Cymric enough was in Nesta to catch any thrill from her and join to her mood, if it hung out a colour sad or gay, and was noble, as any mood of this dear Louise would surely be.
Nataly was not so sympathetic.

Only the Welsh and pure Irish are quick at the feelings of the Celtic French.

Nataly came of a Yorkshire stock; she had the bravery, humaneness and generous temper of our civilized North, and a taste for mademoiselle's fine breeding, with a distaste for the singular air of superiority in composure which it was granted to mademoiselle to wear with an unassailable reserve when the roughness of the commercial boor was obtrusive.

She said of her to Colney, as they watched the couple strolling by the lake below: 'Nesta brings her out of her frosts.

I suppose it's the presence of Dr.Schlesien.I have known it the same after an evening of Wagner's music.' 'Richard Wagner Germanized ridicule of the French when they were down,' said Colney.
