And yet, I suppose, I must go back. I've almost had the three months I promised myself. But I'm going to try and take Jean with me. Lewis Elliot and I mean to arrange things so that Jean can have her chance." "Why should Lewis Elliot have anything to do with it?" Her brother's tone brought a surprised look into Pamela's eyes. "Lewis is a relation as well as a very old friend.
'Good heavens! how could she do him any harm? 'Well, there's Mannering. As if that mattered! said the girl scornfully. 'And then Beryl's too dreadfully humble! 'Humble! About what? No girl ought to be humble ever! Pamela's eyes recovered their natural brilliance under his peremptory look.
Oh, I know life's furiously amusing and exciting of course it is. But I want something solid. You've got it, somehow." Nan broke off and thought "It's Frances Carr she's got. That's permanent. That goes on. Pamela's anchored. All these people I have these men and women they're not anchors, they're stimulants, and how different that is!" They looked at each other in silence.
She was a singular girl this Priscilla Gower. The first time Theo ever saw her display an interest in anybody, or in anything, was when she first heard Pamela's love-story mentioned.
