sat down on the arm of the chair, slid a strong arm around the fragile figure and hugged it up against herself. "I suppose," she observed contritely, "that I ought to have broken it more gradually. But I never think of things like that." As well as she could, her mother resisted the embrace.
The smug faces, the vacuous grins; the lifeless, limping attempts at conversation; the stares of suspicious incomprehension if you chance to say a thing that has a point; and then, the thick, sensible, slightly muddy boots. I 'll pay no calls. And as for making acquaintances save me from those I 've made already.
She did not answer; so they stood, silently, absurdly. Her face was like paper; her hair, in contrast, most bright; her eyes expressed only incomprehension. The man had to speak first; he pulled himself together. The bad fortune that had dogged him so long, that he had fought against so hard, now found its culmination: it had cast him, of all places, hither, at her feet.
