Margaret nodded sagely. She knew. "Now you," Mr. Kennaston was pleased to say, "are infinitely more beautiful, younger, more clever, and in every way more attractive than Kathleen. I recognise these things clearly, but it does not appear, somehow, to alter the fact that I am in love with her. MARGARET NODDED SAGELY SHE KNEW NOW YOU MISTER CONNASTON WAS PLEASED TO SAY ARE INFINITELY MORE BEAUTIFUL YOUNGER MORE CLEVER AND IN EVERY WAY MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN KATHLEEN I RECOGNIZE THESE THINGS CLEARLY BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR SOMEHOW TO ALTER THE FACT THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH HER
on--that induced me to make love to you. I acted on the impulse of the moment; just for an instant, the novelty of doing a perfectly sensible thing--and marrying money is universally conceded to come under that head--appealed to me. So I did it. But all the time I was in love with Kathleen Saumarez. Why, the moment I left you, I began to realise that not even you--and you are quite the most fascinating and generally adorable woman I ever knew, Margaret--I began to realise, I say, that not even you could ever make me forget that fact. And I was very properly miserable. It is extremely queer," Mr. Kennaston continued, after an interval of meditation, "but falling in love appears to be the one utterly inexplicable, utterly reasonless thing one ever does in one's life. You can usually think of some more or less plausible palliation for embezzlement, say, or for robbing a cathedral or even for committing suicide--but no man can ever explain how he happened to fall in love. He simply did it. EY AND IN SOME DEGREE THE MOON THAT INDUCED ME TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU I ACTED ON THE IMPULSE OF THE MOMENT JUST FOR AN INSTANT THE NOVELTY OF DOING A PERFECTLY SENSIBLE THING AND MARRYING MONEY IS UNIVERSALLY CONCEDED TO COME UNDER THAT HEAD APPEALED TO ME SO I DID IT BUT ALL THE TIME I WAS IN LOVE WITH KATHLEEN SOMEREZ WHY THE MOMENT I LEFT YOU I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT NOT EVEN YOU AND YOU ARE QUITE THE MOST FASCINATING AND GENERALLY ADORABLE WOMAN I EVER KNEW MARGARET I BEGAN TO REALIZE I SAY THAT NOT EVEN YOU COULD EVER MAKE ME FORGET THAT FACT AND I WAS VERY PROPERLY MISERABLE IT IS EXTREMELY QUEER MISTER CANNASTON CONTINUED AFTER AN INTERVAL OF MEDITATION BUT FALLING IN LOVE APPEARS TO BE THE ONE UTTERLY INEXPLICABLE UTTERLY REASONLESS THING ONE EVER DOES IN ONE'S LIFE YOU CAN USUALLY THINK OF SOME MORE OR LESS PLAUSIBLE PALLIATION FOR EMBEZZLEMENT SAY OR FOR ROBBING A CATHEDRAL OR EVEN FOR COMMITTING SUICIDE BUT NO MAN CAN EVER EXPLAIN HOW HE HAPPENED TO FALL IN LOVE HE SIMPLY DID IT
