He
smiled
.
"
Is
that
your
humour
?
"
and
he
took
me
by
the
arm
--
"
Then
there
could
be
no
better
opportunity
for
showing
you
this
pretty
little
corner
of
the
world
;
"
--
and
walking
on
a
few
yards
,
he
dexterously
turned
me
down
a
narrow
path
,
leading
from
the
lane
,
and
brought
me
face
to
face
with
a
lovely
old
cottage
,
almost
buried
in
the
green
of
the
young
spring
verdure
,
and
surrounded
by
an
open
fence
overgrown
with
hawthorn
and
sweet-briar
--
"
Keep
firm
hold
over
your
temper
Geoffrey
--
and
maintain
the
benignant
tranquillity
of
your
mind
!
--
here
dwells
the
woman
whose
name
and
fame
you
hate
--
Mavis
Clare
!
"
The
blood
rushed
to
my
face
,
and
I
stopped
abruptly
.
"
Let
us
go
back
,
"
I
said
.
"
Why
?
"
"
Because
I
do
not
know
Miss
Clare
and
do
not
want
to
know
her
.
Literary
women
are
my
abhorrence
--
they
are
always
more
or
less
unsexed
.
"
"
You
are
thinking
of
the
'
New
'
women
I
suppose
--
but
you
flatter
them
--
they
never
had
any
sex
to
lose
.
The
self-degrading
creatures
who
delineate
their
fictional
heroines
as
wallowing
in
unchastity
,
and
who
write
freely
on
subjects
which
men
would
hesitate
to
name
,
are
unnatural
hybrids
of
no-sex
.
Mavis
Clare
is
not
one
of
them
--
she
is
an
'
old-fashioned
'
young
woman
.
Mademoiselle
Derino
,
the
dancer
,
is
'
unsexed
,
'
but
you
did
not
object
to
her
on
that
score
--
on
the
contrary
I
believe
you
have
shown
your
appreciation
of
her
talents
by
spending
a
considerable
amount
of
cash
upon
her
.
"
"
That
's
not
a
fair
comparison
"
--
I
answered
hotly
--
"
Mademoiselle
Derino
amused
me
for
a
time
.
"
"
And
was
not
your
rival
in
art
!
"
said
Lucio
with
a
little
malicious
smile
--
"
I
see
!
Still
--
as
far
as
the
question
of
being
'
unsexed
'
goes
,
I
,
personally
,
consider
that
a
woman
who
shows
the
power
of
her
intellect
is
more
to
be
respected
than
the
woman
who
shows
the
power
of
her
legs
.
But
men
always
prefer
the
legs
--
just
as
they
prefer
the
devil
to
the
Deity
.
All
the
same
,
I
think
,
as
we
have
time
to
spare
,
we
may
as
well
see
this
genius
.
"
"
Genius
!
"
I
echoed
contemptuously
.
