The young man waited a little, wondering if he had only gone to put on something extraordinary; this would account for his delay as well as contribute further to Overt's impression of his tendency to do the approved superficial thing. But he didn't arrive he must have been putting on something more extraordinary than was probable.
An indefinite envy rose in Paul Overt's heart as he took his way on foot alone; a feeling addressed alike strangely enough, to each of the occupants of the hansom. How much he should like to rattle about London with such a girl! How much he should like to go and look at "types" with St. George!
These words rang not a little in Paul Overt's consciousness they held him briefly silent. "It's a wonder she has remained as she is; giving herself away so with so much to give away." "Remaining, you mean, so ingenuous so natural? Oh she doesn't care a straw she gives away because she overflows. She has her own feelings, her own standards; she doesn't keep remembering that she must be proud.
"Ah you've not been here before?" said his companion. "It's a nice little place not much to do, you know". Overt wondered what he wanted to "do" he felt that he himself was doing so much. By the time they came to where the others sat he had recognised his initiator for a military man and such was the turn of Overt's imagination had found him thus still more sympathetic.
His impression fairly shook him and he throbbed with the excitement of such deep soundings and such strange confidences. The idea of his, Paul Overt's, becoming the occasion of such an act of humility made him flush and pant, at the same time that his consciousness was in certain directions too much alive not to swallow and not intensely to taste every offered spoonful of the revelation.
It was a fond prevision of Overt's rather than an observation on actual data, for which occasions had been too few, that the Master thus more closely viewed would have the quality, the charming gift, of flashing out, all surprisingly, in personal intercourse and at moments of suspended or perhaps even of diminished expectation.
