Mrs.Brookenham obliged him with what she meant.

"No; she's a tremendous dear, and we're great friends.

But she has her free young life, which, by that law of our time that I'm sure I only want, like all other laws, once I know what they ARE, to accept--she has her precious freshness of feeling which I say to myself that, so far as control is concerned, I ought to respect.

I try to get her to sit with me, and she does so a little, because she's kind.

But before I know it she leaves me again: she feels what a difference her presence makes in one's liberty of talk." Mr.Cashmore was struck by this picture.
