norah had gone: that fact was indelibly imprinted on his mind, but as yet it aroused no emotion. it had produced no sense of desolation in him: all the strainings of doubt and desire{318} which had racked him before were dead. the suspense was over, his love would enjoy no fruition, and he had been all evening exactly as is the man who has been condemned to be hung, and now, though he has passed a month of sleeplessness or nightmare, has no anxiety to torture him, and for that first night after his trial is over, can rest in the certainty of the worst and the uttermost. several times this evening keeling had probed into his own heart, pricking it with the reminder of the knowledge that she had left him, but no response, no wail or cry of pain had come from it. his heart knew it, and there was no use in repeating the news. his heart had received it, and lay there beating quietly and steadily. meantime all his surface-perceptions went on with no less vividness than was their wont. there was alice making her usual mistakes over the moves of the pieces, there was lady keeling alternating between drowsiness and volubility. her fat face wrinkled and bulged on one side when her head fell a little crooked as she dozed; it became symmetrical again when she recovered herself, and talked on her invariable topics, lord inverbroom, dinner, her engagements as lady mayoress, mr silverdale, and so forth. she alluded again to her husband��s magnanimity in not turning out the county club from their premises, she even introduced norah��s name, and endorsed her expressed intention to be polite to her if she came{319} in to tea on sunday. when necessary he replied, ��quite so, my dear,�� but nothing reached him. it was perfectly easy now to be polite and patient. he was locked up somewhere inside himself, and sparrows were twittering in the bushes far outside.��the last time mme. le brun saw the queen was at the last ball given at versailles, which took place in the theatre, and at which she looked on from one of the boxes. she observed with indignation the rudeness of some of the young radical nobles; they refused to dance when requested to do so by the queen, whose agitation and uneasiness were only too apparent. the demeanour of the populace was becoming every day more ferocious and alarming; the drives and streets were scarcely safe for any but the lower classes. at a concert given by mme. le brun, most of the guests came in with looks of consternation. they had been driving earlier in the day to longchamps, and as they passed the barri��re de l����toile, a furious mob had surrounded and insulted everybody who passed in carriages. villainous looking faces pressed close to them, horrible figures climbed on to the steps of the carriages, crying out, with infamous threats and brutal language, that next year they should be in the carriages and the owners behind them.������qui va nous ramener en france������"give it up; let's have it."��
