Part 4
But presently, as she sat on the one antimacassared red silk chair and surveyed
her hold-all and bag in that tidy, rather vacant, and dehumanized apartment, with
its empty wardrobe and desert toilet-table and pictureless walls and stereotyped
furnishings, a sudden blankness came upon her as though she didn’t matter, and
had been thrust away into this impersonal corner, she and her gear. It was a night well-fitted to their enterprise, calm, still, and profoundly dark. There was nothing left now of the selfassured, prosperous man of affairs. Upon the pavement near the court lay the
porter, who had been prostrated by a blow from the butt-end of a pistol. But in between these wider phases of comparative confidence were
gaps of disconcerting doubt, when the universe was presented as making sinister
and threatening faces at her, defying her to defy, preparing a humiliating and
shameful overthrow.
