We've all had pasts What interests me is Minnie's future. ASHER. Of course you wouldn't decline my offer on Minnie's account. DR. JONATHAN. On my own account, Asher. We'll say no more about Minnie. ASHER. You refuse to help me, when I'm starting out on a liberal scheme which I thought you would be the first to endorse?
In the light of the countenance beside him, no less than of the event of the day, his behaviour of the morning began to seem to him more than disputable. In the morning he had seemed to himself the defender of Elizabeth and the class to which they both belonged against low-born adventurers with disreputable pasts.
This will give her a chance, because these good ladies and gentlemen who are dying to see what she's like, and persuade her to tell their pasts and futures, are at the top of the tree. It's a cheap way for us to make her happy and we can afford it." "Don't you believe she really is clairvoyant, and sees things in her crystal?" Annesley ventured.
She was idling in a hammock in the patio of the house that she occupied, half awake, half happily dreaming of the paradise that she and Merriam had created out of the wrecks of their pasts. She was content now for the horizon of that shimmering sea to be the horizon of her life. They had shut out the world and closed the door.
And joined in the shout that rose off the table. I can sketch her in for you rather simply because of the hackneyed lines of her very, very old story. Whose pasts so quickly mold and disintegrate as those of women of Hester's stripe? Their yesterdays are entirely soluble in the easy waters of their to-days.
And then I had absorbed its beauties one by one, they had become a part of my imagination, they held me by a hundred threads of far-reaching association. And suddenly I had expected to create this kind of intense personal tie between myself and a roomful of new cold alien presences things staring at me vacantly from the depths of unknown pasts! Can you fancy a more preposterous hope?
And now, when at last we have shut up the flat, turned the key upon our pasts, and got irrevocably on board the "Batavier" boat, which will land us in Rotterdam, she has moaned more than once, "I feel as if nothing would be the same with us ever, ever again." "So do I," I've answered unfeelingly. "And I'm glad."
The truth is, my dear, we both have pasts, which it is now my task to make known to you, because they so grievously and deeply affect your future. Many, very many years ago, as far back indeed as 1883, when she was only twenty, your mother had the great and lasting misfortune to make an unhappy marriage no, not with me, Jon.
There were other moments when all that surge swung back and forth to the rhythm of the poisoned recollection of her unacknowledged humiliation in Lydford; when, inflamed with determination to avoid another such blow in the face, Sylvia almost consciously asked herself, self-contemptuously, "Who am I, an obscure, poverty-stricken music-teacher out of the West, to fancy that I have but to choose between two such men, two such fortunes?" but against this counted strongly the constantly recurring revelations of the obscure pasts of many of the women whom she met during those days, women who were now shining, acknowledged firsts in the procession of success.
No margin for delays, no physical respite. Some pasts take a deal of raking up other persons may be affected; men are cautious, they trip you up with red tape; or the man who knows is out at lunch a protracted lunch; or in the country a protracted week-end. Will you see Mr So-and-so, or leave a note? Oh! I know those public departments from the inside!
