Also I have discovered out here I believe, darling, you have known it all along! that there is at the very root of me a kind of savage a creature that hates fish-knives and finger-glasses and dressing for dinner the things I have done all my life, and Arthur Delaine will go on doing all his.
What kind of reality? There are all sorts." Elizabeth was suddenly conscious of a soreness in his tone. She tried to walk warily. "I was only thinking," she protested, "of the chances a man gets in this country of showing what is in him." "Remember, too," said Delaine, with spirit, "the chances that he misses!" "The chances that belong only to the old countries?
"I think I guess," he said. "Why not? It was the natural thing. So Mr. Delaine is still here?" "Till to-morrow." "I am glad. I shall like to assure him that his name was not mentioned he was not involved at all!" Elizabeth's lip curled a little, but she said nothing.

"On politics?" asked Delaine. "Yes. We had a couple of meetings and a row." "Jolly for you!" grumbled Philip. "But we've had a beastly time. Ask Elizabeth."
Yet she could understand the usefulness of the costume even if she had no desire to wear it herself. In fact she was more than ever pleased with her new gray delaine dress with its long full skirt.
