Maxim Flashcards
In Monte Carlo first meeting Narrator and MVH
X2
“His face was arresting, sensitive, medieval in some strange inexplicable way, and I was reminded of a portrait seen in a gallery”
“He looked down on us, mocking, faintly sardonic, a ghost of a smile on his lips”
In the car in Monte Carlo
X2
“He had the face of one who walks in his sleep, and for a moment the idea came to me that he was not normal, not altogether sane”
“He did not belong to the bright landscape, he should be standing on the steps of a gaunt cathedral, his cloak flung back, while a beggar at his feet scrambled for coins”
Maxim remembering Rebecca
X3
In Monte Carlo “I noticed the subtle change in his eyes, the undefinable something that lingered there, momentarily, and I felt I had looked upon something personal to himself with which I had no concern”
“When I killed he she was smiling still. I fired at her heart”
Relationship with narrator after confession
X2
“I held out my arms to him and he came to me like a child… I held him and comforted him as though he were Jasper”
“He looked at me for the first time that evening and in his eyes i read the message of farewell”
Maxims reaction to narrators ball dress
X2
“His eyes blazed in anger. His face was ashen white”
“The figure who stood beside me was wooden too. His face was a mask, his smile was not his own. The eyes of a man I loved, the Man I knew. They looked through me and beyond me, cold expressionless, to some place of pain and torture I could not enter, to some private, inward hell I could not share”
