I had faced her again just in time to take it, and I immediately made up my mind how best to do so. “Then I go utterly2 to pieces!”
“You shouldn’t have perched yourself,” she laughed — she could by this time almost coarsely laugh — “in such a preposterous3 place!”
“Ah, that’s my affair,” I returned, “and if I accept the consequences I don’t quite see what you’ve to say to it. That I do accept them — so far as I make them out as not too intolerable and you as not intending them to be — that I do accept them is what I’ve been trying to signify to you. Only my fall,” I added, “is an inevitable4 shock. You remarked to me a few minutes since that you didn’t recover yourself in a flash. I differ from you, you see, in that I do; I take my collapse5 all at once. Here then I am. I’m smashed. I don’t see, as I look about me, a piece I can pick up. I don’t attempt to account for my going wrong; I don’t attempt to account for yours with me; I don’t attempt to account for anything. If Long is just what he always was it settles the matter, and the special clincher for us can be but your honest final impression, made precisely6 more aware of itself by repentance7 for the levity8 with which you had originally yielded to my contagion9.”
She didn’t insist on her repentance; she was too taken up with the facts themselves. “Oh, but add to my impression everyone else’s impression! Has anyone noticed anything?”
“Ah, I don’t know what anyone has noticed. I haven’t,” I brooded, “ventured — as you know — to ask anyone.”
“Well, if you had you’d have seen — seen, I mean, all they don’t see. If they had been conscious they’d have talked.”
