Dalrymple found a respectable middle-aged German governess who came daily and spent most of the day with Gloria, teaching her and walking with her worshipping her, too, with that curious faculty for idealizing the very human, which belongs to German governesses when they like their pupils. Dalrymple led his own life.
It seemed as if nothing of all that he met in his daily life was common or unclean to him, for there was no mordant in his nature for what was coarse or vile, and all else he could not help idealizing into its own conception of itself, so to speak.
Here, look up," he took her bowed head tenderly between his hands and raised it, "look into my face; read it well interpret, and you will cease to idealize, mother." She wiped her eyes, half-smiling through her tears. "I'm not idealizing, Champney, and I didn't know I could be so weak; I think I think the telegram and your coming so unexpectedly "

It was Angelica herself!
I have always been wild to get into real Bohemian circles, meet authors and artists. We do lead the most provincial life. All circles should overlap the best of all, anyhow. That is the way I would remold society if I were rich and powerful " "Good heavens Alex, you are not idealizing this crowd we are going to meet to-night? They're just a lot of second and third raters "
But they refused to be dismissed; and now among them rose up another, dating back to that idealizing summer at the foot of Old Croydon, and having its genesis in a hard saying of her mother's.
