I send it merely to put Emmeline off the scent, so that she shall think that it is purely business. Now I shall trust you. I commenced the letter without even a 'Dear Frank, and I ended it without an affectionate word. 'I should like you to take these down to Mr. Ispenlove's office, I said to Emmeline. 'Ask for him and give them to him yourself. There's no answer. He's pretty sure to be in.
Ispenlove's eyes filled with tears, and she fingered a gold chain that hung from her neck. 'But have you got rooms a house? 'I am at a hotel for the moment. 'But you have friends? I shook my head. Mr. Ispenlove was glancing rapidly from one to the other of us. 'My dear young lady! exclaimed his wife.
I could not refuse those shining gray eyes. I saw that my situation and my youth had lacerated Mrs. Ispenlove's sensitive heart, and that she wished to give it balm by being humane to me.
It was my last thought as I sank, exquisitely drowning, in the sea of sensations caused by Ispenlove's presence. Without a word, we passed together into the drawing-room, and I closed the door. Ispenlove stood leaning against the piano, as though intensely fatigued; he crushed his gibus with an almost savage movement, and then bent his large, lustrous black eyes absently on the flat top of it.
'Angel' was Ispenlove's word. 'Then, what shall I call you? 'My name is Carlotta Peel, I said. 'Not Magdalen at all. It was astounding, incredible, that he should be learning my name then for the first time. 'I shall always call you Magda, he responded. 'And now I must go, I stated, when I had explained to him about the servant. 'But you'll come back? he cried.
I am intensely proud of my ability to see, then, that no sentiment can be false which is sincere, and that Mary Ispenlove's attitude towards marriage was exactly as natural, exactly as free from artificiality, as my own. Can you go outside Nature? Is not the polity of Londoners in London as much a part of Nature as the polity of bees in a hive?
