He
caught
sight
of
her
in
the
mirror
,
turned
round
and
without
a
word
,
twitched
the
sheet
over
her
.
Though
she
smiled
at
him
affectionately
,
it
gave
her
quite
a
turn
.
Was
he
afraid
that
she
would
catch
cold
or
was
it
that
his
English
modesty
was
shocked
at
her
nakedness
?
Or
could
it
be
that
,
his
boyish
lust
satisfied
,
he
was
a
trifle
disgusted
at
the
sight
of
her
ageing
body
?
When
she
got
home
she
again
took
all
her
clothes
off
and
examined
herself
in
the
looking
-
glass
.
She
determined
not
to
spare
herself
.
She
looked
at
her
neck
,
there
was
no
sign
of
age
there
,
especially
when
she
held
her
chin
up
;
and
her
breasts
were
small
and
firm
;
they
might
have
been
a
girl
’
s
.
Her
belly
was
flat
,
her
hips
were
small
,
there
was
a
very
small
roll
of
fat
there
,
like
a
long
sausage
,
but
everyone
had
that
,
and
anyhow
Miss
Phillips
could
have
a
go
at
it
.
No
one
could
say
that
her
legs
weren
’
t
good
,
they
were
long
and
slim
and
comely
;
she
passed
her
hands
over
her
body
,
her
skin
was
as
soft
as
velvet
and
there
wasn
’
t
a
blemish
on
it
.
Of
course
there
were
a
few
wrinkles
under
her
eyes
,
but
you
had
to
peer
to
see
them
;
they
said
there
was
an
operation
now
by
which
you
could
get
rid
of
them
,
it
might
be
worth
while
to
inquire
into
that
;
it
was
lucky
that
her
hair
had
retained
its
colour
;
however
well
hair
was
dyed
,
to
dye
hardened
the
face
;
hers
remained
a
rich
,
deep
brown
.
Her
teeth
were
all
right
too
.
"
Prudishness
,
that
’
s
all
it
was
.
"
She
had
a
moment
’
s
recollection
of
the
Spaniard
with
the
beard
in
the
wagon
-
lit
and
she
smiled
roguishly
at
herself
in
the
glass
.
"
No
damned
modesty
about
him
.
"
But
all
the
same
from
that
day
on
she
took
care
to
act
up
to
Tom
’
s
standards
of
decency
.
Julia
’
s
reputation
was
so
good
that
she
felt
she
need
not
hesitate
to
show
herself
with
Tom
in
public
places
.
It
was
a
new
experience
for
her
to
go
to
night
clubs
,
she
enjoyed
it
,
and
though
no
one
could
have
been
better
aware
than
she
that
she
could
go
nowhere
without
being
stared
at
,
it
never
entered
her
head
that
such
a
change
in
her
habits
must
excite
comment
.
With
twenty
years
of
fidelity
behind
her
,
for
of
course
she
did
not
count
the
Spaniard
,
an
accident
that
might
happen
to
any
woman
,
Julia
was
confident
that
no
one
would
imagine
for
a
moment
that
she
was
having
an
affair
with
a
boy
young
enough
to
be
her
son
.
It
never
occurred
to
her
that
perhaps
Tom
was
not
always
so
discreet
as
he
might
have
been
.
It
never
occurred
to
her
that
the
look
in
her
eyes
when
they
danced
together
betrayed
her
.
She
looked
upon
her
position
as
so
privileged
that
it
never
occurred
to
her
that
people
at
last
were
beginning
to
gossip
.
When
this
gossip
reached
the
ears
of
Dolly
de
Vries
she
laughed
.
At
Julia
’
s
request
she
had
invited
Tom
to
parties
and
once
or
twice
had
him
down
for
a
week
-
end
in
the
country
,
but
she
had
never
paid
any
attention
to
him
.
He
seemed
a
nice
little
thing
,
a
useful
escort
for
Julia
when
Michael
was
busy
,
but
perfectly
insignificant
.
He
was
one
of
those
persons
who
everywhere
pass
unnoticed
,
and
even
after
you
had
met
him
you
could
not
remember
what
he
was
like
.
He
was
the
extra
man
you
invited
to
dinner
to
make
an
odd
number
even
.
Julia
talked
of
him
gaily
as
"
me
boy
friend
"
or
as
"
my
young
man
"
;
she
could
hardly
have
been
so
cool
about
it
,
so
open
,
if
there
were
anything
in
it
.
Besides
,
Dolly
knew
very
well
that
the
only
two
men
there
had
ever
been
in
Julia
’
s
life
were
Michael
and
Charles
Tamerley
.
But
it
was
funny
of
Julia
,
after
taking
so
much
care
of
herself
for
years
,
suddenly
to
start
going
to
night
clubs
three
or
four
times
a
week
.
Dolly
had
seen
little
of
her
of
late
and
indeed
had
been
somewhat
piqued
by
her
neglect
.
She
had
many
friends
in
theatrical
circles
and
she
began
to
make
inquiries
.
She
did
not
at
all
like
what
she
heard
.
She
did
not
know
what
to
think
.
One
thing
was
evident
,
Julia
couldn
’
t
know
what
was
being
said
about
her
,
and
someone
must
tell
her
.
Not
she
;
she
hadn
’
t
the
courage
.
Even
after
all
these
years
she
was
a
little
frightened
of
Julia
.
Julia
was
a
very
good
-
tempered
woman
,
and
though
her
language
was
often
brusque
it
was
hard
to
ruffle
her
;
but
there
was
something
about
her
that
prevented
you
from
taking
liberties
with
her
;
you
had
a
feeling
that
if
once
you
went
too
far
you
would
regret
it
.
But
something
must
be
done
.
Dolly
turned
the
matter
over
in
her
mind
for
a
fortnight
,
anxiously
;
she
tried
to
put
her
own
wounded
feelings
aside
and
look
at
it
only
from
the
point
of
view
of
Julia
’
s
career
,
and
at
last
she
came
to
the
conclusion
that
Michael
must
speak
to
her
.
She
had
never
liked
Michael
,
but
after
all
he
was
Julia
’
s
husband
and
it
was
her
duty
to
tell
him
at
least
enough
to
make
him
put
a
stop
to
whatever
was
going
on
.
She
rang
Michael
up
and
made
an
appointment
with
him
at
the
theatre
.
Michael
liked
Dolly
as
little
as
she
liked
him
,
though
for
other
reasons
,
and
when
he
heard
that
she
wanted
to
see
him
he
swore
.
He
was
annoyed
that
he
had
never
been
able
to
induce
her
to
sell
out
her
shares
in
the
management
,
and
he
resented
whatever
suggestions
she
made
as
an
unwarrantable
interference
.
But
when
she
was
shown
into
his
office
he
greeted
her
with
cordiality
.
He
kissed
her
on
both
cheeks
.
