Stringham suffered. Wonderful and beautiful it was that this impression instantly steadied the girl. Ruefully asking herself on what basis of ease, with the drop of their barrier, they were to find themselves together, she felt the question met with a relief that was almost joy.
Up to what?" "God knows. To some 'game, as they say. To some deviltry. To some duplicity." "Which of course," Mrs. Stringham observed, "is a monstrous supposition." Her companion, after a stiff minute sensibly long for each fell away from her again, and then added to it another minute, which he spent once more looking out with his hands in his pockets.
Lowder, Mrs. Stringham and Kate, and had kept afloat with them, under a sufficient Venetian spell, until Aunt Maud had directed him to leave them and return to Miss Theale.
Neither of us mentioned her, even to sound her name, and nothing whatever in connexion with her passed between us." Mrs. Stringham stared up at him, surprised at this picture. But she had plainly an idea that after an instant resisted it. "That was his professional propriety." "Precisely. But it was also my sense of that virtue in him, and it was something more besides."
When the terms were concluded, the defeated soldier turned to flag-officer Stringham, and asked if the loss of life on the ships had been very large. "Not a man has been injured," was the response. "Wonderful!" exclaimed the questioner. "No one could have imagined that this position could have been captured without sacrificing thousands of men." But so it was.
With what I see you're full of you treated them beautifully. Isn't Kate charming when she wants to be?" Poor Susie's expression, contending at first, as in a high fine spasm, with different dangers, had now quite let itself go. She had to make an effort to reach a point in space already so remote. "Miss Croy? Oh she was pleasant and clever. She knew," Mrs. Stringham added. "She knew."
"And you've been clear to him as the reason?" "Not too clear since I'm sticking here and since that has been a fact to make his descent on Miss Theale relevant. But clear enough. He has believed," said Densher bravely, "that I may have been a reason at Lancaster Gate, and yet at the same time have been up to something in Venice." Mrs. Stringham took her courage from his own. "'Up to' something?
There had been a moment when it seemed possible that Mrs. Stringham, returning to America under convoy, would pause in London on her way and be housed with her old friend; in which case he was prepared for some apparent zeal of attendance.
Milly clearly felt these things too, but they affected her companion at moments that was quite the way Mrs. Stringham would have expressed it as the princess in a conventional tragedy might have affected the confidant if a personal emotion had ever been permitted to the latter.
Stringham had noted that the "sentiment" she rejoiced in on her old schoolmate's part was all a matter of action and movement, was not, save for the interweaving of a more frequent plump "dearest" than she would herself perhaps have used, a matter of much other embroidery. She brooded, with interest, on this further remark of race, feeling in her own spirit a different economy.
