She would correct certain errors she was conscious of in her own manners, and copy Mrs.Randolph as much as possible.
Certainly, there was a great deal to be said of Mrs.Randolph's way of looking at things.

Now she thought of it calmly, there WAS too much informality and freedom in American ways! There was not enough respect due to position and circumstances.

Take those men in the wheat-field, for example.

Yet here she found it difficult to formulate an indictment against them for "freedom." She would like to go there some day with the Randolphs and let them see what company manners were! She was thoroughly convinced now that her father had done wrong in sending her alone; it certainly was most disrespectful to them and careless of him (she had quite forgotten that she had herself proposed to her father to go alone rather than wait at the hotel), and she must have looked very ridiculous in her fine clothes and the broken-down buggy.

When her trunk came by express to-morrow she would look out something more sober.
