He had arrived at a better knowledge of her capabilities to-day and began to realize that she was as changeable as a chameleon.

She might have been sixteen or thirty, as her mood chanced to affect her.
When we interview the failures we find that all of them give one excuse: "I didn't have the confidence." They may not say it in exactly these words but the meaning is plain. They ran through the whole gamut of self-distrust which is the natural result of not having started early in the study of self the serious realization of their own capabilities.

A young man, prompted by Rosalie, pointed her out to the Duchess, saying: "There is a very remarkable young person, a strong-minded young lady too! She drove a clever man into a monastery the Grand Chartreuse a man of immense capabilities, Albert de Savarus, whose career she wrecked.
Every nation, like every individual, possesses different wants and capabilities, and will develop itself accordingly. Differences in religion, climate, manners, customs, etc., will cause differences in their art and literature, the most lasting monuments of their morals, taste, and feelings.
Being thus the product of wholly irrational forces, it is little wonder that only in recent years has she had any opportunity to show what she in her inmost soul desired, and what capabilities were latent within her personality.
