"You're not crying because you've flunked. You're crying because you've caught cold, and you're tired and wet and hungry. You take those wet clothes off this minute and get into a warm bath-robe, and I'll get you some dinner." "I don't want any dinner," wailed Olivia, and she showed signs of turning back to the pillows again.
He kissed her peacefully. "Come," he said. "Your shoes are soaking. I am going to take charge of you now." When they entered the house he took her straight to her room, drew up an arm-chair, lighted the fire, filled a foot-bath with hot water, and, calmly opening the wardrobe, pulled out a warm bath-robe. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he knelt and unbuttoned her shoes.
"Well, what's the matter?" Lewis looked ruefully from his father's face to the things on the bed and back again. He felt himself flushing painfully. He opened his mouth to speak and then closed it. Suddenly Leighton's face lit up. He laughed. "Well, well," he cried, "this is splendid! You've given me a new sensation." He yanked a bath-robe from the bed.
As I came to her in my bath-robe, unshaven, once ... she called me her Paphnutius ... and she was my Thaïs ... and she told me Anatole France's story of Thaïs. But the cave-legend of our love ... in a previous incarnation ... was what spelled her most ... she doted on strength ... cruel, sheer, brute strength....

She was in deadly fear. If I had not been afraid of being ridiculous, I would have followed her.

"If I'm to live up to that picture," he thought, "I must see that George keeps this room in better order and I must stop wandering round here in my bath-robe." His mind continued on the picture while he was dressing, and he was so absorbed in it and in analyzing the effect it had had upon him, that his servant spoke twice before he heard him. "No," he answered, "I shall not dine here to-night."
Half a dozen students were gathered about a fireplace with their pipes, clothed in every variety of garment from the sweater or bath-robe to the evening dress of one who had dropped in for a chat on his way to a dance. In another room a game of cards was in progress; in still a third a thoughtful plodder sat close to his shaded lamp, his head resting upon his hand, an open book before him.
That night, during the process of getting ready for bed, Rose put on a bath-robe, picked up her hair brush and went into Portia's room. Portia, much quicker always about such matters, was already on the point of turning out the light, but guessing what her sister wanted, she stacked her pillows, lighted a cigarette, climbed into bed and settled back comfortably for a chat.
But at all sorts of times, and in all sorts of places when they were alone together, the great battle was renewed; mostly through the dead hours of the night, in Rose's bedroom, she sitting up in bed, he tramping up and down, shivering and shuddering in a big bath-robe.
