THEY MET again in the cafe several hours later. Gerald went through the push doors into the large, lofty room where the faces and heads of the drinkers showed dimly through the haze of smoke, reflected more dimly, and repeated ad infinitum in the great mirrors on the walls, so that one seemed to enter a vague, dim world of shadowy drinkers humming within an atmosphere of blue tobacco smoke. There was, however, the red plush of the seats to give substance within the bubble of pleasure.

Gerald moved in his slow, observant, glistening-attentive motion down between the tables and the people whose shadowy faces looked up as he passed. He seemed to be entering in some strange element, passing into an illuminated new region, among a host of licentious souls. He was pleased, and entertained. He looked over all the dim, evanescent, strangely illuminated faces that bent across the tables. Then he saw Birkin rise and signal to him.

At Birkin's table was a girl with dark, soft, fluffy hair cut short in the artist fashion, hanging level and full almost like the Egyptian princess's. She was small and delicately made, with warm colouring and large, dark hostile eyes. There was a delicacy, almost a beauty in all her form, and at the same time a certain attractive grossness of spirit, that made a little spark leap instantly alight in Gerald's eyes.

Birkin, who looked muted, unreal, his presence left out, introduced her as Miss Darrington. She gave her hand with a sudden, unwilling movement, looking all the while at Gerald with a dark, exposed stare. A glow came over him as he sat down.

The waiter appeared. Gerald glanced at the glasses of the other two. Birkin was drinking something green, Miss Darrington had a small liqueur glass that was empty save for a tiny drop.

`Brandy,' she said, sipping her last drop and putting down the glass. The waiter disappeared.

`No,' she said to Birkin. `He doesn't know I'm back. He'll be terrified when he sees me here.'

She spoke her r's like w's, lisping with a slightly babyish pronunciation which was at once affected and true to her character. Her voice was dull and toneless.

`He's doing a private show at Lady Snellgrove's,' said the girl. `Warens is there too.'

There was a pause.`Well, then,’ said Birkin, in a dispassionate protective manner, `what do you intend to do?’

The girl paused sullenly. She hated the question.

`You've done with him altogether?' But she turned aside her face sullenly, and did not answer the question.

Another young man came hurrying up to the table.

And giving a sharp look at Birkin and at Gerald, the young man moved off, with a swing of his coat skirts.

All this time Gerald had been completely ignored. And yet he felt that the girl was physically aware of his proximity. He waited, listened, and tried to piece together the conversation.

`Are you staying at the flat?' the girl asked, of Birkin.

`I don't know yet. I can always go to Bertha's.' There was a silence.

Suddenly the girl turned to Gerald, and said, in a rather formal, polite voice, with the distant manner of a woman who accepts her position as a social inferior, yet assumes intimate camaraderie with the male she addresses:`Do you know London well?’

`I can hardly say,' he laughed. `I've been up a good many times, but I was never in this place before.'

`You're not an artist, then?' she said, in a tone that placed him an outsider.

`He's a soldier, and an explorer, and a Napoleon of industry,' said Birkin, giving Gerald his credentials for Bohemia.

`And then he explored the Amazon,' said Birkin, `and now he is ruling over coalmines.'

The girl looked at Gerald with steady, calm curiosity. He laughed, hearing himself described. He felt proud too, full of male strength. His blue, keen eyes were lit up with laughter, his ruddy face, with its sharp fair hair, was full of satisfaction, and glowing with life. He piqued her.

Still she stared into his face with that slow, full gaze which was so curious and so exciting to him. He was acutely and delightfully conscious of himself, of his own attractiveness. He felt full of strength, able to give off a sort of electric power. And he was aware of her dark, hot-looking eyes upon him. She had beautiful eyes, dark, fully-opened, hot, naked in their looking at him. And on them there seemed to float a film of disintegration, a sort of misery and sullenness, like oil on water.

She wore no hat in the heated cafe, her loose, simple jumper was strung on a string round her neck. But it was made of rich peach-coloured crepe-de-chine, that hung heavily and softly from her young throat and her slender wrists. Her appearance was simple and complete, really beautiful, because of her regularity and form, her soft dark hair falling full and level on either side of her head, her straight, small, softened features, Egyptian in the slight fulness of their curves, her slender neck and the simple, rich-coloured smock hanging on her slender shoulders. She was very still, almost null, in her manner, apart and watchful.

She appealed to Gerald strongly. He felt an awful, enjoyable power over her, an instinctive cherishing very near to cruelty. For she was a victim. He felt that she was in his power, and he was generous. The electricity was turgid and voluptuously rich, in his limbs. He would be able to destroy her utterly in the strength of his discharge. But she was waiting in her separation, given.

They talked banalities for some time. Suddenly Birkin said:`There’s Julius!’ and he half rose to his feet, motioning to the newcomer. The girl, with a curious, almost evil motion, looked round over her shoulder without moving her body. Gerald watched her dark, soft hair swing over her ears. He felt her watching intensely the man who was approaching, so he looked too. He saw a pale, full-built young man with rather long, solid fair hair hanging from under his black hat, moving cumbrously down the room, his face lit up with a smile at once naive and warm, and vapid. He approached towards Birkin, with a haste of welcome.

It was not till he was quite close that he perceived the girl. He recoiled, went pale, and said, in a high squealing voice:`Pussum, what are you doing here?’

The cafe looked up like animals when they hear a cry. Halliday hung motionless, an almost imbecile smile flickering palely on his face. The girl only stared at him with a black look in which flared an unfathomable hell of knowledge, and a certain impotence. She was limited by him.

`Why have you come back?' repeated Halliday, in the same high, hysterical voice. `I told you not to come back.'

The girl did not answer, only stared in the same viscous, heavy fashion, straight at him, as he stood recoiled, as if for safety, against the next table.

`You know you wanted her to come back -- come and sit down,' said Birkin to him.

Birkin, who looked muted, unreal, his presence left out, introduced her as Miss Darrington. She gave her hand with a sudden, unwilling movement, looking all the while at Gerald with a dark, exposed stare. A glow came over him as he sat down.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

The waiter appeared. Gerald glanced at the glasses of the other two. Birkin was drinking something green, Miss Darrington had a small liqueur glass that was empty save for a tiny drop.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Won't you have some more -- ?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Brandy,' she said, sipping her last drop and putting down the glass. The waiter disappeared.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`No,' she said to Birkin. `He doesn't know I'm back. He'll be terrified when he sees me here.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

She spoke her r's like w's, lisping with a slightly babyish pronunciation which was at once affected and true to her character. Her voice was dull and toneless.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Where is he then?' asked Birkin.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`He's doing a private show at Lady Snellgrove's,' said the girl. `Warens is there too.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

There was a pause.`Well, then,’ said Birkin, in a dispassionate protective manner, `what do you intend to do?’

请登陆会员查看更多内容

The girl paused sullenly. She hated the question.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I don't intend to do anything,' she replied. `I shall look for some sittings tomorrow.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Who shall you go to?' asked Birkin.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I shall go to Bentley's first. But I believe he's angwy with me for running away.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`That is from the Madonna?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Yes. And then if he doesn't want me, I know I can get work with Carmarthen.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Carmarthen?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Lord Carmarthen -- he does photographs.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Chiffon and shoulders -- '

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Yes. But he's awfully decent.' There was a pause.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`And what are you going to do about Julius?' he asked.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Nothing,' she said. `I shall just ignore him.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`You've done with him altogether?' But she turned aside her face sullenly, and did not answer the question.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

Another young man came hurrying up to the table.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Hallo Birkin! Hallo Pussum, when did you come back?' he said eagerly.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Today.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Does Halliday know?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I don't know. I don't care either.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Ha-ha! The wind still sits in that quarter, does it? Do you mind if I come over to this table?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I'm talking to Wupert, do you mind?' she replied, coolly and yet appealingly, like a child.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Open confession -- good for the soul, eh?' said the young man. `Well, so long.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

And giving a sharp look at Birkin and at Gerald, the young man moved off, with a swing of his coat skirts.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

All this time Gerald had been completely ignored. And yet he felt that the girl was physically aware of his proximity. He waited, listened, and tried to piece together the conversation.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`Are you staying at the flat?' the girl asked, of Birkin.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`For three days,' replied Birkin. `And you?'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I don't know yet. I can always go to Bertha's.' There was a silence.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

Suddenly the girl turned to Gerald, and said, in a rather formal, polite voice, with the distant manner of a woman who accepts her position as a social inferior, yet assumes intimate camaraderie with the male she addresses:`Do you know London well?’

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`I can hardly say,' he laughed. `I've been up a good many times, but I was never in this place before.'

请登陆会员查看更多内容

`You're not an artist, then?' she said, in a tone that placed him an outsider.
