How different he was from Claude . Now that she was with Sennier she was more sharply aware of Claude 's reserve than she had ever been before , of a certain rigidity which underlay all the apparent social readiness . When Sennier sang , in a voice that scarcely existed but that charmed , she was really entranced . When he played after midnight she was excited , intensely excited . It was past one o'clock when he left reluctantly , promising to return on the morrow , to take all his meals at Djenan-el-Maqui , to live there , except for the very few hours claimed by sleep , till the `` cat enraged '' and his wife returned . Charmian helped him to put on his coat . He resigned himself to her hands like a child .
