Tristram and Iseult, Troilus and Cressida,Romeo and
Juliet, Emma Bovary. If a man loved me Id do anything at all for him.
By jove,suppose he didnt have to marry
her.
And even they wentfor their lives when they saw me
coming. Then Cabell came in and Doug went for his life. He reined the horses and
looked along the road.
He moved away irresolutely and picked uphis hat,
wiped a patch of dust off the nap on his sleeve.
Her bodywas less angular, more supple, but
clenched, sprung.
There was nothing left for it except to
sell.
Harriet sat down under the window and he sat down
beside her. I wouldnt askyou, only the old mans clean off his nut. And hastily, as
hefrowned, she added, Oh, Im sorry. Her father is most intimately connectedwith the
Felsies and her uncle was a bishop in England.
You fill your heads with a lot of poppycock outof
books.
He did not pause to analyse his emotions so
precisely.
But he said toDoug, You be careful what youre doing
there. She paused and eyed the flush on Harrietscheeks and the disorder of her
hair.
A decent, modest girl, a nice girl, wouldnt look at
a manin that hungry way.
The thin glaze of amiability dried off Peppiotts
face.
He said nothing, enjoying the long, awkward
silence. She turned on her side and rested her head in her crooked arm. Harriet rose
too and went to the door with him. She turned on her side and rested her head in her
crooked arm.
Id say youwere cruel only now that youve given it I
cant remember howterrible it was. The way his facehad suddenly relaxed frightened
her, but made her happy too.
No, no, his mother wouldget him out of it as she
had always got him out. Dyou thinktheres much joy watching them go by the board? His
face was puffed up andred with anger.
With the egotism of the happy lover she saw the
worldremade to be the perfect mirror of her mood.
