Because I was without a father in the legitimate way he would have thought he was conferring a great honour on me by marrying me, and would probably have expected me to drudge for him while he idled his time away.... Oh, when I think what a life I have led here, with you, full of interesting work and bright prospects, free from money anxieties dearest, dearest Norie I can't thank you enough.

You gave me a horrid start, and I realized for the first time that I've got a heart. I really must sit down and pant." Vivie: "I am sorry, dearest. I had not the slightest notion you would be letting yourself into the office at this hour 8 o'clock and I was just returning from my crammers..." Norie: "I came for those Cranston papers. Mother is ill.

I don't think I want to go to Kew at all ... much sooner we had tea together, here, on the roof..." Norie: "I suppose it's Frank Gardner again, as I see his handwriting on that envelope. Well I'm sorry about Kew I should have enjoyed it..." Norie: "Nonsense!

Why, till you told me this I'd as soon have trusted my daughter if I had one with an architect as with a Colonel of Engineers You know! The kind that believes in the identity of the Ten Lost Tribes with the British and is a True Protestant! Poor Beryl! But how? what? when? why?" Norie: "I think it began at Cambridge the acquaintance did ... Later, it developed into a passion.

We've women clerks and typewriteresses ... Adams, I notice, is growing, and he has the trace of a moustache and is already devoted to you ... dog-like..." Vivie: "He's still more devoted to cricket, fortunately; and as soon as Rose and Lilian had gone he was off too.... Only, I fancy, he discards Regent's Park now in favour of Hendon or Herne Hill..." Norie: "Now, about Frank Gardner..."

Norie: "Oh, as to her, I'm glad to say 'much better. When I can get away, after the new clerks and Beryl are installed and everything is going smoothly, I shall take her to Switzerland, to a deliciously quiet spot I know and nobody else knows up the Göschenenthal. The Continent won't be so hot for travelling if we don't start till the end of August..."

There's something so staunch about him and he is so useful that he and Praed and Stead are the three exceptions I make in my general hatred of mankind..." Norie: "He will be very much cut up at your going or seeming to go." Vivie: "Just so.

Last came Tombs, the Cambridge 'professor, a lean youth with a sour mouth and eyes that reminded me of Launcelot Wake. 'Ye'll no be a mawgnate, Mr Brand, though ye come from South Africa, said Mr Norie with a great guffaw. 'Not me. I'm a working engineer, I said. 'My father was from Scotland, and this is my first visit to my native country, as my friend Mr Amos was telling you.

Vivie: "Yes the pretty girl short, curly hair, brown eyes, rather full lips, good at mathematics hockey ... purposely shocked you by her outspokenness well?" Norie: "Well, she's had a baby ... a month ago ... awful rumpus with her people ... Father's Dean Clarges ... Norwich or Ely, I forget which ... They've put her in a Nursing Home in Seymour Street.

And all because I spotted that new find of emery powder in Tripoli, saw it in a Consular Report.... "I want to be rich and therefore powerful, Norie! Then people will forget fast enough about my shameful parentage." Norie: "How is she? Do you ever hear from or of her now?" Vivie: "I haven't heard from her for two years, since I left her letters unanswered. But I hear of her every now and again.
