It's because I DO that I wanted to talk to your grandmother first that I was waiting and watching for the right moment..." "The right moment? So was I. That's why I've spoken." His voice rose again and took the sharp edge it had in moments of high pressure. His step-mother turned away and seated herself in her sofa-corner. "Oh, my dear, it's not a privilege to quarrel over!
But go back to Pasquale? Oh, no-o-o!" She fell back in her sofa-corner, and fixed her great, deep imploring eyes on me. "My dear," said I, "you know this is your home as long as ever you choose to stay in it but " and I stroked her hair gently "if he comes back when your child is born his child " She drew herself up superbly. "It is my child my very, very own," cried Carlotta.
"Why didn't you let me know you were still in town?" he asked, as he sat down in the sofa-corner near her chair. Her dark smile deepened. "I hoped you'd come and see." "One never knows, with you." He was looking about the room with a kind of confused pleasure in its pale shadows and spots of dark rich colour.
I railed at myself for my doubts of her. She was subdued and thoughtful all the day. In the evening, instead of curling herself up in the sofa-corner among the cushions, she sat on a stool by my feet as I read, one hand supporting her chin, the other resting on my knee. "I am glad he was a brave man," she said at last, alluding to Pasquale for the first time since the morning. "I like brave men."
At the glass of the door, and at the wizened old face that appeared behind it, she looked with unseeing eyes; and she followed Maurice mechanically along the passage to a door at the end. In his agitation the young man forgot to knock; and as they entered, a figure sprang up from the sofa-corner, and made a few impulsive steps towards them. Maurice went over to Louise and took her hand.
I believe that at first my sister-in-law wouldn't let the girls come down when Susy dined with her." "Well, isn't your cousin's present attitude the best possible proof that times have changed?" "Yes, yes; I know." She leaned forward from her sofa-corner, fixing her eyes on his thin kindly face, which gleamed on her indistinctly through her tears. "If it's true, it's it's dazzling.
Franklin Ide rose from his seat and crossed the room to a chair near her sofa-corner. "All I cared about was that it seemed for the moment to be carrying you toward me," he said. "I cared about that, too. That's why I meant to go away without seeing you." They gave each other grave look for look. "Because, you see, I was mistaken," she went on. "We were both mistaken.
That was his secret, then, THEIR secret: he had met the girl in Paris and helped her in her straits lent her money, Anna vaguely conjectured and she had fallen in love with him, and on meeting him again had been suddenly overmastered by her passion. Anna, dropping back into her sofa-corner, sat staring these facts in the face.
He did not move from his place, or raise his head from his hands; his hidden eyeballs went on staring into utter darkness. "At least I loved you " he brought out. On the other side of the hearth, from the sofa-corner where he supposed that she still crouched, he heard a faint stifled crying like a child's. He started up and came to her side. "Ellen! What madness! Why are you crying?
She curled herself up in the familiar sofa-corner, and as it was a chilly night I sent for a wrap which I threw over her limbs. "See, I have the dear red slippers," she remarked, arching her instep. "And I have my dear Carlotta," said I. I drew my chair near her, and gradually I learned all the unhappy story.
