With no clear plan as to his dinner he took her back to Alexandra Grove1. The dusk was far advanced. Mounting the steps quickly Marguerite rang the bell. There was no answer. She pushed up the flap of the letter-aperture and looked within.
"Have you got your latchkey?" she asked, turning round on George. "Father's not come home—his hat's not hanging up. He promised me certain that he would be here at six-thirty at the latest. Otherwise I should have taken the big key."
She did not show resentment2 against her father; nor was there impatience3 in her voice. But she seemed to be firmly and impassively judging her father, as his equal, possibly even as somewhat his superior. And George admired the force of her individuality. It flattered him that a being so independent and so strong should have been so meltingly responsive to him in the cathedral.
An adventurous4 idea occurred to him in a flash and he impulsively5 adopted it. His latchkey was in his pocket, but if the house door was once opened he would lose her—he would have to go forth6 and seek his dinner and she would remain in the house; whereas, barred out of the house, she would be bound to him—they would be thrust together into exquisite7 contingencies8, into all the deep potentialities of dark London.
"Dash it!" he said, first fumbling9 in one waistcoat pocket, and then ledging the portfolio10 against a step and fumbling in both waistcoat pockets
