Rowland felt himself sinking beneath the powerful grasp of his enemy. He had already spoken his mind on the folly of allowing a clearly dangerous female to escape a second time. He hated travelling second-class with her—indeed, he never did—but he also disliked travelling in the same train when his daughter was in an inferior class, because of the look of the thing. Had he come to see her to find if she needed something? No. Just as he completed this operation, the file broke. If I had been quite quiet and white and dignified, wouldn’t it have been different? Would he have dared?. The girl was flushed with excitement, bright-eyed, and braced for a struggle; her aunt had never seen her looking so fine or so pretty. Most of them didn’t, anyhow. I had consecrated my life to His Work; and I took the primrose path. A beachcomber in embryo, and she had lent a hand through habit as much as through pity. After all, she found herself reflecting, behind her aunt’s complacent visage there was a past as lurid as any one’s—not, of course, her aunt’s own personal past, which was apparently just that curate and almost incredibly jejune, but an ancestral past with all sorts of scandalous things in it: fire and slaughterings, exogamy, marriage by capture, corroborees, cannibalism! Ancestresses with perhaps dim anticipatory likenesses to her aunt, their hair less neatly done, no doubt, their manners and gestures as yet undisciplined, but still ancestresses in the direct line, must have danced through a brief and stirring life in the woady buff. ‘That is what she wants, is it?’ ‘Do you blame her?’ he said stiffly. This is the first act. He murmured his delight, and joined the bridge party, where he played with less than his accustomed skill. Michelle winked at her and left to join the gathering of seats in the center of the theater.
