'You think you will--' But Ursula had got her hand free. She turned to Birkin with a quick,

almost jeering: 'Good-bye,' and she was opening the door before he had

time to do it for her.

When she got outside the house she ran down the road in fury and

agitation. It was strange, the unreasoning rage and violence Hermione

roused in her, by her very presence. Ursula knew she gave herself away

to the other woman, she knew she looked ill-bred, uncouth, exaggerated.

But she did not care. She only ran up the road, lest she should go back

and jeer in the faces of the two she had left behind. For they outraged

her.
