EPOCH THE SECOND, 1715. He took Diane out. ’
Grasping the lantern, and heedless now of the discomforts of the passage,
Melusine flew like the wind back towards the library, the vision of Jack
Kimble’s white face driving her on. And then at the street corner she came face to
face with Nigel Ennison. She would never
look squarely at these dream forms that mocked the social order in which she
lived, never admit she listened to the soft whisperings in her ear. The
fire—if there was any in him—never made headway against this insistant
demand to know the significance of these manifold inward agitations. Then
one old crone, short-sighted and shaky-handed, called Ann Veronica “dearie,”
and made some remark, obscure and slangy, of which the spirit rather than the
words penetrated to her understanding. Washed in light
from the vestry window, she held her ground, all thought at bay, bar the steel
determination long ago instilled in her by her unconventional tutor. He came in apologetically; all the old “Well, and how ARE we?”
note gone; and once he asked Ann Veronica, almost furtively,
“How’s Alice getting on, Vee?” Finally, on the Day, he appeared like his old
professional self transfigured, in the most beautiful light gray trousers Ann
Veronica had ever seen and a new shiny silk hat with a most becoming roll.
