Verver's those they IMPOSE on Charlotte and the Prince. Those," she developed, "that, so perversely, as I say, have succeeded in setting themselves up as the right ones." He considered but only now, at last, really to relapse into woe. "Your 'perversity, my dear, is exactly what I don't understand. The state of things existing hasn't grown, like a field of mushrooms, in a night.
Verver's marriage. You weren't at least in love with Charlotte." "Oh," Mrs. Assingham, at this, always brought out, "my hand in that is easily accounted for by my desire to be agreeable to HIM." "To Mr. Verver?"
Verver's silence, on this, could only be a sign that she had caused her story to interest him; though the sign when he spoke was perhaps even sharper. "And is it also what you mean by Charlotte's being 'great'?" "Well," said Maggie, "it's one of her ways. But she has many." Again for a little her father considered. "And who is it she has tried to marry?"
Verver's straight neck had certainly not slipped it; nor had the other end of the long cord oh, quite conveniently long! disengaged its smaller loop from the hooked thumb that, with his fingers closed upon it, her husband kept out of sight.
Verver's tap against the glass, as I have called it, into fifty forms; could perhaps have translated it most into the form of a reminder that would pierce deep. "You don't know what it is to have been loved and broken with. You haven't been broken with, because in your RELATION what can there have been, worth speaking of, to break?
Verver's tone was cheerfully pensive. "Well, I've given you, by MY move, all the trouble of having to." He liked the tenderness of her idea, and it made him, as she sat near him, pass his arm about her. "I guess I don't feel as if you had 'moved' very far. You've only moved next door." "Well," she continued, "I don't feel as if it were fair for me just to have given you a push and left you so.
Fane," each hoping that the other would really stay to tea. Charlotte was sure she should find Maggie there on getting home a remark in which Mrs. Verver's immediate response to her friend's inquiry had culminated. She had thus, on the spot, the sense of having given her plenty to think about, and that moreover of liking to see it even better than she had expected.
Verver's solvency. The Assinghams were there, by prescription, though quite at the foot of the social ladder, and with the Colonel's wife, in spite of her humility of position, the Prince was more inwardly occupied than with any other person except Charlotte.
Verver's straight neck had certainly not slipped it; nor had the other end of the long cord oh, quite conveniently long! disengaged its smaller loop from the hooked thumb that, with his fingers closed upon it, her husband kept out of sight.
"I shall go on," Fanny Assingham a trifle grimly declared, "while there's a scrap as big as your nail. But we're not yet, luckily, reduced only to that." She had another pause, holding the while the thread of that larger perception into which her view of Mrs. Verver's obligation to Maggie had suddenly expanded.
