失落的世界

章节摘录

　　For an hour or more that evening ！ listened to his monotonous chirrupabout bad money driving out good， the token value of silver， the deprecia-tion of the rupee， and the true standards of exchange.　　Suppose，he cried， with feeble violence， that all the debts in theworld were called up simultaneously and immediate payment insistedupon. What， under our present conditions， would happen then？　　I gave the self-evident answer that I should be a ruined man， uponwhich he jumped from his chair， reproved me my habitual levity， whichmade it impossible for him to discuss any reasonable subject in my presence，and bounced off out of the room to dress for a Masonic meeting.　　At last I was alone with Gladys， and the moment of fate had come！All that evening I had felt like the soldier who awaits the signal which willsend him on a forlom hope， hope of victory and fear of repulse alternatingin his mind.　　She sat with that proud， delicate profile of hers outlined against the redcurtain. How beautiful she was！ And yet how aloofl We had been friends，quite good friends; but never could I get beyond the same comradeshipwhich I might have established with one of my fellow-reporters upon theGazette——perfectly frank， perfectly kindly， and perfectly unsexual. Myinstincts are all against a woman being too frank and at her ease with me.It is no compliment to a man. Where the real sex feeling begins， timidityand distrust are its companions， heritage from old wicked days when loveand violence went often hand in hand.
