Her
gaze
rested
for
a
moment
on
the
muscular
neck
,
heavy
corded
,
almost
bull
-
like
,
bronzed
by
the
sun
,
spilling
over
with
rugged
health
and
strength
.
52
And
though
he
sat
there
,
blushing
and
humble
,
again
she
felt
drawn
to
him
.
She
was
surprised
by
a
wanton
thought
that
rushed
into
her
mind
.
It
seemed
to
her
that
if
she
could
lay
her
two
hands
upon
that
neck
that
all
its
strength
and
vigor
would
flow
out
to
her
.
She
was
shocked
by
this
thought
.
It
seemed
to
reveal
to
her
an
undreamed
depravity
in
her
nature
.
Besides
,
strength
to
her
was
a
gross
and
brutish
thing
.
Her
ideal
of
masculine
beauty
had
always
been
slender
gracefulness
.
Yet
the
thought
still
persisted
.
It
bewildered
her
that
she
should
desire
to
place
her
hands
on
that
sunburned
neck
.
In
truth
,
she
was
far
from
robust
,
and
the
need
of
her
body
and
mind
was
for
strength
.
But
she
did
not
know
it
.
She
knew
only
that
no
man
had
ever
affected
her
before
as
this
one
had
,
who
shocked
her
from
moment
to
moment
with
his
awful
grammar
.
53
"
Yes
,
I
ain
t
no
invalid
,
"
he
said
.
"
When
it
comes
down
to
hard
-
pan
,
I
can
digest
scrap
-
iron
.
But
just
now
I
ve
got
dyspepsia
.
Most
of
what
you
was
sayin
I
can
t
digest
.
Never
trained
that
way
,
you
see
.
I
like
books
and
poetry
,
and
what
time
I
ve
had
I
ve
read
em
,
but
I
ve
never
thought
about
em
the
way
you
have
.
That
s
why
I
can
t
talk
about
em
.
I
m
like
a
navigator
adrift
on
a
strange
sea
without
chart
or
compass
.
Now
I
want
to
get
my
bearin
s
.
Mebbe
you
can
put
me
right
.
How
did
you
learn
all
this
you
ve
ben
talkin
?

"
By
going
to
school
,
I
fancy
,
and
by
studying
,
"
she
answered
.
55
"
I
went
to
school
when
I
was
a
kid
,
"
he
began
to
object
.
56
"
Yes
;
but
I
mean
high
school
,
and
lectures
,
and
the
university
.
"
57
"
You
ve
gone
to
the
university
?
"
he
demanded
in
frank
amazement
.
He
felt
that
she
had
become
remoter
from
him
by
at
least
a
million
miles
.
"
I
m
going
there
now
.
I
m
taking
special
courses
in
English
.

He
did
not
know
what
"
English
"
meant
,
but
he
made
a
mental
note
of
that
item
of
ignorance
and
passed
on
.
59
"
How
long
would
I
have
to
study
before
I
could
go
to
the
university
?
"
he
asked
.
60
She
beamed
encouragement
upon
his
desire
for
knowledge
,
and
said
:
"
That
depends
upon
how
much
studying
you
have
already
done
.
You
have
never
attended
high
school
?
Of
course
not
.
But
did
you
finish
grammar
school
?
"
