He was silent, and she added, with one of her mocking gestures: "You see from what a milieu you are taking her!" Durham groaned. "She will never give up her son!" "How can she help it? After you are married there will be no choice." "No but there is one now." "Now?"
Many a bashful man, thinking of Tom Titmouse, has become an acrobat in his determination to be lively and easy. He should remember the juste milieu, recommended by Shakespeare when he says, "They are as sick that surfeit with too much. As they that starve with nothing."
It might almost be asserted that everyone in America ultimately finds his proper social niche; that while many are excluded from the circles for which they think themselves adapted, practically none are shut off from their really harmonious milieu.
