‘Nothing of the sort,’ argued Gerald. They watched the
chimpanzees in the new apes’ house, and admired the gentle humanity of their
eyes—“so much more human than human beings”—and they watched the Agile
Gibbon in the next apartment doing wonderful leaps and aerial somersaults. The life of a girl presented itself to her as something happy and heedless and
unthinking, yet really guided and controlled by others, and going on amidst
unsuspected screens and concealments. Life is a patchwork of impressions, of vanishing personalities. “Let us sit down for a moment,” he had said. It is she that I must see. She watched
them sleep for what seemed hours from the high window
until her body grew colder than the stone sill she perched
upon. He was a
business man, pure and simple, his eyes were fastened always upon the practical
side of life. Why should you who are queens
come down from your thrones? If you can afford it, WE can’t. Play fair with her. For a stunned moment, Emile did not speak. Marthe has told me that the
house comes to my mother, Ma—ry Re—men—ham. If you know
her for the vicious, scheming wretch that she is, why in God’s name—?’
‘She’s not a vicious, scheming wretch,’ Gerald said calmly. She
had never fasted before as a vampire, and a horrible
twisting pain emerged in her gut, shaking her legs with
muscle cramps.
