When Herbert Le Breton heard of it from his mother a few days later, he went home at once to his own eminently cultured home and told Mrs. Le Breton the news, of course without much detailed allusion to Selah's earlier antecedents.
Her eyes were still fixed upon Selah's smiling face. The meeting was important. The day and even the hour was fixed when the women would announce the plans by which they were determined to obtain suffrage in Jordan County. So far the men had not received a hint as to what these plans were.
Indeed, if it weren't for the lasting affection I bear you' he put this in awkwardly, but he felt it necessary to do so, for the flash of Selah's eyes fairly cowed him for the moment 'I wouldn't have come here at all this afternoon to see you. It might get us both into very serious trouble, and and and delay the prospect of our marriage.
And then, you know, dear, he added, seeing a certain cloud gathering dimly on Selah's forehead, 'I want to make my wife a real lady. Selah looked at him tenderly, and gave the hand she hold in hers a faint pressure.
How beautifully that warm brown sail stands out in a curve against the cold grey line of the horizon a bulging curve just like the swell of Selah's neck, when she throws her head back, so, and lets you see the contour of her throat, her beautiful rounded throat ah, that's not giving her up now, is it? What a confounded fool I am, to be sure!
Even in the privacy of domestic intercourse he had phrases, excuses, explanations, ways of putting things, which, as she felt, were too sublime for just herself; they were pitched, as Selah's nature was pitched, altogether in the key of public life. That was where the shoe pinched that was where Selah was slim. He couldn't hold the attention of an audience, he was not acceptable as a lecturer.
'Aren't you afraid of being seen sitting with me like this, she said, 'on the Embankment benches? Some of your fine friends might come by and wonder who on earth you had got here with you. And, indeed, Selah's dress had grown vory shabby and poor-looking during a long and often fruitless search for casual work or employment in London.
"What is it, father?" came Selah's voice, tinkling like ice in a glass. "Selah! whatsh thish mean?" he roared. "What does what mean, father?" "No light! I've just been asshaulted in my own house!" he shouted. "Assaulted?" she giggled, turning the switch. The hall below was instantly flooded with light. She beheld the Colonel leaning against the newel post, looking up but not seeing her.
Deal seated at the far end of the first row. "Molly!" he called sternly. The even rhythm of Molly's fan did not change. She did not so much as turn her head. Her large blue eyes upturned beneath their thick lids never wavered from Selah's face. "Molly, come out! I'm waitin' for you!" shouted the Squire in a louder, unmistakable voice of command.
Selah's lip curled a little at the sound of that familiar language. 'And suppose I was, she replied, defiantly, in her reckless fashion; 'suppose I was: what's that to you or anybody, I should like to know? Are you your brother's keeper, as your own Bible puts it?
