"I certainly never have," said I; "in fact, I make it a point not to look under the bonnets of those gray-garbed women." "When you meet them in the street?" he asked. "Yes," I replied. "She knows us both," said Walkirk, "and she has now gone to the house to tell the people who we are; and yet I am surprised that she met us so serenely.
I should say that the best way of getting rid of such an image would be to merge it in a lot of other female images." "Away with the idea!" I cried. "Walkirk, I will neither merge nor relieve. I will go with you to some place where we shall see neither men nor women; where we can hunt, fish, sail, sleep, read, smoke, and banish the world. I don't wish you to take a servant.
"If we had kept on to the station, by this short cut, the telegraph boy, who of course came by the main road, would have missed me, and there would not have been time for him to get back to the station before the train started. How fortunate it was that I went back for that wasp." "Wasp!" almost screamed Walkirk, and by the way he looked at me, I know he imagined that I was temporarily insane.
"Put that in the past tense, please," I replied; "whatever it may have given, it gives nothing now. To hope would be absurd." "Mr. Vanderley," exclaimed Walkirk, "I would not give up in that way.
What I replied to this I do not remember, but I know I expressed myself so freely, so explicitly, and with such force that Walkirk understood very well that I wanted the secretary I had lost, that I wanted none other, and that I wanted her very much indeed. In fact, he comprehended the situation perfectly. I was not sorry.
I was already nearing the southern limit of my travels, and my return northward had not been productive of the sort of subject-matter I desired. In my recitals to Walkirk I had gone much more into detail regarding my experiences, and had talked about a great many things which it had been pleasant to talk about, but which I did not consider good enough to put into my book.
No one lives here, but this female person came in a small sailboat. I saw it tied up, not far from where she is sitting." "If women come here," I said, "I want to go, and you may as well get ready to leave." "I think," remarked Walkirk, "that it would be well not to be in too great a hurry to leave.
For a few moments I walked up and down the room; then I asked, "How did Mother Anastasia come to be the Mother Superior?" "I have been told," said Walkirk, "that she gave most of the money for the founding of the institution, and it was natural enough that she should be placed at the head. I have an idea that she would not have been willing to enter the House except as its head."
"Walkirk," said I, "I am quite sure that you mean well, and I don't intend to find fault with you; but this sort of thing does not suit me; let us have no more of it." As soon as my grandmother heard that I was at Arden, she terminated her visit abruptly, and returned home. When she saw me, she expressed the opinion that my holiday had not been of any service to me.
People might have talked, but Sylvia would have known that prohibitions and separations would make no difference in my feeling for her. And now I was going away without a word or a sign, or even the slightest trifle which I could cherish as a memento of her. There was a blankness about it all which deadened my soul. But Walkirk was inexorable.
