Had he been mistaken in thinking that the unusual openness of his talk was attractive to her?

She was so much more self-possessed than of wont, and did not seem to treat him with the same deference, the same subdual of her own personality.
He was a good enough American for Jacobus Teunis Vandemark. The next day was a wedding-day the marriage morning of the plow and the sod. It marked the beginning of the subdual of that wonderful wild prairie of Vandemark Township and the Vandemark farm.
This afternoon he was going by train to Exeter, to buy some books. Again he strolled about with Nancy, and talked of idle things with an almost excessive amiability. As the girl listened, a languor crept upon her, a soft and delicious subdual of the will to dreamy luxury. Her eyes were fixed on the shadows cast by her own figure and that of her companion. The black patches by chance touched.
The girl found him this morning, at seven o'clock there. She pointed to the couch. 'You mean that he had taken an overdose by accident 'It must have been so.

If man by study of the conditions surrounding him and by the application of intelligence to the subdual of external nature, had already accomplished so much, why should not further persistence along the same road lead to his complete emancipation?
He was a ginger-headed Raffles by the end of January, and it was extraordinary what a difference it made. His most elaborate disguises had not been more effectual than this simple expedient, and, with khaki to complete the subdual of his individuality, he had every hope of escaping recognition in the field.
At dinner Alma behaved with the same friendliness, closely observing her guest, and listening to all she said, as if anxious not to miss a word. Mrs. Abbott conversed in a very low voice; her manner was marked by a subdual which might partly be attributable to weariness, but seemed in a measure the result of timidity under novel circumstances.
