Mademoiselle, who had been nodding in agreement at Roding during the first
part of this speech, abruptly turned to face Gerald again. And Ann Veronica walked
beside him, trying in vain to soften her heart to him by the thought of how she
had ill-used him, and all the time, as her feet and mind grew weary together,
rejoicing more and more that at the cost of this one interminable walk she
escaped the prospect of—what was it?—“Ten thousand days, ten thousand
nights” in his company. I am sorry that I do not know any one in London. She had left for ever the cage, the galling leash: she was free. She asked
the inevitable question, the one she knew Michelle was
waiting to field like a quarterback anticipating the pass. There were mysterious rustlings that made him glance hopefully toward the sea. What else was there lurked in
shadows and deep places; if in some mood of reverie it came out into the light, it
was presently overwhelmed and hustled back again into hiding.
