Oh, it couldn't be true that he cared for was interested in that woman, the major's wife!
He was polite to his wife, and even loverlike with the set phrases and gestures and caresses of habit. Beyond that, he paid her no attention at all.

His dark face grew gloomy as the days passed.

They were in good spirits now, and for the rest of the evening were as loverlike as always, the nearer together for the bit of rough sea they had weathered so nicely. Neither spoke of Miss Hallowell. Each had privately resolved never to speak of her to the other again.
"Do you know what I should like you to be?" she said, with a bright smile and one of those sudden descents into shallowness which he appeared to like. "What?" "A politician." "Then I shall be a politician," he answered, with loverlike promptness. "That would be very nice," she said; and the castles she at once began to build were not entirely aerial in their structure. This was not a new idea.
