Annotated text:
My ears were becoming attuned, and for the
first time I heard clearly what the woman was
saying : “Are you going to leave everything to
me?” she asked, and I could have sworn her
companion started. Then seeing, or thinking he
saw, his mistake, he answered : “You must do
just as you think fit, May.” After all it was none
of my business. Some fragments of dejected
flesh still lay among the rests of the spilled
wine. At my sign, Henry stooped and made all
clean again. And there was no immediate call
for me to listen further, for there came a pause
during which both seemed busy with their
thoughts. And I too thought. The voice was like
and yet not like that of Janetta Sheringham.
How we had laughed that day in the hay field
when John sat on the buttered rolls, and we
devised games out of straws, and we thought
the cricket a war-horse, barded and chaufroned
too, real fairy, with wings all right.
