It was in this way that the dressmaker failed either to see or to hear the opening of the door of the room, which obeyed a slow, apparently1 cautious impulse given it from the hall, and revealed the figure of a young man standing2 there with a short pipe in his teeth. There was something in his face which immediately told Millicent Henning that he had heard, outside, her last resounding3 tones. He entered as if, young as he was, he knew that when women were squabbling men were not called upon to be headlong, and evidently wondered who the dressmaker’s brilliant adversary4 might be. She recognised on the instant her old playmate, and without reflection, confusion or diplomacy5, in the fullness of her vulgarity and sociability6, she exclaimed, in no lower pitch, “Gracious, Hyacinth Robinson, is that your form?”
Miss Pynsent turned round, in a flash, but kept silent; then, very white and trembling, took up her work again and seated herself in her window.
Hyacinth Robinson stood staring; then he blushed all over. He knew who she was, but he didn’t say so; he only asked, in a voice which struck the girl as quite different from the old one – the one in which he used to tell her she was beastly tiresome7 – “Is it of me you were speaking just now?”
“When I asked where you had come from? That was because we ’eard you in the ’all,” said Millicent, smiling. “I suppose you have come from your work.”
“You used to live in the Place – you always wanted to kiss me,” the young man remarked, with an effort not to show all the surprise and agitation8 that he felt. “Didn’t she live in the Place, Pinnie!”
