And, though not generally credited in his circle with any great acuteness, there is no doubt that the speaker had achieved something approaching a true analysis of Jill's fascination for his sex. She was interested in everything Life presented to her notice, from a Coronation to a stray cat. She was vivid. She had sympathy. She listened to you as though you really mattered.
I was unable to reply to this flattering speech, for Jill suddenly put up her hand I noticed it was a little inky and said, 'Hark, there is some one coming up to the door? and for the moment we both believed that it was Fräulein; but, to Jill's immense relief, it was only Mr. Tudor, with a great bough of holly in his hand.
"And so would you, Mahatma, if you had felt Jack's hot breath on your back and Jill's teeth in your tail." The Hare sat silent for a time, while I employed myself in watching certain shadows stream past us on the Great White Road. Among them was that of a politician whom I had much admired upon the earth.
Yet the jeweller, with his sixth sense, had seen through them in a trifle under ten seconds. Jill come to the conclusion that her newly-discovered love for Wally Mason had equipped her with a sixth sense, and that by its aid she was really for the first time seeing Derek as he was.

When he heard the car approaching, he made for the pavement, turning a puzzled face in our direction. At that moment I heard Jill's voice. "Berry, Berry, I can hear a car coming. I expect it's Boy." There was not a moment to lose. Quick as a flash I drew alongside the limousine, which stood on our left between us and the hotel.
And as he ran the soul of the desert, born of the sun, palms, ennui, flies, the sand, and Allah knows what besides, suddenly sat up in Jill's eyes and laughed, and as she laughed the words "Go always alone in ze night to 'is oasis bien aimée" rang in the girl's ears, as a strange and startling idea flashed across her mind.
