Beautiful is Italy with the grave and delicate outlines of her sacred hills, her dark groves, her little cities perched like eyries on the crags, her rivers gliding under ancient walls; beautiful is Italy, her seas, and her suns: but dearer to me the long grey wave that bites the rock below the minster in the north; dearer is the barren moor and black peat-water swirling in tanny foam, and the scent of bog myrtle and the bloom of heather, and, watching over the lochs, the green round-shouldered hills.
Instead of which here am I rubbing him with oil to rub the life into him. And I KNOW he'll bite me, like a warmed snake, the moment he recovers. And Tanny will say 'Quite right, too, I shouldn't have been so intimate. No, I should have left it to mechanical doctors and nurses. "So I should. Everything to its own.
As soon as this man's really better he'll punch me in the wind, metaphorically if not actually, for having interfered with him. And Tanny would say, he was quite right to do it. She says I want power over them. What if I do? They don't care how much power the mob has over them, the nation, Lloyd George and Northcliffe and the police and money.

She screwed up her eyes, looking at Tanny. "Perhaps it would do Robert good to be hurt a little," said Tanny. "He's so well-nourished." "Yes! Yes! I see what you mean, Tanny! Poor old ROB-ert!
"Oh, men with their beastly logic, their either-this-or-that stunt, they are an awful bore. But of course, Robert can't love you REALLY, or he'd want to keep you. I can see Lilly discussing such a thing for ME. But then you don't love Robert either," said Tanny. "I do! Oh, I do, Tanny! I DO love him, I love him dearly. I think he's beautiful. Robert's beautiful. And he NEEDS me.
At the next interval he stood up suddenly. "It IS the chap What?" he exclaimed excitedly, looking round at his friends. "Who?" said Tanny. "It IS he?" said Josephine quietly, meeting Jim's eye. "Sure!" he barked. He was leaning forward over the ledge, rattling a programme in his hand, as if trying to attract attention. Then he made signals. "There you are!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
