face lighted up in return�察�and who then sank back with a sort of sigh of 

relief�察�as if she had at last seen somebody she cared for。 The lady waved 

an un´gloved hand�察�and drove by。 

     ;Who is that�拭─�asked Philip�察�eagerly。            He was used to knowing every 

one。 

     ;Hope's pet�察─�said Kate�察 �and she who pets Hope�察�Lady Antwerp。; 

     ;Is it possible�拭─�said Malbone。           ;That young creature�拭�I fancied her 

ladyship in spectacles�察�with little side curls。 Men speak of her with such 

dismay。; 

     ;Of course�察─�said Kate�察 �she asks them sensible questions。; 

     ;That    is  bad�察─  �admitted     Philip。   ;Nothing      exasperates     fashionable 

Americans like   a   really  intelligent   foreigner。 They  feel   as   Sydney  Smith 

says the English clergy felt about Elizabeth Fry�察�she disturbs their repose�察�

and gives rise to distressing comparisons��they long to burn her alive。 It is 

not their notion of a countess。; 

     ;I am sure it was not mine�察─�said Hope�察 �I can hardly remember that 

she is one�察�I only know that I like her�察�she is so simple and intelligent。 She 

might be a girl from a Normal School。; 

     ;It   is   because   you   are   just   that�察─  �said   Kate�察   �that   she   likes   you。   She 

came   here   supposing   that   we   had   all   been   at   such   schools。   Then   she 

complained of us��us girls in what we call good society�察�I mean��because�察�

as she more than hinted�察�we did not seem to know anything。; 

     ;Some of the mothers were angry�察─�said Hope。                  ;But Aunt Jane told 

her that it was perfectly true�察�and that her ladyship had not yet seen  the 

best´educated girls in America�察�who were generally the daughters of old 

ministers and well´to´do shopkeepers in small New England towns�察�Aunt

Jane said。; 

     ;Yes�察─  �said   Kate�察   �she   said   that   the   best   of   those   girls   went   to   High 

Schools   and   Normal   Schools�察  �and   learned   things   thoroughly�察  �you   know�察�

but that we were only taught at boarding´schools and by governesses�察�and 

came out   at   eighteen�察  �and what   could   we know�拭�Then   came   Hope�察  �who 

had   been   at   those   schools�察  �and   was   the   child   of   refined   people   too�察  �and 

Lady Antwerp was perfectly satisfied。; 

     ;Especially�察─     �said  Hope�察    �when     Aunt    Jane   told  her   that�察 �after   all�察�

schools did not do very  much good�察�for if people were born stupid they 

only became more tiresome by schooling。 She said that she had forgotten 

all she learned at school except the boundaries of ancient Cappadocia。; 

     Aunt Jane's fearless sayings always passed current among her nieces�察�

and   they   drove   on�察  �Hope   not   being   lowered   in   Philip's   estimation�察  �nor 

raised in her own�察�by being the pet of a passing countess。 

     Who would not be charmed ��he thought to himself�� by this noble girl�察�

who walks the earth fresh and strong as a Greek goddess�察�pure as Diana�察�

stately as Juno�拭      �She belongs to the unspoiled womanhood of another age�察�

and is wasted among these dolls and butterflies。 

     He looked at her。       She sat erect and graceful�察�unable to droop into the 

debility of fashionable reclining��her breezy hair lifted a little by the soft 

wind�察  �her   face   flushed�察  �her   full   brown   eyes   looking   eagerly   about�察  �her 

mouth      smiling    happily。    To   be   with   those   she   loved    best�察 �and   to  be 

driving     over   the   beautiful   earth�   �She    was   so   happy    that   no  mob     of 

fashionables      could    have    lessened    her   enjoyment�察     �or  made     her   for  a 

moment   conscious   that   anybody  looked   at   her。         The   brilliant   equipages 

which they met each moment were not wholly uninteresting even to her�察�

for her affections went forth to some of the riders and to all the horses。 She 

was as well contented at that moment�察�on the glittering Avenue�察�as if they 

had all been riding home through country lanes�察�and in constant peril of 

being jolted out among the whortleberry´bushes。 

     Her   face   brightened   yet   more   as   they   met   a   carriage   containing   a 

graceful lady dressed with that exquisiteness of taste that charms both man 

and woman�察�even if no man can analyze and no woman rival its effect。 She

had    a  perfectly   high´bred     look�察  �and   an  eye   that  in  an   instant  would 

calculate one's ancestors as far back as Nebuchadnezzar�察�and bow to them 

all together。     She smiled good´naturedly on Hope�察�and kissed her hand to 

Kate。 

     ;So�察  �Hope�察─  �said   Philip�察   �you   are   bent   on   teaching   music   to   Mrs。 

Meredith's children。; 

     ;Indeed I am� ─�said Hope�察�eagerly。           ;O Philip�察�I shall enjoy it so� �I do 

not   care   so   very   much   about   her�察  �but   she   has   dear   little   girls。 And   you 

know I am a born drudge。           I have not been working hard enough to enjoy 

an entire vacation�察�but I shall be so very happy here if I can have some real 

work for an hour or two every other day。; 

     ;Hope�察─�said Philip�察�gravely�察 �look steadily at these people whom we 

are meeting�察�and reflect。        Should you like to have them say�察�'There goes 

Mrs。 Meredith's music teacher'�拭─�

     ;Why not�拭─�said Hope�察�with surprise。            ;The children are young�察�and it 

is not very presumptuous。         I ought to know enough for that。; 

     Malbone looked at Kate�察�who smiled with delight�察�and put her hand on 

that of Hope。       Indeed�察�she kept it there so long that one or two passing 

ladies   stopped   their   salutations   in   mid   career�察  �and   actually   looked   after 

them   in   amazement   at   their   attitude�察  �as   who   should   say�察   �What   a   very 

mixed society� ─�

     So they drove on��meeting four´in´hands�察�and tandems�察�and donkey´ 

carts�察  �and   a  goat´cart�察  �and   basket´wagons      driven    by   pretty   girls�察 �with 

uncomfortable youths in or out of livery behind。 They met�察�had they but 

known it�察�many who were aiming at notoriety�察�and some who had it�察�many 

who   looked   contented   with   their   lot�察  �and   some   who   actually   were   so。 

They met some who put on courtesy and grace with their kid gloves�察�and 

laid away those virtues in their glove´boxes afterwards�察�while to others the 

mere consciousness of kid gloves brought uneasiness�察�redness of the face�察�

and a general impression of being all made of hands。 They met the four 

white horses of an ex´harness´maker�察�and the superb harnesses of an ex´ 

horse´dealer。 Behind these came the gayest and most plebeian equipage of 

all�察�a party of journeymen carpenters returning from their work in
