She, with an impetus from her own private fortunes, was to give the doctrine a recrudescence of interest by resolutely applying it to the status of women. We cannot follow her in detail from the point where she abandons the domestic sewing-basket to reappear smoking black cigars in the Latin Quarter.
Over by the table in the glowing circle of the shaded lamp, sat Marie, Cyril's wife, a dainty sewing-basket by her side. Her hands, however, lay idly across the stocking in her lap. As the music ceased, she drew a long sigh. What a perfectly beautiful wedding that was! she breathed. Cyril whirled about on the piano stool. "It was a very sensible wedding," he said with emphasis.
A sewing table, and a sewing-basket, spilling over with sheer linen in the French embroidery of which stuck a needle, tokened a woman's presence. By screen and veranda the blinding sunshine was subdued to a cool, dim radiance. The sheen of pearl push-buttons caught Grief's eye. "Storage batteries, by George, run by the windmill!" he exclaimed as he pressed the buttons. "And concealed lighting!"
"I don't know that even a wolf would tackle a lynx cat," he chuckled. Douglas looked from the beautiful woman around the homelike room. "You're a lucky chap, Charleton," he said suddenly. Mrs. Falkner had picked up her sewing-basket. "Nobody with a mind like Charleton's is so awful lucky," she said. "Ouch!" grinned Charleton, and lighted his pipe afresh. Douglas pondered on Mrs.
Alexandra put down her sewing-basket. "Nobody has come to me with such talk," she said decidedly. "Why need you listen? You know I would never consent to such a thing."

What possible purpose could an intruder have, for instance, in opening my sewing-basket or moving the dictionary two inches on the center table? Yet the feeling persisted, and on the second of August I find this entry in my journal: Right-hand brass, eight inches; left-hand brass, seven inches; carved-wood Italian five and three quarter inches each; old glass on mantelpiece seven inches.

His heart pressed like a dull pain in his chest. Dully, quietly, he went out to the fire again, and dully and quietly moved through the day.
