Some such consideration as the latter was doubtless in his mind for instance when he wrote pleasantly to Miss Bartram that perhaps the great thing he had so long felt as in the lap of the gods was no more than this circumstance, which touched him so nearly, of her acquiring a house in London. SOME SUCH CONSIDERATION AS THE LATTER WAS DOUBTLESS IN HIS MIND FOR INSTANCE WHEN HE WROTE PLEASANTLY TO MISS BARTRAM THAT PERHAPS THE GREAT THING HE HAD SO LONG FELT AS IN THE LAP OF THE GODS WAS NO MORE THAN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH TOUCHED HIM SO NEARLY OF HER ACQUIRING A HOUSE IN LONDON
made no allusion to that view of it; which was a sign he was handsomely alert to give that he didn't expect, that he in fact didn't care, always to be talking about it. Such a feature in one's outlook was really like a hump on one's back. The difference it made every minute of the day existed quite independently of discussion. One discussed of course _like_ a hunchback, for there was always, if nothing else, the hunchback face. That remained, and she was watching him; but people watched best, as a general thing, in silence, so that such would be predominantly the manner of their vigil. Yet he didn't want, at the same time, to be tense and solemn; tense and solemn was what he imagined he too much showed for with other people. The thing to be, with the one person who knew, was easy and natural--to make the reference rather than be seeming to avoid it, to avoid it rather than be seeming to make it, and to keep it, in any case, familiar, facetious even, rather than pedantic and portentous. HE SCATTERED HOURS SPENT TOGETHER MADE NO ALLUSION TO THAT VIEW OF IT WHICH WAS A SIGN HE WAS HANDSOMELY ALERT TO GIVE THAT HE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT HE IN FACT DIDN'T CARE ALWAYS TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT SUCH A FEATURE IN ONE'S OUTLOOK WAS REALLY LIKE A HUMP ON ONE'S BACK THE DIFFERENCE IT MADE EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY EXISTED QUITE INDEPENDENTLY OF DISCUSSION ONE DISGUST OF COURSE LIKE A HUNCHBACK FOR THERE WAS ALWAYS IF NOTHING ELSE THE HUNCHBACK FACE THAT REMAINED AND SHE WAS WATCHING HIM BUT PEOPLE WATCHED BEST AS A GENERAL THING IN SILENCE SO THAT SUCH WOULD BE PREDOMINANTLY THE MANNER OF THEIR VIGIL YET HE DIDN'T WANT AT THE SAME TIME TO BE TENSE AND SOLEMN TENSE AND SOLEMN WAS WHAT HE IMAGINED HE TOO MUCH SHOWED FOR WITH OTHER PEOPLE THE THING TO BE WITH THE ONE PERSON WHO KNEW WAS EASY AND NATURAL TO MAKE THE REFERENCE RATHER THAN BE SEEMING TO AVOID IT TO AVOID IT RATHER THAN BE SEEMING TO MAKE IT AND TO KEEP IT IN ANY CASE FAMILIAR FACETIOUS EVEN RATHER THAN PEDANTIC AND PORTENTOUS
