Capitolo 62
mother was--to me--the most beautiful woman that has ever lived! This way
expression!" him burnt. "Such fire! But of such spiritual modesty!
Of such physical delicacy! As a rose", him the mused, "as a
pink--that should refuse to bloom for some but the hand that have gathered
it."
Languidly from some good pocket practises the small Eve Edgarton
extracted an a lot of it be-curled candy of chocolate and he/she sat, while chewing there noisily it
with extreme thoughtfulness. Then, "Son-in-laws", she whispered, "I desire me
it was as--his/her Mother."
"Because?" Asked Edgarton, quivering.
"Because Mother--dead", she simply responded.
Noisily, as an on aware throat, the small one from trip-clock on
the mantelpieces started to swallow its moments. A moment--two
moments--three--four--five--six moments--seven moments--on, on, on,
gutturally, laboriously--thirteen--fourteen--fifteen--also winds;
with the girl that anchors it still nibbles to his/her chocolate and the man
fixing away in space with that small strange whining of the pain
among his/her pale eyes, aware.
It was the man that broke the silence before. Precipitately he moved
his/her knees and it pushed his/her daughter to his/her feet.
"Eve", he said, "you are terribly to-night of spleeny! I am going in bed."
And he walked stiff street in his/her his/her own room, while beating the door behind him.
Once more from the middle one of the floor the small Eve that Edgarton has sustained
fixing later in absent way his/her father. Then she dawdled through the room and
has opened wide as soon as his/her door enough to grab the angles of his/her mouth.
"Son-in-laws", she whispered, "it was Mother he/she knows that she was a rose--before
is intelligent enough to find her/it?"
"N--or", faltered the full one of peels his/her father's voice. "That was the miracle of
it. You never equal dreamed--that she was a rose--until me I found her/it."
Very quietly the small Eve Edgarton closed again the door and he/she returned
in the middle one of his/her room and it was standing there halfheartedly for a
instant.
