She had had time to take in their companion's face; and with it, as such things were easy for her, she took in all. "Different yes. But better!" If Waymarsh was sombre he was also indeed almost sublime. He told them nothing, left his absence unexplained, and though they were convinced he had made some extraordinary purchase they were never to learn its nature.
Bilham's on the other, with Waymarsh stupendously opposite, and with the great hum of Paris coming up in softness, vagueness-for Strether himself indeed already positive sweetness through the sunny windows toward which, the day before, his curiosity had raised its wings from below.
Strether rambled alone during these few days, the effect of the incident of the previous week having been to simplify in a marked fashion his mixed relations with Waymarsh. Nothing had passed between them in reference to Mrs.
You've got Chad and Chad has got you." "I see" she made of it what she could. "And you've got Maria." Well, he on his side accepted that. "I've got Maria. And Maria has got me. So it goes." "But Mr. Jim whom has he got?" "Oh he has got or it's as IF he had the whole place." "But for Mr. Waymarsh" she recalled "isn't Miss Barrace before any one else?" He shook his head.
Waymarsh was by this time near enough to show signs his friend could read, though he seemed to look almost carefully at nothing in particular. "Then for himself?" "For nobody. For nothing. For freedom." "But what has freedom to do with it?" Strether's answer was indirect. "To be as good as you and me. But different."
But HE at least could be more definite. "I'm going to take you right down to London." "Oh I've been down to London!" Waymarsh more softly moaned. "I've no use, Strether, for anything down there." "Well," said Strether, good-humouredly, "I guess you've some use for me." "So I've got to go?" "Oh you've got to go further yet." "Well," Waymarsh sighed, "do your damnedest!
The action of the matter, moreover, Strether could see, was to penetrate; he saw that is, how Chad judged a system of influence in which Waymarsh had served as a determinant an impression just now quickened again; with the whole bearing of such a fact on the youth's view of his relatives.
It's a detail, but it's as if there were something something very good TO sniff." Waymarsh's face had shown his friend an attention apparently so remote that the latter was slightly surprised to find it at this point abreast with him. "Do you mean a smell? What of?" "A charming scent. But I don't know." Waymarsh gave an inferential grunt. "Does he live there with a woman?" "I don't know."
That he was prepared to be vague to Waymarsh about the hour of the ship's touching, and that he both wanted extremely to see him and enjoyed extremely the duration of delay these things, it is to be conceived, were early signs in him that his relation to his actual errand might prove none of the simplest.
He winced a little, truly, at the thought that Waymarsh might be already at Chester; he reflected that, should he have to describe himself there as having "got in" so early, it would be difficult to make the interval look particularly eager; but he was like a man who, elatedly finding in his pocket more money than usual, handles it a while and idly and pleasantly chinks it before addressing himself to the business of spending.
