I mean to marry a woman. Female sex always has been in the struggle for existence no great damage so far always will be. Tremendous idea that struggle for existence. Only sensible theory you've got hold of, Lewisham. Woman who isn't fighting square side by side with a man woman who's just kept and fed and petted is ..." He hesitated.
Dunkerley had been in the habit of applying for several years, always in vain, and Lewisham had seen no harm in following his example. But then Dunkerley had no green-grey certificates. So Lewisham spent all that "duty" left him of the next day composing a letter to copy out and send the several scholastic agencies.
An attic it was, with lead-framed dormer windows, a slanting ceiling and a bulging wall, covered, as a number of torn places witnessed, with innumerable strata of florid old-fashioned paper. To judge by the room Mr. Lewisham thought little of Love but much on Greatness.
"Every man needs a Lode Star," said Parkson and Lewisham swore under his breath. Parkson's lodgings were now near at hand to the left, and it occurred to him this boredom would be soonest ended if he took Parkson home, Parkson consented mechanically, still discoursing. "I have often seen you talking to Miss Heydinger," he said. "If you will pardon my saying it ..."
There waiting for him by a seat where once they had met before, he found Miss Heydinger pacing. They walked up and down side by side, speaking for a little while about indifferent topics, and then they came upon a pause ... "You have something to tell me?" said Miss Heydinger abruptly. Lewisham changed colour a little. "Oh yes," he said; "the fact is " He affected ease.
The woman smiled with the corners of her mouth down, and without a word moved wearily towards the door. Lewisham felt a transient wonder at her hopeless position, but he did not pursue the inquiry. The next landlady sufficed. She was a clean-looking German woman, rather smartly dressed; she had a fringe of flaxen curls and a voluble flow of words, for the most part recognisably English.
The young country-bred lad breathed more freely when he had left the weary streets of Southwark and Lewisham behind him, and he watched with delight the glorious prospect as the coach, whirled along by six dapple greys, passed by the classic grounds of Knowle, or after crossing Riverside Hill skirted the vast expanse of the Weald of Kent.
Your chemical lecturers you may go downstairs now and ask, if you disbelieve me always cheat over the indestructibility of matter experiment always. And then another a physiography thing. You know the experiment I mean? To demonstrate the existence of the earth's rotation. They use they use " "Foucault's pendulum," said Lewisham.
Usually the self-proposed "Luther of Socialism" ridiculous Lewisham! had a thesis or so to maintain, but this night he was depressed and inattentive. He sat with his legs over the arm of his chair by way of indicating the state of his mind.
He perceived he was being given to understand that this was a Paragon of Purity, and that she was the particular property of Parkson. Parkson was regarding him proudly, and apparently awaiting his verdict. Lewisham struggled with the truth. "It's an interesting face," he said. "It is a face essentially beautiful," said Parkson quietly but firmly. "Do you notice the eyes, Lewisham?"
