Felice had fled the field from this young fellow, so much her junior, and then afterward, in a tremor of discomfiture and distress, had kept her distance. Hicks understood Felice. Also the great majority of the miners shift-bosses, chuck-tenders, bed-rock cleaners, and the like understood. Lockwood did not.
Lockwood's student life had benumbed the elemental instinct, which in the miners, the "men," yet remained vigorous and unblunted, and by means of which they assessed Felice and her harmless blandishments at their true worth. For all Lockwood's culture, his own chuck-tenders, unlettered fellows, cumbersome, slow-witted, "knew women" at least, women of their own world, like Felice better than he.
