The Golden Bowl

PART THIRD
80/250

My romance is that, if you want to know, I've been all day on the town.

Literally on the town--isn't that what they call it?
I know how it feels." After which, as if breaking off, "And you, have you never been out ?" she asked.
He still stood there with his hands in his pockets.

"What should I have gone out for ?" "Oh, what should people in our case do anything for?
But you're wonderful, all of YOU--you know how to live.

We're clumsy brutes, we other's, beside you--we must always be 'doing' something.

However," Charlotte pursued, "if you had gone out you might have missed the chance of me--which I'm sure, though you won't confess it, was what you didn't want; and might have missed, above all, the satisfaction that, look blank about it as you will, I've come to congratulate you on.
