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
