She remained in London May and June. Of course it was deadly dull, but people came to dine with her; she could dine with her very intimate friends; and men were in and out all day long from the Commons and the club and the guard-rooms; and she made a lovely picture in her floating crape garments, cut a little low round the throat en bébé, to show its white and slender beauty. Everyone felt bound to do their best to console her, and the task was a pleasant one even to her own sex, for her house, in a subdued1 discreet2 manner, was always full of agreeable persons, and softly buzzing with the latest news.
When she drove in the park with her whole equipage turned into mourning, she had one or other of her golden-haired children always with her, and the spectacle was one which especially touched the policemen at the crossings, the old apple-women at the corners, the workingmen eating their bread and cheese on the benches, and all that good-natured, credulous3, purblind4 throng5 which creates popular opinion.
“Our public men don’t make up enough,” she thought, seeing the effect which she had on the multitude. “Napoleon’s white horse and Boulanger’s black one did half their business for them. The public should always be governed through its eyes and its appetites; our leaders of it appeal to its mind—a non-existent entity7.”
Black was very becoming to her. It is the surest of consolations8 to have a dazzlingly fair skin which crape adorns9. Still death in the house is always tiresome10; there are so many pleasant things which we cannot do. On the whole she thought it would have been better if Cocky had lived some little time longer.
