text_4446_2275_000002_000009 | text | I felt it in my bones when I woke this morning that something splendid was going to turn up. |
text_4446_2275_000013_000001 | text | She looked about desperately from Bartley to the door, then to the windows, and back again to Bartley. |
text_4446_2275_000024_000000 | text | He dropped back heavily into his chair by the fire. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000004 | text | It's abominable of you to ask me. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000008 | text | If you come to me, I'll do as I see fit. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000002 | text | I must see you. |
text_4446_2275_000036_000000 | text | "You see, my mistake was in wanting you to have everything. |
text_4446_2275_000018_000000 | text | "It . . . it hasn't always made you miserable, has it?" Her eyelids fell and her lips quivered. |
text_4446_2275_000043_000004 | text | It's getting the better of me. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000005 | text | "You see, loving some one as I love you makes the whole world different. |
text_4446_2275_000004_000001 | text | You haven't spoken a word." |
text_4446_2275_000005_000000 | text | "I got in about ten minutes ago. |
text_4446_2275_000038_000006 | text | "You want to tell me that you can only see me like this, as old friends do, or out in the world among people? |
text_4446_2275_000002_000010 | text | I thought it might be Sister Kate or Cousin Mike would be happening along. |
text_4446_2275_000005_000001 | text | I landed at Liverpool this morning and came down on the boat train." |
text_4446_2275_000002_000005 | text | Alexander did not sit down. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000001 | text | I must have you to think of through the months and months of loneliness. |
text_4446_2275_000043_000000 | text | Alexander rose and shook himself angrily. |
text_4446_2275_000021_000005 | text | There is this deception between me and everything." |
text_4446_2275_000043_000002 | text | I don't trust myself any more. |
text_4446_2275_000016_000001 | text | He pulled up a window as if the air were heavy. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000008 | text | "Oh, what a grand thing to happen on a raw day! |
text_4446_2275_000044_000003 | text | You ask me to stay away from you because you want me! |
text_4446_2275_000033_000002 | text | At least, tell me that you believe I thought I was making you happy." |
text_4446_2275_000007_000000 | text | "There's something troubling you, Bartley. |
text_4446_2275_000008_000000 | text | Bartley bent lower over the fire. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000003 | text | The room was empty when he entered. |
text_4446_2275_000031_000002 | text | He moved uneasily and his chair creaked. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000009 | text | Do you understand? |
text_4446_2275_000006_000001 | text | Hilda watched him with perplexity. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000011 | text | I never dreamed it would be you, Bartley. |
text_4446_2275_000039_000000 | text | "I can't," he said heavily. |
text_4446_2275_000036_000001 | text | I wanted you to eat all the cakes and have them, too. |
text_4446_2275_000038_000007 | text | I can do that." |
text_4446_2275_000002_000012 | text | But why do you let me chatter on like this? |
text_4446_2275_000046_000003 | text | I must know about you. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000007 | text | She called his name on the threshold, but in her swift flight across the room she felt a change in him and caught herself up so deftly that he could not tell just when she did it. She merely brushed his cheek with her lips and put a hand lightly and joyously on either shoulder. |
text_4446_2275_000012_000000 | text | "Everything!" |
text_4446_2275_000019_000000 | text | "Always. |
text_4446_2275_000038_000005 | text | "You want me to say it?" she whispered. |
text_4446_2275_000044_000000 | text | Hilda held her face back from him and began to cry bitterly. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000006 | text | He stood his ground over by the windows until Hilda came in. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000005 | text | Keep away if you wish; when have I ever followed you? |
text_4446_2275_000021_000003 | text | I get nothing but misery out of either. |
text_4446_2275_000035_000000 | text | She leaned her head against his arm and spoke softly:-- |
text_4446_2275_000042_000006 | text | But, if you come to me, I'll do as I see fit. |
text_4446_2275_000016_000000 | text | He rose and pushed the chair behind him and began to walk miserably about the room, seeming to find it too small for him. |
text_4446_2275_000003_000000 | text | She pushed him toward the big chair by the fire, and sat down on a stool at the opposite side of the hearth, her knees drawn up to her chin, laughing like a happy little girl. |
text_4446_2275_000040_000000 | text | Hilda shivered and sat still. |
text_4446_2275_000023_000000 | text | "Could you-could you sit down and talk about it quietly, Bartley, as if I were a friend, and not some one who had to be defied?" |
text_4446_2275_000042_000007 | text | The shamefulness of your asking me to do that! |
text_4446_2275_000021_000000 | text | He ignored her question. |
text_4446_2275_000036_000003 | text | I wanted you always to be happy and handsome and successful-to have all the things that a great man ought to have, and, once in a way, the careless holidays that great men are not permitted." |
text_4446_2275_000044_000002 | text | Why didn't you let me be angry with you? |
text_4446_2275_000027_000001 | text | The first was-sort of in play, wasn't it?" |
text_4446_2275_000033_000000 | text | "Yes, yes," she hurried, pulling her hand gently away from him. Presently it stole back to his coat sleeve. |
text_4446_2275_000031_000001 | text | Something of their troubling sweetness came back to Alexander, too. |
text_4446_2275_000014_000001 | text | "I can't stand seeing you miserable." |
text_4446_2275_000001_000001 | text | The stop at Queenstown, the tedious passage up the Mersey, were things that he noted dimly through his growing impatience. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000003 | text | I won't promise. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000013 | text | Come over to the fire; you're chilled through." |
text_4446_2275_000021_000004 | text | The world is all there, just as it used to be, but I can't get at it any more. |
text_4446_2275_000048_000001 | text | "We've tortured each other enough for tonight. |
text_4446_2275_000029_000002 | text | We had only a few days, and your new play was just on, and you were so happy." |
text_4446_2275_000046_000004 | text | The sight of you, Bartley, to see you living and happy and successful-can I never make you understand what that means to me?" She pressed his shoulders gently. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000007 | text | Then came all those years without you, lonely and hurt and discouraged; those decent young fellows and poor Mac, and me never heeding-hard as a steel spring. |
text_4446_2275_000013_000000 | text | Hilda was pale by this time, and her eyes were wide with fright. |
text_4446_2275_000048_000000 | text | "Don't cry, don't cry," he whispered. |
text_4446_2275_000037_000000 | text | Bartley gave a bitter little laugh, and Hilda looked up and read in the deepening lines of his face that youth and Bartley would not much longer struggle together. |
text_4446_2275_000040_000001 | text | Bartley leaned his head in his hands and spoke through his teeth. |
text_4446_2275_000030_000000 | text | "Yes, I was happy, wasn't I?" She pressed his hand gently in gratitude. "Weren't you happy then, at all?" |
text_4446_2275_000042_000000 | text | "No!" she gasped. |
text_4446_2275_000045_000001 | text | Hilda sat on the arm of it and put her hands lightly on his shoulders. |
text_4446_2275_000011_000000 | text | He locked and unlocked his hands over the grate and spread his fingers close to the bluish flame, while the coals crackled and the clock ticked and a street vendor began to call under the window. |
text_4446_2275_000044_000004 | text | And I've got nobody but you. |
text_4446_2275_000041_000001 | text | She stood over him with her hands clenched at her side, her body rigid. |
text_4446_2275_000021_000002 | text | "Each life spoils the other. |
text_4446_2275_000038_000003 | text | You've only to tell me now. |
text_4446_2275_000006_000000 | text | Alexander leaned forward and warmed his hands before the blaze. |
text_4446_2275_000013_000002 | text | She rose uncertainly, touched his hair with her hand, then sank back upon her stool. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000008 | text | And then you came back, not caring very much, but it made no difference." |
text_4446_2275_000020_000000 | text | "But why NOW?" she asked piteously, wringing her hands. |
text_4446_2275_000043_000006 | text | I'm growing older, and you've got my young self here with you. |
text_4446_2275_000001_000000 | text | The last two days of the voyage Bartley found almost intolerable. |
text_4446_2275_000029_000001 | text | "I meant to, but somehow I couldn't. |
text_4446_2275_000044_000006 | text | I will ask the least imaginable, but I must have SOMETHING!" |
text_4446_2275_000044_000005 | text | I will do anything you say-but that! |
text_4446_2275_000048_000002 | text | Forget everything except that I am here." |
text_4446_2275_000014_000000 | text | "I'll do anything you wish me to, Bartley," she said tremulously. |
text_4446_2275_000027_000000 | text | "After the very first. |
text_4446_2275_000002_000000 | text | Emerging at Euston at half past three o'clock in the afternoon, Alexander had his luggage sent to the Savoy and drove at once to Bedford Square. |
text_4446_2275_000025_000000 | text | He looked at her and his haggard face softened. |
text_4446_2275_000042_000001 | text | "It's too late to ask that. |
text_4446_2275_000043_000003 | text | I carried it all lightly enough at first, but now I don't dare trifle with it. |
text_4446_2275_000046_000006 | text | If I'd met you later, if I hadn't loved you so well-but that's all over, long ago. |
text_4446_2275_000022_000001 | text | She bit her lip and looked down at her hands, which were clasped tightly in front of her. |
text_4446_2275_000038_000004 | text | What must I do that I've not done, or what must I not do?" She listened intently, but she heard nothing but the creaking of his chair. |
text_4446_2275_000028_000000 | text | Hilda's face quivered, but she whispered: "Yes, I think it must have been. |
text_4446_2275_000008_000002 | text | You and i" |
text_4446_2275_000047_000000 | text | She slid to the floor beside him, as if she were too tired to sit up any longer. |
