Nigel Ennison was my very good friend, but there is not the
slightest reason for your not marrying him, if you wish to do so. Words were given with their original
meaning, without their ramifications. One called her very distinctly “My dear!”
Two secretarial posts did indeed seem to offer themselves in which, at least,
there was no specific exclusion of womanhood; one was under a Radical
Member of Parliament, and the other under a Harley Street doctor, and both men
declined her proffered services with the utmost civility and admiration and
terror. “Now I see what everything means,” said Ann Veronica to herself; and it
really felt for some days as though the secret of the universe, that had been
wrapped and hidden from her so obstinately, was at last altogether displayed. It had a
tiny flaw, most bizarre. It was a neat, efficient-looking room,
with a writing-table placed with a business-like regard to the window, and a
bookcase surmounted by a pig’s skull, a dissected frog in a sealed bottle, and a
pile of shiny, black-covered note-books. His chest heaved violently, and big tears coursed
rapidly down his cheeks. You foolish girl!”
Ann Veronica took that in silence. And, incidentally, check on that unfortunate young
fellow Kimble. Escape was now impossible.
