"I suppose," he thought, "it's because she is what they call a pronounced personality, though that does n't seem a very flattering description. I suppose it's her odylic force." Adrian selected a second egg, and placed it in his egg-cup.
"'And how did you eat it ? "'Like every one else, I suppose. I took my spoon in one hand and my fork in the other. "'Your fork? Good heavens! None but a savage eats soup with a fork. But go on.
