What had perhaps brought on just now a kind of climax was the fact of her appearing to make out, through Aunt Maud, what was really the matter. It couldn't be less than a climax for a poor shaky maiden to find it put to her of a sudden that she herself was the matter for that was positively what, on Mrs. Lowder's part, it came to.
Behind everything for him was his renewed remembrance, which had fairly become a habit, that he had been the first to know her. This was what they had all insisted on, in her absence, that day at Mrs. Lowder's; and this was in especial what had made him feel its influence on his immediately paying her a second visit.
Lowder's reply to Densher's note had been to appoint the tea-hour, five o'clock on Sunday, for his seeing them. Kate had thereafter wired him, without a signature, "Come on Sunday before tea about a quarter of an hour, which will help us"; and he had arrived therefore scrupulously at twenty minutes to five.
It was still the case after he possibly might, with a little imagination, as she freely insisted, have made out, by the visible working of the crisis, what idea on Mrs. Lowder's part had determined it. Such as the idea was and that it suited Kate's own book she openly professed he had only to see how things were turning out to feel it strikingly justified.
Lowder's; the face on the box was just the face that, in coming and going at Lancaster Gate, he would vaguely have noticed, outside, in attendance. With this the rest came: the lady of Lancaster Gate had, on a prompting not wholly remote from his own, presented herself for news; and news, in the house, she was clearly getting, since her brougham had stayed. Sir Luke was then back only Mrs.
"So awfully it's Maud Lowder's own view. And he was nice, in London," said Mrs. Stringham, "to me. One could almost pity him he has had such a good conscience." "That's exactly the inevitable ass." "Yes, but it wasn't I could see from the only few things she first told me that he meant her the least harm. He intended none whatever." "That's always the ass at his worst," Densher returned.
Lowder's part, for the improvement of her social position and it had verily in that direction lights that were perhaps but half a century too prompt; at all of which Kate Croy assisted with the cool controlled facility that went so well, as the others said, with her particular kind of good looks, the kind that led you to expect the person enjoying them would dispose of disputations, speculations, aspirations, in a few very neatly and brightly uttered words, so simplified in sense, however, that they sounded, even when guiltless, like rather aggravated slang.
