She had never expected John capable of saying such things, of thinking such macabre ideas. He was the social order; he was law and wisdom. If ever she felt fatigue in these long tramps which had already taken her half over London, she never admitted it. His manner, however, was as stern and haughty as ever, and his glances retained their accustomed fire. ‘Mademoiselle,’ he had greeted her, entering the little private parlour where, Martha being at prayer in their room, she sat alone, reading over and over the letter Mother Abbess had given her and revolving plans in her head. Women, she had been taught, who exposed the flesh of their bodies under the eyes of man were in a special catagory of the damned. Grace à Leonardo, she could defend herself now! Gosse was still attempting to manhandle the door, when she turned the key and wrenched it open. "Come to my arms, Thames! Oh! dear! Oh! dear!"
