But on this matter my mind is quite made up. He’ll
never ask because I’m not in with those people, you
know? Well, I guess John Diedermayer might have some
connection, but, I certainly don’t. There is Shaw,
and Webb, and Wilkins the author, and Toomer, and Doctor Tumpany—the most
wonderful people! There you see them discussing, deciding, planning! Just think
—THEY ARE MAKING A NEW WORLD!”
“But ARE these people going to alter everything?” said Ann Veronica. "
"Take time to consider of it," replied Wood sulkily, "there's no hurry. “And what on earth,” he said, “do you think
the world is made of? Why do you think I have been doing things for you? The
abstract pleasure of goodness? Are you one of the members of that great white
sisterhood that takes and does not give? The good accepting woman! Do you
really suppose a girl is entitled to live at free quarters on any man she meets
without giving any return?”
“I thought,” said Ann Veronica, “you were my friend. Katy oozed money from every pore of her being. . Lucy finished Michelle off, leaving
only a dry, unrecognizable husk. They turned off at Glen Grove, a sleepy town of less
than two hundred. She was never able to
trace the changes her attitude had undergone, from the time when she believed
herself to be the pampered Queen of Fortune, the crown of a good man’s love
(and secretly, but nobly, worshipping some one else), to the time when she
realized she was in fact just a mannequin for her lover’s imagination, and that he
cared no more for the realities of her being, for the things she felt and desired,
for the passions and dreams that might move her, than a child cares for the
sawdust in its doll. That Frenchie, that’s who she is. The supreme effect for Ann Veronica was its surpassing
relevance; it made every other atmosphere she knew seem discursive and
confused. About them quickly. Destruction
everywhere marked its course.
