So she had simply determined not to keep faith; and her determination, at least, she did keep. Mildred sank to her rest, or rose to fuller comprehensions, within the year, in the Isle of Wight, and Captain Benyon, who had never written so many letters as since they left Naples, sailed westward about the same time as the sweet survivor. For the "Louisiana" at last was ordered home.
He hoped Catie would listen to him, and understand him and his crisis; but, all the time he hoped, he was conscious of a sneaking fear lest she would not. Scott loved to talk things out, and Catie, when she was not too busy otherwise, was a good listener. Nevertheless, her comprehensions were concrete and very, very finite.
Jane seemed to me to be increasingly interesting; she was acquiring new subtleties, complexities, and comprehensions, and shedding crudities. She wrote better, too. We took her stuff sometimes for the Fact. At the same time, she seemed to me to be morally deteriorating, as people who grab and take things they oughtn't to have always do deteriorate.

You may be able to explain it to yourself no doubt you are but to our more limited comprehensions it must remain inexplicable. We can only judge from appearances." "And of course appearances go against me they always do against a woman," she cried rather brokenly. "You would have been wise to have taken that peculiarity into consideration sooner," replied Jack Meredith coldly.
