She must be rather a swell." "Oh yes, she's rather a swell!" "A Woollett swell bon! I like the idea of a Woollett swell. And you must be rather one too, to be so mixed up with her." "Ah no," said Strether, "that's not the way it works." But she had already taken him up. "The way it works you needn't tell me! is of course that you efface yourself." "With my name on the cover?" he lucidly objected.
His surprise and his verbal emphasis rang out so clear in the still street that Strether winced till he remembered the safety of their English speech. "Is that," the young man demanded, "what they think at Woollett?" At the good faith in the question Strether had changed colour, feeling that, as he would have said, he had put his foot in it.
He wants me to quit; and he must have written to Woollett that I'm in peril of perdition." "Ah good!" she murmured. "But is it only your supposition?" "I make it out it explains." "Then he denies? or you haven't asked him?" "I've not had time," Strether said; "I made it out but last night, putting various things together, and I've not been since then face to face with him." She wondered.
Nothing will persuade him in the light, that is, of my behaviour that I really didn't, quite as much as Chad, come over to have one before it was too late. He wouldn't have expected it of me; but men of my age, at Woollett and especially the least likely ones have been noted as liable to strange outbreaks, belated uncanny clutches at the unusual, the ideal.
He quite took in, however, that she would really return her visitor's civility: she wouldn't report again at Woollett without at least so much producible history as that in her pocket. "I want extremely to be able to show you my little daughter." Madame de Vionnet went on; "and I should have brought her with me if I hadn't wished first to ask your leave.
They must want him" he had already worked it out "to be better off. Almost any girl he may marry will have a direct interest in his taking up his chances. It won't suit HER at least that he shall miss them." Miss Gostrey cast about. "No you reason well! But of course on the other hand there's always dear old Woollett itself." "Oh yes," he mused "there's always dear old Woollett itself."
There might be motives behind, but so could there often be even at Woollett. The only thing was that if she showed him she wished to like him as the motives behind might conceivably prompt it would possibly have been more thrilling for him that she should have shown as more vividly alien. Ah she was neither Turk nor Pole! which would be indeed flat once more for Mrs. Newsome and Mrs. Pocock.
This morning there WERE letters letters which had reached London, apparently all together, the day of Strether's journey, and had taken their time to follow him; so that, after a controlled impulse to go into them in the reception-room of the bank, which, reminding him of the post-office at Woollett, affected him as the abutment of some transatlantic bridge, he slipped them into the pocket of his loose grey overcoat with a sense of the felicity of carrying them off.
Cutler, the assistant in Mr. Claridge's business; Hahn, who sold the article to Claridge, and Mr. Woollett, who made bids for it. These are all?" "All that I know of. Other gentlemen made bids, I believe, but I don't know them." "Take these people in their order. Mr.
Sarah's answer came so straight, so "pat," as might have been said, that he felt on the instant its origin. "She has confided to my judgement and my tenderness the expression of her personal sense of everything, and the assertion of her personal dignity." They were the very words of the lady of Woollett he would have known them in a thousand; her parting charge to her child. Mrs.
