"He may not know it but he can lead men where they wouldn't go for his merely sending them." "I suppose it was his modesty," suggested Gladys. "Modesty's a good deal of a vice, especially in a leader," replied Olivia. There was an hour of dullness routine business, reports of committees, wearisome speeches. But, like every one of those five thousand people, Pauline was in a fever of anticipation.
Joel came to a jerky halt and stood open-mouthed. "Dress-goods must be getting expensive." Having convinced himself that his eyes had not deceived him, Joel relieved his feelings by heavy sarcasm. "It's a pity you can't afford cloth enough to cover you. I guess it's true that modesty's getting to be a lost art when a woman of your age will flaunt around " The goaded Persis spoke to the point.
