Excerpt: ...except for Jim, who kept walking around the halls because he couldn''t sleep. I got up at last and ordered him to bed, and he had the audacity to have a grievance with me. Look at my situation now! he said, sitting pensively on a steam radiator. Aunt Selina is crazy. I only kissed your hand, anyhow, and I don''t know why you sat in the den all evening; you might have known that Bella would notice it. Why couldn''t you leave me alone to my misery? Very well, I said, much offended. After this I shall sit with Flannigan in the kitchen. He is the only gentleman in the house. I left him babbling apologies and went to bed, but I had an uncomfortable feeling that Bella had been a witness to our conversation, for the door into Aunt Selina''s room closed softly as I passed. I knew beforehand that I was not going to sleep. The instant I turned out the light the nightmare events of the evening ranged themselves in a procession, or a series of tableaus, one after the other; Flannigan on the roof, with the bracelet on his palm, looking accusingly at me; Mr. Harbison and the scene on the roof, with my flippancy; and the result of that flippancy Mary Roberts Rinehart, Books, Fiction and Literature, When A Man Marries Books>Fiction and Literature, General Books LLC<
