He
answered
with
indifference
that
he
didn
t
know
it
either
,
and
in
the
reaction
of
relief
she
declared
:
She
s
certainly
ever
so
much
prettier
than
she
was
.
.
.
442
She
s
rather
good
fun
,
he
admitted
,
as
though
he
had
not
noticed
her
other
advantages
;
and
suddenly
Anna
saw
in
his
eyes
the
look
she
had
seen
there
the
previous
evening
.
443
She
felt
as
if
he
were
leagues
and
leagues
away
from
her
.
All
her
hopes
dissolved
,
and
she
was
conscious
of
sitting
rigidly
,
with
high
head
and
straight
lips
,
while
the
irresistible
word
fled
with
a
last
wing
-
beat
into
the
golden
mist
of
her
illusions
.

She
was
still
quivering
with
the
pain
and
bewilderment
of
this
adventure
when
Fraser
Leath
appeared
.
She
met
him
first
in
Italy
,
where
she
was
travelling
with
her
parents
;
and
the
following
winter
he
came
to
New
York
.
In
Italy
he
had
seemed
interesting
:
in
New
York
he
became
remarkable
.
He
seldom
spoke
of
his
life
in
Europe
,
and
let
drop
but
the
most
incidental
allusions
to
the
friends
,
the
tastes
,
the
pursuits
which
filled
his
cosmopolitan
days
;
but
in
the
atmosphere
of
West
Fifty
-
fifth
Street
he
seemed
the
embodiment
of
a
storied
past
.
He
presented
Miss
Summers
with
a
prettily
-
bound
anthology
of
the
old
French
poets
and
,
when
she
showed
a
discriminating
pleasure
in
the
gift
,
observed
with
his
grave
smile
:
I
didn
t
suppose
I
should
find
any
one
here
who
would
feel
about
these
things
as
I
do
.
On
another
occasion
he
asked
her
acceptance
of
a
half
-
effaced
eighteenth
century
pastel
which
he
had
surprisingly
picked
up
in
a
New
York
auction
-
room
.
I
know
no
one
but
you
who
would
really
appreciate
it
,
he
explained
.
445
He
permitted
himself
no
other
comments
,
but
these
conveyed
with
sufficient
directness
that
he
thought
her
worthy
of
a
different
setting
.
That
she
should
be
so
regarded
by
a
man
living
in
an
atmosphere
of
art
and
beauty
,
and
esteeming
them
the
vital
elements
of
life
,
made
her
feel
for
the
first
time
that
she
was
understood
.
Here
was
some
one
whose
scale
of
values
was
the
same
as
hers
,
and
who
thought
her
opinion
worth
hearing
on
the
very
matters
which
they
both
considered
of
supreme
importance
.
The
discovery
restored
her
self
-
confidence
,
and
she
revealed
herself
to
Mr
.
446
Leath
as
she
had
never
known
how
to
reveal
herself
to
Darrow
.
447
As
the
courtship
progressed
,
and
they
grew
more
confidential
,
her
suitor
surprised
and
delighted
her
by
little
explosions
of
revolutionary
sentiment
.
He
said
:
Shall
you
mind
,
I
wonder
,
if
I
tell
you
that
you
live
in
a
dread
-
fully
conventional
atmosphere
?
and
,
seeing
that
she
manifestly
did
not
mind
:
Of
course
I
shall
say
things
now
and
then
that
will
horrify
your
dear
delightful
parents
I
shall
shock
them
awfully
,
I
warn
you
.

In
confirmation
of
this
warning
he
permitted
himself
an
occasional
playful
fling
at
the
regular
church
-
going
of
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Summers
,
at
the
innocuous
character
of
the
literature
in
their
library
,
and
at
their
guileless
appreciations
in
art
.
He
even
ventured
to
banter
Mrs
.
Summers
on
her
refusal
to
receive
the
irrepressible
Kitty
Mayne
who
,
after
a
rapid
passage
with
George
Darrow
,
was
now
involved
in
another
and
more
flagrant
adventure
.
449
In
Europe
,
you
know
,
the
husband
is
regarded
as
the
only
judge
in
such
matters
.
As
long
as
he
accepts
the
situation
Mr
.
Leath
explained
to
Anna
,
who
took
his
view
the
more
emphatically
in
order
to
convince
herself
that
,
personally
,
she
had
none
but
the
most
tolerant
sentiments
toward
the
lady
.
450
The
subversiveness
of
Mr
.
Leath
s
opinions
was
enhanced
by
the
distinction
of
his
appearance
and
the
reserve
of
his
manners
.
He
was
like
the
anarchist
with
a
gardenia
in
his
buttonhole
who
figures
in
the
higher
melodrama
.
