On Sunday Clifford wanted to go into the wood. It was a lovely morning, the pear-blossom and plum had suddenly appeared in the world in a wonder of white here and there.
It was cruel for Clifford, while the world bloomed, to have to be helped from chair to bath-chair. But he had forgotten, and even seemed to have a certain
conceit2 of himself in his
lameness3. Connie still suffered, having to lift his
inert4 legs into place. Mrs Bolton did it now, or Field.
She waited for him at the top of the drive, at the edge of the screen of
beeches5. His chair came
puffing6 along with a sort of
valetudinarian7 slow importance. As he joined his wife he said:
`Sir Clifford on his roaming steed!'
`Snorting, at least!' she laughed.
He stopped and looked round at the
facade8 of the long, low old brown house.
`Wragby doesn't
wink9 an
eyelid10!' he said. `But then why should it! I ride upon the achievements of the mind of man, and that beats a horse.'
`I suppose it does. And the souls in Plato riding up to heaven in a two-horse chariot would go in a
Ford1 car now,' she said.
`Or a Rolls-Royce: Plato was an
aristocrat11!'
`Quite! No more black horse to thrash and maltreat. Plato never thought we'd go one better than his black steed and his white steed, and have no steeds at all, only an engine!'
`Only an engine and gas!' said Clifford.
