THE CONFESSION OF A FOOL 191
Because the pictures which hung in my drawing-room
were proofs of a noble trust and evidenced the ideal
character of our relationship, they remained where they
were ; I even carried simplicity to the length of telling all
inquisitive callers who cared to know who the giver of
those landscapes was.
I never dreamed in those days that it was I, the man
belonging to the middle-classes, who possessed tact and
delicacy, instincts which are as frequently found amongst
the lower strata of society as they are wanting in men and
women of the upper ones, where coarse minds are only
too often cleverly concealed under a thin layer of veneer.
Would that I had known what manner of woman she was
in whose hands I had laid my fate !
But I did not know it.
