"There seems to be always a hundred things tearing one different ways, and no time for any of them." "Yes, when one is young one feels like that," said Lady Winterbourne, sighing. "When one is old one accepts one's limitations. When I was twenty I never thought that I should still be an ignorant and discontented woman at nearly seventy." "It is because you are so young still, Lady Winterbourne, that you feel so," said Aldous, laughing at her, as one does at an old friend. "Why, you are younger than any of us! I feel all brushed and stirred up--a boy at school again--after I have been to see you!" "Well, I don't know what you mean, I'm sure," said Lady Winterbourne, sighing again. |
