And that was the man that almost she had loved! thought Margaret, as she gazed on the whirl of dust left by their carriage wheels. AND THAT WAS THE MAN THAT ALMOST SHE HAD LOVED THOUGHT MARGARET AS SHE GAZED ON THE WHIRL OF DUST LEFT BY THEIR CARRIAGE WHEELS
-carish flippancy; and Kathleen had by this an inkling as to how matters stood between Margaret and Billy, and was somewhat puzzled thereat, and loved the former in consequence no more than any Christian female is compelled to love the woman who, either unconsciously or with deliberation, purloins her ancient lover. A woman rarely forgives the man who has ceased to care for her; and rarelier still can she pardon the woman who has dared succeed her in his affections. And besides, they were utterly engrossed with one another, and utterly happy, and utterly selfish with the immemorial selfishness of lovers, who cannot for a moment conceive that the whole world is not somehow benefited by their happiness and does not await with breathless interest the outcome of their bickerings with the blind bow-god, and from this providential delusion derive a meritorious and comfortable glow. So Mrs. Saumarez and Mr. Kennaston parted from Margaret with kindness, it is true, but not without awkwardness.  DEVIL MAY CARRIAGE FLIPPANCY AND KATHLEEN HAD BY THIS AN INKLING AS TO HOW MATTERS STOOD BETWEEN MARGARET AND BILLY AND WAS SOMEWHAT PUZZLED THEREAT AND LOVED THE FORMER IN CONSEQUENCE NO MORE THAN ANY CHRISTIAN FEMALE IS COMPELLED TO LOVE THE WOMAN WHO EITHER UNCONSCIOUSLY OR WITH DELIBERATION PURLOINS HER ANCIENT LOVER A WOMAN RARELY FORGIVES THE MAN WHO HAS CEASED TO CARE FOR HER AND RARELIER STILL CAN SHE PARDON THE WOMAN WHO HAS DARED SUCCEED HER IN HIS AFFECTIONS AND BESIDES THEY WERE UTTERLY ENGROSSED WITH ONE ANOTHER AND UTTERLY HAPPY AND UTTERLY SELFISH WITH THE IMMEMORIAL SELFISHNESS OF LOVERS WHO CANNOT FOR A MOMENT CONCEIVE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOT SOMEHOW BENEFITED BY THEIR HAPPINESS AND DOES NOT AWAIT WITH BREATHLESS INTEREST THE OUTCOME OF THEIR BICKERINGS WITH THE BLIND BEAUGOD AND FROM THIS PROVIDENTIAL DELUSION DERIVE A MERITORIOUS AND COMFORTABLE GLOW SO MISSUS SOMMEREZ AND MISTER CANNASTON PARTED FROM MARGARET WITH KINDNESS IT IS TRUE BUT NOT WITHOUT AWKWARDNESS
