The gale spilled itself upon us, and the Araminta, sick and spent, slowly settled down. The last I saw of her" Philip raised his voice as though he would hide what he felt behind an unsentimental loudness "was the white pennant at the main-top gallant masthead.
But memory turned traitor, and as if possessed by the perverse spirit of the girl, would only recall Jo's oddities, faults, and freaks, would only show her in the most unsentimental aspects beating mats with her head tied up in a bandanna, barricading herself with the sofa pillow, or throwing cold water over his passion a la Gummidge and an irresistable laugh spoiled the pensive picture he was endeavoring to paint.
