If he had only made some advance she would have welcomed him so cordially, but she was too proud to go to him herself and beg him to forgive her  and then how could he forgive her? IF HE HAD ONLY MADE SOME ADVANCE SHE WOULD HAVE WELCOMED HIM SO CORDIALLY BUT SHE WAS TOO PROUD TO GO TO HIM HERSELF AND BEG HIM TO FORGIVE HER AND THEN HOW COULD HE FORGIVE HER
ed. 'I am a blimed fool.' He looked at her a little reproachfully, she thought, and then he said 'Good-bye,' and turned away. At first she was horrified that he should know of her love for Jim, but then she did not care. After all, it was nobody's business, and what did anything matter as long as she loved Jim and Jim loved her? Then she grew angry that Tom should suspect her; he could know nothing but that some of the men had seen her with Jim near Vauxhall, and it seemed mean that he should condemn her for that. Thenceforward, when she ran against Tom, she cut him; he never tried to speak to her, but as she passed him, pretending to look in front of her, she could see that he always blushed, and she fancied his eyes were very sorrowful. Then several weeks went by, and as she began to feel more and more lonely in the street she regretted the quarrel; she cried a little as she thought that she had lost his faithful gentle love and she would have much liked to be friends with him again.
