Here was the same Ruth who had left him a few minutes
since: the same outwardly; and yet…!
On the ninth day Spurlock was up and about; that is, he was strong enough to
walk alone, from the companion to his chair, to lean upon the rail when the chair
grew irksome, to join Ruth and his employer at lunch and dinner: strong enough
to argue about books, music, paintings. "
"Ay, but he will. ‘Do you think I could endure to hear you prattling your abominable
French in my ear day by day? Enough to drive me straight into my grave. ”
He stood up with his legs parted in an inverted “V”,
puffing up, trying to make himself look bigger. So he obeyed Everett and married Mary, and kept
the woman as his mistress. Through this confusion the carpenter struggled on;—now ascending, now
descending the different mountains of rubbish that beset his path, at the
imminent peril of his life and limbs, until he arrived in Fleet Street. Those awful chairs!"
After dinner the spinsters proceeded to inscribe their accustomed quota of
postcards, and Ruth was left to herself.
