I go to it because I like it, and because I like to yell." "Do you yell?" asked Miss Maitland of Boston. "You do that is, I do," said Smith, tersely. "At all events, when things go our way."
That her visions were unworthy no power then could have made him believe. She came from an impecunious family whose lineage was older and greater than his. How she could have thought the high-browed, sensitive-faced young man the one who could fulfill her grasping desires is not to be fathomed. She had believed so, and he did bring to pass all her aspirations.
In fact, I can imagine Henry James originating it in the throes of self-expression, and bringing out a word like 'high-browed, with a sort of gentle jerk, at the end of searching sentences which groped sensitively until they found the phrase.
