When we came to the sculpture-room it seemed to me that Mildred was more interested in sculpture than in painting, for she stopped suddenly before Rodin's "L'age d'arain," and I began to wonder if her mind were really accessible to the beauty of the sculptor's art, or if her interest were entirely in the model that had posed before Rodin.
Was not the survival of this fighting instinct proof that war was still needful to us? In the sculpture-room of an exhibition she came upon a painted statue of Bellona. Its grotesqueness shocked her at first sight, the red streaming hair, the wild eyes filled with fury, the wide open mouth one could almost hear it screaming the white uplifted arms with outstretched hands! Appalling! Terrible!
It was true: a life-sized statue of Sappho, signed 'Dolbiac, did in feet occupy a prominent place in the sculpture-room. Henry was impressed; so also was Tom, who explained to his young cousin all the beauties of the work. 'What else is there to see here? Henry asked, when the stream of explanations had slackened. 'Oh, there's nothing much else, said Tom dejectedly. They came away.
