And rising, she turned to the open window and the bright garden outside, with a smiling remark on the decorative value of begonias, as though nothing had happened. Winnington's temperament did not allow him to answer a woman uncivilly under any circumstances. But they parted as duellists part before the fray.
But Gertrude Marvell never recognised anything of the kind; and in her presence Delia rarely confessed any such weakness even to herself. As it was, her eyes and mouth wavered a little under Winnington's look. "Thank you," she said quietly. "I shall soon be rested." They sat down. Delia was conscious unwillingly conscious, of a nervous agitation she did her best to check.
And Clarissa Gage would have her bower done her clematis bower before the leaves were brown and shrivelled and there only remained the loving spindle-shanked stems clinging faithfully to the half-rotten framework which they could no longer clothe with verdure. What a bower Will Locke made of Clary's bower! as unique as Sam Winnington's portrait of Clary herself.
And there had opened before her more and more alluringly that world of social service, which is to so many beautiful souls outside Catholicism the equivalent of the vowed and dedicated life. But just as of old, she guessed Mark Winnington's thoughts, and by some instinct divined his troubles.
Whilst making the first statement, he doubtless remembered the passage in 'Pepys's Diary. For the second statement, he refers to 'Layton's Conversation with Chief Justice Hale. It is fair to assume that Lord Macauley had never seen Sir Francis Winnington's fee-book.
Then, for the first time, Winnington realised what it may be to wrestle with a man in torment. The next day, the young cavalryman, at Winnington's invitation, took his old friend for a ride, and before dawn on the following day, the youth was off on leave, and neither Major nor Mrs. Blanchflower, Winnington believed, had ever seen him again.
From either side, a couple of motor lamps of great brilliance concentrated upon them threw their faces and figures into harsh relief. The crowd was steadily pressing toward the waggon, and it was evident at once to Winnington and his companion that it was not a friendly crowd. "Looks rather ugly, to me!" said Andrews in Winnington's ear.
She was silent a moment, and then said sorely "I suppose that means, that if we did all the work we might do we needn't bother about the vote." He turned upon with animation "I vow I wasn't thinking about the vote!" "Miss Amberley doesn't seem to bother about it." Winnington's voice shewed amusement. "I can't imagine Susy a suff. It simply isn't in her."
After all, perhaps the sages and wits were not altogether disinterested: almost every one of them filled Sam Winnington's famous sitter's chair, and depended on Sam's tasteful pencil handing down their precious noses and chins to posterity.
Of course, she meant to keep her word if she might; but there are two at a bargain-making: and observe, she said "with her will;" she made no reference to Sam Winnington's pleasure. And yet, arrogant as Clary could be on her worst side, she had found her own intentions and purposes knocked down by Sam Winnington's determinations before now.
