All through the love music of the second act, until the hunting horns of Mark break in upon the dream, Ann Veronica’s consciousness was flooded with the perception of a man close beside her, preparing some new thing to say to her, preparing, perhaps, to touch her, stretching hungry invisible tentacles about her. The same look she had often seen in the eyes of the drunken beachcombers her father had brought home, and it had not filled her with horror. What marriage really meant (aside from the idea of escape), Ruth had not the least conception, no more than a child. The account of the discovery of Sir Rowland's murder filled Winifred with alarm; but when she learnt what had befallen Thames—how he had been stricken down by the thief-taker's bludgeon, and left for dead, she uttered a piercing scream, fainted, and would have fallen, if Jack had not caught her in his arms. At last, he got into a lane, but had not proceeded far when he was again alarmed by the sound of a horse's tread. “You must come home to him at once,” said Miss Stanley. I’d take it— forgive me if I seem a little urgent—as a sort of proof of friendliness.

I was very near spelling my name with one P.
