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. It plucked shingles from the school building,
threatening to shake them all loose one by one like rotting
teeth. Presently she became aware of footsteps hurrying after her, and glanced back
to find Miss Klegg, a little out of breath, in pursuit. Like most officers, he’d had it
especially made, for a man who loved danger had need of a precision instrument
of defence. It’s—it’s a serious prohibition. She had tried
to shift the subject of conversation away from herself and
was even managing successfully until Chen the father
addressed her. She is a woman chosen
in youth for her beauty and her intelligence. Above all, beware of Sir
Rowland Trenchard. Gerald had himself told
her that this Prudence will present her to society as Melusine Charvill.
