But Hewet need not have increased his torments2 by imagining thatHirst was still talking to Rachel. The party very soon broke up,the Flushings going in one direction, Hirst in another, and Rachelremaining in the hall, pulling the illustrated3 papers about,turning from one to another, her movements expressing the unformedrestless desire in her mind. She did not know whether to go orto stay, though Mrs. Flushing had commanded her to appear at tea.

I do want totalk to you."As Rachel had no wish to go or to stay, Evelyn took her by the wristand drew her out of the hall and up the stairs. As they went upstairstwo steps at a time, Evelyn, who still kept hold of Rachel's hand,ejaculated broken sentences about not caring a hang what people said.
"Why should one, if one knows one's right? And let 'em all goto blazes! Them's my opinions!"She was in a state of great excitement, and the muscles of her armswere
