"Oh, Givre " She broke off suddenly, feeling as if her too careless tone had delivered all her past into his hands; and with one of her instinctive movements of recoil she added: "When Owen marries I shall have to give it up." "When Owen marries? That's looking some distance ahead! I want to be told that meanwhile you'll have no regrets." She hesitated.
Darrow stood still, and Anna felt that his glance was travelling from her to the scene about them and then back to her face. "You're sure you're prepared to give up Givre? You look so made for each other!"
"No I should like to go away...my friends the Farlows would let me go to them..." Her voice grew firmer and she lifted her eyes to add: "I should like to leave today, if you don't mind." Anna listened with a rising wonder. "You want to leave Givre at once?" She gave the idea a moment's swift consideration. "You prefer to be with your friends till your marriage?
But there is in them "all breathing human passion;" and at times, as in "Le Givre," they rise to majesty and real grandeur because they are impregnated with the sentiment, as well as are records of the phenomena, of nature, and one may say of Rousseau, paraphrasing Mr.
All I ask you is to give me time, to give me a few days at any rate She's been wonderfully 'nice, as she would call it, about you, and about the fact of my having soon to leave Givre; but that, again, may make it harder for Owen. At any rate, you can see, can't you, how it makes me want to stand by him?
He looked pale and stern, with a frown of fatigue between his eyes; and she remembered that in three days he had travelled from Givre to London and back. It seemed incredible that all that had befallen her should have been compressed within the space of three days! "Thank you," he said as she came in. She answered: "It's better, I suppose " He came toward her and took her in his arms.
The rest of Darrow's day was a succession of empty and agitating scenes. On his way down to Givre, before he had seen Effie Leath, he had pictured somewhat sentimentally the joy of the moment when he should take her in his arms and receive her first filial kiss.
She recoiled from her thoughts as if with a sense of demoniac possession, and there flashed through her the longing to return to her old state of fearless ignorance. If at that moment she could have kept Darrow from following her to Givre she would have done so... But he came; and with the sight of him the turmoil fell and she felt herself reassured, rehabilitated.
In the recess of a window a clever member of the Majority, M. Desmousseaux de Givré, who was a little deaf and exceedingly exasperated, almost quarrelled with a Representative of the Right like himself whom he wrongly supposed to be favorable to the coup d'état.
"Won't you please explain?" he said. "I can't explain: I don't know. I didn't even know till she told you that she really meant to break her engagement. All I know is that she came to me just now and said she wished to leave Givre today; and that Owen, when he heard of it for she hadn't told him at once accused her of going away with the secret intention of throwing him over."
