As a man, he spurred downhill at the risk of a bad fall. Hazel, unlike the women of civilization, who are pursued by looking-glasses, was apt to forget herself and her appearance. She had done so now. But something in Reddin's face recalled her. She hastily took the butterfly out of her skirt and put on her shoes and stockings. 'What song? asked Reddin. 'A bird in the tree.
Could I say fairer than that, man to man? Edward looked at him, and it was such a look that his face and ears reddened. 'You are not a man, Edward said, with complete detachment; 'you are nothing but sex organs. He went in and shut the door. Edward said nothing to Hazel of Reddin's visit.
All things were confused in her mind, like the sounds that were in the wind; Reddin's face, distorted with rage, as he advanced on Sally with his arm raised; the howling of the baby; the sound of her bees burning going off like apple-pips.

They were not her comrades. They did not live her life. She had to live theirs. She wished she had never seen Reddin, never gone to Hunter's Spinney. Edward's house was at least peaceful. 'And what, she heard Vessons say, 'will yer lordship's Sally Virtue say? She did not hear Reddin's reply; it was fierce and low. She wondered who Sally Virtue was, but she was too tired to think much about it.
