〃Wheres that letter?〃

She gave it to him。 He sat looking at it。 〃You are requested

to call at the above offices on Thursday next〃 It

was a cold; official notice to Ursula herself and had nothing to

do with him。 So! She existed now as a separate social

individual。 It was for her to answer this note; without regard

to him。 He had even no right to interfere。 His heart was hard

and angry。

〃You had to do it behind our backs; had you?〃 he said; with a

sneer。 And her heart leapt with hot pain。 She knew she was

free……she had broken away from him。 He was beaten。

〃You said; let her try;〃 she retorted; almost apologizing

to him。

He did not hear。 He sat looking at the letter。

〃Education Office; Kingston…on…Thames〃……and then the

typewritten 〃Miss Ursula Brangwen; Yew Tree Cottage; Cossethay。〃

It was all so plete and so final。 He could not but feel the

new position Ursula held; as recipient of that letter。 It was an

iron in his soul。

〃Well;〃 he said at length; 〃youre not going。〃

Ursula started and could find no words to clamour her

revolt。

〃If you think youre going dancin off to th other side of

London; youre mistaken。〃

〃Why not?〃 she cried; at once hard fixed in her will to

go。

〃Thats why not;〃 he said。

And there was silence till Mrs。 Brangwen came downstairs。

〃Look here; Anna;〃 he said; handing her the letter。

She put back her head; seeing a typewritten letter;

anticipating trouble from the outside world。 There was the

curious; sliding motion of her eyes; as if she shut off her

sentient; maternal self; and a kind of hard trance; meaningless;

took its place。 Thus; meaningless; she glanced over the letter;

careful not to take it in。 She apprehended the contents with her

callous; superficial mind。 Her feeling self was shut down。
