She
still
had
sense
enough
and
self-possession
enough
to
conceal
her
wrath
and
to
close
the
door
.
Beside
his
wife
Harold
was
standing
,
offensively
smug
and
inefficient
in
the
fashionable
frock-coat
and
silk
hat
of
the
time
,
a
restraining
influence
as
yet
.
He
was
bowing
and
smiling
:
"
Oh
.
"
This
sound
was
neither
an
"
oh
"
nor
an
"
ah
,
"
but
a
kind
of
Danish
inflected
"
awe
,
"
which
was
usually
not
unpleasing
to
hear
.
"
How
are
you
,
once
more
,
Meeses
Cowperwood
?
It
eez
sudge
a
pleasure
to
see
you
again
--
awe
.
"
"
Wo
n't
you
two
just
go
in
the
reception-room
a
moment
,
"
said
Aileen
,
almost
hoarsely
.
"
I
'll
be
right
in
.
I
want
to
get
something
.
"
Then
,
as
an
afterthought
,
she
called
very
sweetly
:
"
Oh
,
Mrs.
Sohlberg
,
wo
n't
you
come
up
to
my
room
for
a
moment
?
I
have
something
I
want
to
show
you
.
Rita
responded
promptly
.
She
always
felt
it
incumbent
upon
her
to
be
very
nice
to
Aileen
.
"
We
have
only
a
moment
to
stay
,
"
she
replied
,
archly
and
sweetly
,
and
coming
out
in
the
hall
,
"
but
I
'll
come
up
.
"
Aileen
stayed
to
see
her
go
first
,
then
followed
up-stairs
swiftly
,
surely
,
entered
after
Rita
,
and
closed
the
door
.
With
a
courage
and
rage
born
of
a
purely
animal
despair
,
she
turned
and
locked
it
;
then
she
wheeled
swiftly
,
her
eyes
lit
with
a
savage
fire
,
her
cheeks
pale
,
but
later
aflame
,
her
hands
,
her
fingers
working
in
a
strange
,
unconscious
way
.
"
So
,
"
she
said
,
looking
at
Rita
,
and
coming
toward
her
quickly
and
angrily
,
"
you
'll
steal
my
husband
,
will
you
?
You
'll
live
in
a
secret
apartment
,
will
you
?
You
'll
come
here
smiling
and
lying
to
me
,
will
you
?
You
beast
!
You
cat
!
You
prostitute
!
I
'll
show
you
now
!
You
tow-headed
beast
!
I
know
you
now
for
what
you
are
!
I
'll
teach
you
once
for
all
!
Take
that
,
and
that
,
and
that
!
"
Suiting
action
to
word
,
Aileen
had
descended
upon
her
whirlwind
,
animal
fashion
,
striking
,
scratching
,
choking
,
tearing
her
visitor
's
hat
from
her
head
,
ripping
the
laces
from
her
neck
,
beating
her
in
the
face
,
and
clutching
violently
at
her
hair
and
throat
to
choke
and
mar
her
beauty
if
she
could
.
For
the
moment
she
was
really
crazy
with
rage
.
By
the
suddenness
of
this
onslaught
Rita
Sohlberg
was
taken
back
completely
.
It
all
came
so
swiftly
,
so
terribly
,
she
scarcely
realized
what
was
happening
before
the
storm
was
upon
her
.
There
was
no
time
for
arguments
,
pleas
,
anything
.
Terrified
,
shamed
,
nonplussed
,
she
went
down
quite
limply
under
this
almost
lightning
attack
.
When
Aileen
began
to
strike
her
she
attempted
in
vain
to
defend
herself
,
uttering
at
the
same
time
piercing
screams
which
could
be
heard
throughout
the
house
.
She
screamed
shrilly
,
strangely
,
like
a
wild
dying
animal
.
On
the
instant
all
her
fine
,
civilized
poise
had
deserted
her
.
From
the
sweetness
and
delicacy
of
the
reception
atmosphere
--
the
polite
cooings
,
posturings
,
and
mouthings
so
charming
to
contemplate
,
so
alluring
in
her
--
she
had
dropped
on
the
instant
to
that
native
animal
condition
that
shows
itself
in
fear
.
Her
eyes
had
a
look
of
hunted
horror
,
her
lips
and
cheeks
were
pale
and
drawn
.
She
retreated
in
a
staggering
,
ungraceful
way
;
she
writhed
and
squirmed
,
screaming
in
the
strong
clutch
of
the
irate
and
vigorous
Aileen
.
