He sat disregarded at supper that evening, save by Valentina's ladies and the fool, who occasionally rallied him upon his glumness.
And because the nations had nothing to fear from one another, and because there were no scheming diplomatists and bureaucrats to make a living out of imaginary antagonisms, people forgot that they were French or German or Russian or English, just as the people of the United States of America had long before practically disregarded the fact that they came from Ohio or Oregon or Connecticut or Nevada.

The squire bunched his features; he tutored his temper, and said not a word. I fancied all was well.
Soul and body would be wholly transferred to that medium where lay the creature's spiritual affinities; his origins would be disregarded on principle, except where they might help to forecast his disposition.
