I fear that she will never be easy until the question is settled by actual trial. And will you believe it? the girl is determined in some way to test her supposition!" "Believe it, Euthymia? I can believe almost anything of Lurida. She is the most irrepressible creature I ever knew. You know as well as I do what a complete possession any ruling idea takes of her whole nature.
"What paper has had anything about it, Lurida? I have not seen or heard of its being mentioned in any of the papers." "You know that rather queer-looking young man who has been about here for some time, the same one who gave the account of his interview with a celebrated author?
She thought it was about time to talk over the general subject of the medical profession with her new teacher, if such a self-directing person as Lurida could be said to recognize anybody as teacher. She began at the beginning. "What is the first book you would put in a student's hands, doctor?" she said to him one day.
When Euthymia awoke in the morning, her course of action was as clear before her as if it bad been dictated by her guardian angel. She went straight over to the home of Lurida, who was just dressed for breakfast. She was naturally a little surprised at this early visit.
Lurida meant to send it the next morning, and in the mean time Euthymia had the night to think over what she should do about it. There is nothing like the pillow for an oracle. There is no voice like that which breaks the silence of the stagnant hours of the night with its sudden suggestions and luminous counsels.
For Lurida sex was a trifling accident, to be disregarded not only in the interests of humanity, but for the sake of art. "It is a shame," she said to Euthymia, "that you will not let your exquisitely moulded form be perpetuated in marble. You have no right to withhold such a model from the contemplation of your fellow-creatures.
No, I don't believe it is much more than an extreme case of shyness, connected, perhaps, with some congenital or other personal repugnance to which has been given the name of an antipathy." Lurida could hardly keep still while the doctor was speaking.
"The dwellers by Cedar Lake may find it an amusement to compare their own feelings with those of one who has lived by the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, by the Nile and the Tiber, by Lake Leman and by one of the fairest sheets of water that our own North America embosoms in its forests." Miss Lurida Vincent, Secretary of the Pansophian Society, read this paper, and pondered long upon it.
There can't be much in those colors to trouble him, I should think, for his man wears a black coat and white linen, more or less white, as you must have noticed, and he must have seen ribbons of all colors often enough. But Lurida believes it was the ribbon, or something in the combination of colors. Her head is full of Tarantulas and Tarantism.
Maurice Kirkwood, Lurida? You seem to be so busy writing, I can think of nothing else. Or are you going to write a novel, or a paper for the Society, do tell me what you are so much taken up with." "I will tell you, Euthymia, if you will promise not to find fault with me for carrying out my plan as I have made up my mind to do.
