“
I
don
’
t
know
how
she
does
it
,
unless
it
’
s
by
the
dead
weight
of
her
convictions
.
She
detests
the
French
so
that
she
’
d
back
up
Owen
even
if
she
knew
nothing
—
or
knew
too
much
—
of
Miss
Viner
.
She
somehow
regards
the
match
as
a
protest
against
the
corruption
of
European
morals
.
I
told
Owen
that
was
his
great
chance
,
and
he
’
s
made
the
most
of
it
.
”
“
What
a
tactician
you
are
!
You
make
me
feel
that
I
hardly
know
the
rudiments
of
diplomacy
,
”
Darrow
smiled
at
her
,
abandoning
himself
to
a
perilous
sense
of
well
-
being
.
She
gave
him
back
his
smile
.
“
I
’
m
afraid
I
think
nothing
short
of
my
own
happiness
is
worth
wasting
any
diplomacy
on
!
”
“
That
’
s
why
I
mean
to
resign
from
the
service
of
my
country
,
”
he
rejoined
with
a
laugh
of
deep
content
.
The
feeling
that
both
resistance
and
apprehension
were
vain
was
working
like
wine
in
his
veins
.
He
had
done
what
he
could
to
deflect
the
course
of
events
:
now
he
could
only
stand
aside
and
take
his
chance
of
safety
.
Underneath
this
fatalistic
feeling
was
the
deep
sense
of
relief
that
he
had
,
after
all
,
said
and
done
nothing
that
could
in
the
least
degree
affect
the
welfare
of
Sophy
Viner
.
That
fact
took
a
millstone
off
his
neck
.
Meanwhile
he
gave
himself
up
once
more
to
the
joy
of
Anna
’
s
presence
.
They
had
not
been
alone
together
for
two
long
days
,
and
he
had
the
lover
’
s
sense
that
he
had
forgotten
,
or
at
least
underestimated
,
the
strength
of
the
spell
she
cast
.
Once
more
her
eyes
and
her
smile
seemed
to
bound
his
world
.
He
felt
that
their
light
would
always
move
with
him
as
the
sunset
moves
before
a
ship
at
sea
.
The
next
day
his
sense
of
security
was
increased
by
a
decisive
incident
.
It
became
known
to
the
expectant
household
that
Madame
de
Chantelle
had
yielded
to
the
tremendous
impact
of
Miss
Painter
’
s
determination
and
that
Sophy
Viner
had
been
“
sent
for
”
to
the
purple
satin
sitting
-
room
.
At
luncheon
,
Owen
’
s
radiant
countenance
proclaimed
the
happy
sequel
,
and
Darrow
,
when
the
party
had
moved
back
to
the
oak
-
room
for
coffee
,
deemed
it
discreet
to
wander
out
alone
to
the
terrace
with
his
cigar
.
The
conclusion
of
Owen
’
s
romance
brought
his
own
plans
once
more
to
the
front
.
Anna
had
promised
that
she
would
consider
dates
and
settle
details
as
soon
as
Madame
de
Chantelle
and
her
grandson
had
been
reconciled
,
and
Darrow
was
eager
to
go
into
the
question
at
once
,
since
it
was
necessary
that
the
preparations
for
his
marriage
should
go
forward
as
rapidly
as
possible
.
Anna
,
he
knew
,
would
not
seek
any
farther
pretext
for
delay
;
and
he
strolled
up
and
down
contentedly
in
the
sunshine
,
certain
that
she
would
come
out
and
reassure
him
as
soon
as
the
reunited
family
had
claimed
its
due
share
of
her
attention
.
