"You are not much like an infant," said his mother. "But we have seen places," she resumed, "that I should put a long way before Rome." And in reply to Winterbourne's interrogation, "There's Zurich," she concluded, "I think Zurich is lovely; and we hadn't heard half so much about it." "The best place we've seen is the City of Richmond!" said Randolph. "He means the ship," his mother explained.
"Neither am I for you! I am speaking for this young lady." Giovanelli lifted his well-shaped eyebrows and showed his brilliant teeth. But he took Winterbourne's rebuke with docility. "I told the signorina it was a grave indiscretion, but when was the signorina ever prudent?" "I never was sick, and I don't mean to be!" the signorina declared. "I don't look like much, but I'm healthy!
And her picture of the minutely hierarchical constitution of the society of that city, which she presented to him in many different lights, was, to Winterbourne's imagination, almost oppressively striking. He immediately perceived, from her tone, that Miss Daisy Miller's place in the social scale was low. "I am afraid you don't approve of them," he said. "They are very common," Mrs.
It's no good supposing that these poor starving people will wait for ever!" "Oh!" said Lady Winterbourne, and sat staring at her visitor. To those who knew its author well, the monosyllable could not have been more expressive. Lady Winterbourne's sense of humour had no voice, but inwardly it was busy with Lord Alresford as the "friend of the poor."

Marty declared that the trees began to 'sigh' as soon as they were put upright, 'though when they are lying down they don't sigh at all. Winterbourne had never noticed it.
There was always such a lovely breeze upon the water, and you saw such lots of people. The sail was not long, but Winterbourne's companion found time to say a great many things. To the young man himself their little excursion was so much of an escapade an adventure that, even allowing for her habitual sense of freedom, he had some expectation of seeing her regard it in the same way.

"Do you mean to say, Agneta, that one can't sympathise, in such an awful thing, with people of another class, as one would with one's own flesh and blood?" Miss Raeburn winced. She felt for a moment the pressure of a democratic world a hated, formidable world through her friend's question.
Lady Winterbourne's tragic eyes were once more considering Marcella. "I hope you will come and see me," she said at last abruptly "and Mrs. Boyce too." The voice was very soft and refined though so deep, and Marcella looking up was suddenly magnetised. "Yes, I will," she said, all her face melting into sensitive life. "Mamma won't go anywhere, but I will come, if you will ask me."
"Mamma, are you coming?" said a voice like a softened version of Lady Winterbourne's. Then something small and thin ran forward, and a girl's voice said piteously: "Dear Lady Winterbourne, my frock and my hair take so long to do! I shall be cross with my maid, and look like a fiend.
