She was dressed in black; and at once his uplifting exultation2 was replaced by an awed3 and quivering patience before her white face, before the immobility of her reposeful4 pose, the more amazing to him who had encountered the strength of her limbs and the indomitable spirit in her body. She had come out after Heyst’s departure, and had sat down under the portrait to wait for the return of the man of violence and death. While lifting the curtain, she felt the anguish5 of her disobedience to her lover, which was soothed7 by a feeling she had known before — a gentle flood of penetrating8 sweetness. She was not automatically obeying a momentary9 suggestion, she was under influences more deliberate, more vague, and of greater potency10. She had been prompted, not by her will, but by a force that was outside of her and more worthy11. She reckoned upon nothing definite; she had calculated nothing. She saw only her purpose of capturing death — savage12, sudden, irresponsible death, prowling round the man who possessed13 her, death embodied14
