He was impulsive, though very quiet, immensely and ardently sympathetic and almost too impressionable and enthusiastic. It was not surprising that he was immensely popular generally, as well as specially; he was so interested in everyone except himself. No-one was ever a greater general favourite. There seemed to be no type of person on whom he jarred.
Granny suddenly said, sniffing the air. "'Tis salt! We must be near the sea." "Not just what one would call near, 'tis over seven miles away. Can you really smell the sea?" Ay, ay, no-one need tell Maren that they neared the sea; she had spent all her life near it and ought to know. "And what sea is that?" asked she. "The same as yours," answered Lars Peter.
But, doubtless, the most striking thing about her and what made her popular was her intense interest in other people. It went so far as to reach the very verge of being interference; but she was so pleasant that one could scarcely resent it either as curiosity or intrusion. Since she had stayed with the Ottleys, she appeared to think of no-one and nothing else in the world.
Lady Conroy then.... But how awkward, how disagreeable, how painful to her pride when she had been there only a week and Lady Conroy treated her almost like a sister!... There was a knock at the door. 'Come in! said Dulcie, surprised. No-one ever came to her little sitting-room at this hour, about half-past five. Who could it be?
But she could carry off anything; and some people said that she did. Edith had been allowed by her husband carte blanche in the decoration of their house. This was fortunate, as mise-en-scene was a great gift of hers; no-one had such a sense as Edith for arranging a room. She had struck the happy mean between the eccentric and the conventional.
In her case the indications, from the Roman point of view, all converged on the inference that she had been poisoned. No-one questioned the conclusion. Calvaster was immediately suspected. The evidence against him would not suffice to put in jeopardy any one in our days. To the Romans it seemed sufficient to justify his incarceration and trial.
It was clear that no-one would come into Gregor's room any more until morning; that gave him plenty of time to think undisturbed about how he would have to re-arrange his life. For some reason, the tall, empty room where he was forced to remain made him feel uneasy as he lay there flat on the floor, even though he had been living in it for five years.
No-one sympathises really so well as you, Charles. 'Not even Miss Yeo? 'No, I get on so well with Anne because she doesn't She's always interested, but I prefer her never to agree with me, as she lives here. It would be enervating to have someone always there and perpetually sympathetic. Anne is a tonic. 'You need a little opposition to keep you up, said Sir Charles.
God, it was said in old time, setteth the desolate in families; but somehow, in our time, the desolate wander alone in the midst of a careless and unsympathising world. "There is no-one who cares for my soul. There is no creature loves me, and if I die no one will pity me," is surely one of the bitterest cries that can burst from a breaking heart.
Where is he now, do you know, Mrs Ottley? 'In Armenia, I fancy, said Edith. 'Oh, well, we don't want him to bring home an Armenian, do we? What colour are they? Blue, or brown, or what? I hope no-one will tell Lady Hartland that is my husband. She'll expect to see Winthrop tonight; she never met him, you know; but he really ought to be introduced to her.
