Meantime, as the doctor was splitting his breakfast orange, he heard a
commotion in his office, two rooms removed: volleys of pidgin English, one
voice in protest, the other dominant. The door crashed back against the wall inside and both men hurtled into the
room, weapons at the ready—and stopped dead. None of the things they said and did were altogether new to Ann Veronica, but
now she got them massed and alive, instead of by glimpses or in books—alive
and articulate and insistent. Do I, Bess, eh?"
"Nobody whatever, love," replied Edgeworth Bess; "nobody but me, dear. A medley of motives warred in her, and it
was certainly not one of the least of these that she knew herself to be
passionately in love with Capes; at moments she had a giddy intimation that he
was beginning to feel keenly interested in her. His energy began to slip away and she sank her teeth
into his fat carotid artery below the piano wire, which had
drawn blood from his neck. You foolish girl!”
Ann Veronica took that in silence. Ann Veronica’s experiences of
men had been among more stable types—Teddy, who was always absurd; her
father, who was always authoritative and sentimental; Manning, who was always
Manning. Without Jack, it was certain that she faced danger if
she went outside Golden Square.
