Isn't it, Madre?"
The girl's remark showed her sense of their complete triple intimacy,
but it emphasized to Hermione her own cruel sense of being in the
wilderness. And she even felt vexed that it should be supposed she
wanted Emile's company. Nevertheless, she restrained herself from
making any disclaimer. Vere went up-stairs, and she and Artois went
out and sat down under the trellis. But with the removal of Vere a
protection and safety-valve seemed to be removed, and neither Hermione
nor Emile could for a moment continue the conversation. Again a sense
of humiliation, of being mindless, nothing in the eyes of Artois came
to Hermione, diminishing all her powers. She was never a conceited,
but she had often been a self-reliant woman. Now she felt a humbleness
such as she knew no one should ever feel--a humbleness that was
contemptible, that felt itself incapable, unworthy of notice. She
tried to resist it, but when she thought of this man, her friend,
talking over her failure with her child, in whom he must surely
believe, she could not.
