Jane was a smoldering auburn-haired Irish beauty
who seldom spoke to anyone. Her eyebrows, pulled down by the stress
of thought, now resumed their normal arches; and pleased with her discovery,
she smiled. But it annoyed
Ann Veronica. Age is set,
impervious to innovations. "Be still!"
"Oh, come along! I've just got to have my muck bath. ’
So saying, she threw a meaning look over her shoulder at Lucilla, much to
Gerald’s approval. ”
“And he accepted meekly?”
“Practically. But he was wide awake. And because he knew it was a burden, there was no gaiety upon the doctor's
face; neither was there speech on his tongue. Ann Veronica wiped a scalpel, put a card over a watch-glass
containing thin shreds of embryonic guinea-pig swimming in mauve stain, and
dismantled her microscope. 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. Poor little one. The doctor had sown a seed,
carelessly. She was keenly resolved to do well in the school examination, and not to be
drowned in the seas of emotion that threatened to submerge her intellectual
being. It seemed to her that her father was in some inexplicable
way meaner-looking than she had supposed, and yet also, as unaccountably,
appealing.
