He was unusually absurd and ready, and all the time it seemed to Ann Veronica as a delightful possibility, as a thing not indeed to be entertained seriously, but to be half furtively felt, that he was being so agreeable because she had come back again. Her cheeks were the colour of chalk, her eyes were filled with terror. Straitened circumstances would not have mattered; a mother would have managed somehow. I couldn’t help the thought.
