The day was warm even under an overcast sky and Hilary, uncomfortable, shifted his weight. He looked exactly as she had dreamed him, handsome, rigidly dressed in a black suit, his hair still half gray, his eyes green and flashing like a cat’s. Lucilla shoved Roding out of the way so that she could take hold of Melusine’s hands again. She had time in the afternoons to do crewelwork and embroidery, no longer occupied by the constant spinning of wool. Only I do not care to write about anything else. There was a very substantial profit in the transaction, for he paid the natives in commodities—coloured cotton cloths, pipes and tobacco, guns and ammunition, household utensils, cutlery and glass gewgaws. Quilt, who was an ardent lover of mischief, could not help laughing most heartily at the rueful appearance of these personages. "I haven't offended you?"—not contritely but curiously. That was one of the compensations for having consigned himself to this part of the world. Gone were the old days where an old maid banged on an upright piano above a roaring crowd, this sound was loud enough to be heard outside the building, she thought to herself as her eardrums throbbed. She has already forgotten it. Natives brought him an equal amount from the neighbouring islands. When he comes he will do that raid of the pantechnicons the justice it deserves; he will picture the orderly evening scene about the Imperial Legislature in convincing detail, the coming and going of cabs and motor-cabs and broughams through the chill, damp evening into New Palace Yard, the reinforced but untroubled and unsuspecting police about the entries of those great buildings whose square and panelled Victorian Gothic streams up from the glare of the lamps into the murkiness of the night; Big Ben shining overhead, an unassailable beacon, and the incidental traffic of Westminster, cabs, carts, and glowing omnibuses going to and from the bridge.
