- She and her Companions were obviously Italians 4
- As I walked back I thought over Vernon’s last words 26
- As he vanished, Deeming appeared at the hall-door 63
- While I was there Deeming came back unexpectedly 131
- I went out into the night carrying it in my arms 145
- I laughed.
- He sipped his champagne. Then, more lightly, he said—
- There was a moment’s silence. Then Deeming said—
- II
- He took his hand from my arm, and continued—
- I thought he might be angry, but he wasn’t.
- I hesitated. Then I said—
- III
- I remonstrated with him, but in vain.
- I smiled.
- Something in the tone of his voice moved me to say—
- I saw a sharp look of eagerness come into Vernon’s face.
- I laughed.
- IV
- I seemed to hear the whimper of a dog near us in the night.
- I resented his tone.
- I laughed too, almost as unnaturally as he had.
- My cab was waiting. I jumped into it again and called to the man—

- I heard the doubt in his voice, and added—
- I broke the silence first.
- VII
- I returned his greeting and stepped in.
- I hesitated.
- Then he broke off. After a pause he said—
- VIII
- I tried to laugh too—to laugh at myself.
- Then, suddenly conscious that he was not alone, he exclaimed—
- I strove to speak with conviction, for I was trying to convince myself.
- I said nothing.
- I wondered, but could not tell.
- He gave it to me, shook my hand, and as I turned to go said—
- I thought, “And you’ve spoilt mine,” but I did not say it.
- IX
- I looked at him as I spoke, and saw his forehead contract.
- He took no notice of my interruption, and went on—
- I waited a minute. I was repeating to myself Gernham’s question.
- I was asking myself, not him.
- I looked again at the note.
- He paused, then added in explanation—
- I sat down and waited.
- I heard the scratching of a dog against the inside of the door.
- I knew at once that he was thinking of Gernham and himself.
- I felt embarrassed.
- I was, but I said at once, “I’m entirely at your service, Vernon.”
- XI
- I felt a sensation of horror take hold upon me.
- I turned my eyes from the spaniel to Vernon’s face.
- I noticed that he had not answered my question.

- I nodded.
- I uttered a slight exclamation.
- I got up, and went towards her.
- PANCRAZIA’S HAIR
- I looked inquiringly at the priest.
