were on and Michelle’s mother was up, occasionally
pacing as Michelle and Lucy had been gone for over two
hours. “I’m damned if I’ll believe it,” he muttered to himself savagely. She went down, flushed and light-hearted, to the Widgetts’
after lunch to make some final arrangements and then, as soon as her aunt had
retired to lie down for her usual digestive hour, took the risk of the servants
having the enterprise to report her proceedings and carried her bag and hold-all
to the garden gate, whence Teddy, in a state of ecstatic service, bore them to the
railway station. Satisfied with his scrutiny, he
produced a pocket-flask, and taking off the silver cup with which it was
mounted, filled it with the contents of the flask, and then seizing the thin arm of
the sleeper, rudely shook it. Lucy propped Michelle against a thick, knobby tree
stump. She was no longer a confederate in that. Michelle walked towards the sloping Victorian stairs. She was dressed in a little white frock,
with a very long body, and very short sleeves, which looked (from a certain
fullness about the hips,) as if it was intended to be worn with a hoop.
