Miriam looked, eagerly listening, into the brown eyes that came round to meet hers, smiling: "A little land, well-tilled, A little wife, well-willed, Are great riches."

Sometimes he flashed in a night through four or five such circles. He hung of late afternoons over bars, exchanging that brainless but well-willed talk by which men of his sort come to know men. He sat beside roped rings to witness the best muscle of the world and not the worst brain revive in ten thousand men the primeval brute.
It filled her with fury to be regarded as one of a world of little tame things to be summoned by little men to be well-willed wives. She must make him see that she did not even recognise such a thing as "a well-willed wife." She felt her gaze growing fixed and moved to withdraw it and herself. "Why do you wear glasses, mademoiselle?" The voice was full of sympathetic wistfulness.
