His hours of drunkenness were not cut off from his other hours by any blank wall of oblivion ; he remembered what Janet had done to offend him the evening before , he remembered what he had done to her at midnight , just as he would have remembered if he had been consulted about a right of road . The remembrance gave him a definite ground for the extra ill-humour which had attended his waking every morning this week , but he would not admit to himself that it cost him any anxiety . ` Pooh , ' he said inwardly , ` she would go straight to her mother 's . She 's as timid as a hare ; and she 'll never let anybody know about it .
