But it must be acknowledged that she never looked "shiny." She had some ivory hair-brushes given to her one Christmas by Bruce Evelin. Beside them was placed a hideous receptacle for well, for anything pins, perhaps, buttons, small tiresomenesses of that kind.
Letitia flounced off, and Betty, his back turned, tore up the drawing. And, as a beautiful background to the gross realism of Mothers' meetings and Parish tiresomenesses, was always the atmosphere of the golden mornings, the dew and the stillness, the gleam of his white coat among the pine-trees. For he was always first at the tryst now.
She bore Theresa no ill-will. An inclination to grudge or resentment seemed to her unworthy. Whatever Theresa's tiresomenesses, they were over and done with, surely, quite immensely long ago. The hymn given out and the tune of it played through, the assembly scraped and rustled to its feet. Damaris standing, in height overtopping her neighbours, discreetly turned her head.
She seemed totally devoid of the little tiresomenesses belonging to many woman tiresomenesses which spring out of vanity and affectation, the desire of possession, the uneasy wish to "cut out" publicly other women. Mrs. Clarke would surely never "manage" a man. If she held a man it would be with the listless and yet imperative grip of Stamboul.
