probing into things? I’ve often thought of that talk of ours—often. Her aunt was blandly amiable above a certain tremulous
undertow, and talked as if to a caller about the alarming spread of marigolds that
summer at the end of the garden, a sort of Yellow Peril to all the smaller hardy
annuals, while her father brought some papers to table and presented himself as
preoccupied with them. It is as if my lips had been sealed about them. Wanton!… This, then,

glad I did. He seldom spoke,
and drank with a persistence that was sinister. ’
