Her friend from Silliston shot at Janet an amused but fortifying glance and left them, going down to the tables.
Janet did not herself realize or estimate the innate if undeveloped sense of form she possessed, the artist-instinct that made her breathless on first beholding Silliston Common.
Maturin dwelt on her own past, on the little girl of six taken from her the year after her husband died, on her husband himself, once a professor here, and who, just before his last illness, had published a brilliant book on Russian literature which resulted in his being called to Harvard. They had gone to Switzerland instead, and Augusta Maturin had come back to Silliston.
You let me think, when I met you in Silliston that day, that you were a carpenter. I didn't know you'd written books." "You can't expect writers to wear uniforms, like policemen though perhaps we ought to, it might be a little fairer to the public," he said. "Besides, I am a carpenter, a better carpenter than a writer.." "I'd give anything to be an author!" she cried.
"But I've never been here before, to Silliston," she responded in the same spirit: and she added wistfully, "it must be nice to live in such a beautiful place as this!" "Yes, it is nice," he agreed. "We have our troubles, too, but it's nice." She ventured a second, appraising glance.
"I know nothing about them, although we have a professor who does. Think over what I've said about coming to Silliston. It will do you good you are working too hard here. I know you would enjoy Silliston. And Brooks takes such an interest in you," she added impulsively. "It is quite a compliment." "But why?" Janet demanded, bewildered. "Perhaps it's because you have possibilities.

I felt something of the kind when I suggested her establishing herself in Silliston. Well, she's more than worth while experimenting on, she must have lived and breathed what you call the `movie atmosphere' all her life, and yet she never seems to have read and absorbed any sentimental literature or cheap religion. She doesn't suggest the tawdry.
She, too, paused to let her gaze linger upon Insall laughing and chatting with the children as they ate. "He has such a splendid, `out-door' look don't you think? And he's clever with his hands he bought an old abandoned farmhouse in Silliston and made it all over himself until it looks as if one of our great-great-grandfathers had just stepped out of it to shoot an Indian only much prettier.
