"You QUIT that!" he said aloud, and awoke indignantly. Again a dark, wrappered figure hovered over the bed. "It's only a hot-water bag, dear," Mrs. Schofield said, still labouring under the covers with an extended arm.
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him "I suppose pride and self-assertion are sin? Sinned against heaven Yes, I have sinned against heaven and before thee.... "Poor old daddy! I wonder if he'll spend much on the fatted calf?... "The wrappered life-discipline! One comes to that at last.
Great vistas of history opened, and she and her aunt were near reverting to the primitive and passionate and entirely indecorous arboreal were swinging from branches by the arms, and really going on quite dread-fully when their arrival at the Palsworthys' happily checked this play of fancy, and brought Ann Veronica back to the exigencies of the wrappered life again.
Much more temperate; the discreet and joyless love of a virtuous, reluctant, condescending wife. She had been quite convinced that an engagement with him and at last a marriage had exactly that quality of compromise which distinguishes the ways of the wise. It would be the wrappered world almost at its best.
A world in which days without meaning, days in which "we don't want things to happen" followed days without meaning until the last thing happened, the ultimate, unavoidable, coarse, "disagreeable." It was her last evening in that wrappered life against which she had rebelled. Warm reality was now so near her she could hear it beating in her ears.

He responded instantly to her softened tone. "I WOULD like some tea. I've been feeling rotten! And say, Mart," he had drawn up to the table now, and had one wrappered arm about Teddy, "say, Mart," he said eagerly, "listen! This'll interest you. Thompson's brother-in-law, Bill Buffington, was there; he's an awfully nice fellow; he's got coffee interests in Costa Rica.
She saw her life before her robbed of all generous illusions, the wrappered life unwrappered forever, vistas of dull responses, crises of make-believe, years of exacting mutual disregard in a misty garden of fine sentiments.
