It would have puzzled me then to say in what respect it was worth attention.
She was once under a fascination ludicrously, painfully, intensely like a sort of tipsy poor puss, the trapped hare tossed to her serpent; and thoroughly reassured for a few caresses, quite at home, caged and at home; and all abloom with pretty ways, modest pranks, innocent fondlings. Gobbled, my dear! It is the doom of the innocents, a natural fate.
