At the end of the third mile Sydney asked, not lifting her eyes from the ground before her, "Is the bridle-path open?"
She read indifferently, waiting for visitors, and thinking less of the poetry than of the poetess, Miss Bell, who was perhaps her most agreeable friend, and whom she almost never saw; who, at every one of their meetings, which were so rare, kissed her, calling her "darling," and babbled; who, plain yet seductive, almost ridiculous, yet wholly exquisite, lived at Fiesole like a philosopher, while England celebrated her as her most beloved poet.

Voices immediately rose in a web of talk, many-colored, hot-colored. Carl babbled to the man next him, "He sure is broad. He doesn't care whether they're conservative or not. And some sensation at the end!" "Heh? What? Him?"
"Is that all?" "A-ha-ha." "But you have an Indian name, have you not?" "Injun name long. Babby no spik Injun name." After Jean had finished her breakfast, she felt much refreshed.
