Gerald’s voice came back to her, saying that she
could not hope to outwit “a man who means business”. None of the things they said and did were altogether new to Ann Veronica, but
now she got them massed and alive, instead of by glimpses or in books—alive
and articulate and insistent. Playing with one hand he turned on his
stool to glance at her. He has had brain fever since, and, as you say, I am more like what you were then
than you yourself are now. ’
It had not before occurred to him, but this realisation fuelled the general’s
growing conviction that he was being imposed upon in some way. He had a blue
overstuffed couch, his own television, even a computer
with its own desk. "Yesh," replied Abraham. \"Lucy?\" He called her as she turned. “Do you mean, aunt,” she asked, “that my father thought I had gone off—with
some man?”
“What else COULD he think? Would any one DREAM you would be so mad
as to go off alone?”
“After—after what had happened the night before?”
“Oh, why raise up old scores? If you could see him this morning, his poor face
as white as a sheet and all cut about with shaving! He was for coming up by the
very first train and looking for you, but I said to him, ‘Wait for the letters,’ and
there, sure enough, was yours. She did not understand the note of hostility to men that
ran through it all, the bitter vindictiveness that lit Miss Miniver’s cheeks and
eyes, the sense of some at last insupportable wrong slowly accumulated. ’
‘Quite right, Gerald,’ approved Lucilla. ’
The lady opened her eyes very wide indeed. .
