Every
word
,
every
allusion
,
every
note
of
his
agreeably
-
modulated
voice
,
gave
Anna
a
glimpse
of
a
society
at
once
freer
and
finer
,
which
observed
the
traditional
forms
but
had
discarded
the
underlying
prejudices
;
whereas
the
world
she
knew
had
discarded
many
of
the
forms
and
kept
almost
all
the
prejudices
.
452
In
such
an
atmosphere
as
his
an
eager
young
woman
,
curious
as
to
all
the
manifestations
of
life
,
yet
instinctively
desiring
that
they
should
come
to
her
in
terms
of
beauty
and
fine
feeling
,
must
surely
find
the
largest
scope
for
self
-
expression
.
Study
,
travel
,
the
contact
of
the
world
,
the
comradeship
of
a
polished
and
enlightened
mind
,
would
combine
to
enrich
her
days
and
form
her
character
;
and
it
was
only
in
the
rare
moments
when
Mr
.
Leath
s
symmetrical
blond
mask
bent
over
hers
,
and
his
kiss
dropped
on
her
like
a
cold
smooth
pebble
,
that
she
questioned
the
completeness
of
the
joys
he
offered
.

There
had
been
a
time
when
the
walls
on
which
her
gaze
now
rested
had
shed
a
glare
of
irony
on
these
early
dreams
.
In
the
first
years
of
her
marriage
the
sober
symmetry
of
Givre
had
suggested
only
her
husband
s
neatly
-
balanced
mind
.
It
was
a
mind
,
she
soon
learned
,
contentedly
absorbed
in
formulating
the
conventions
of
the
unconventional
.
West
Fifty
-
fifth
Street
was
no
more
conscientiously
concerned
than
Givre
with
the
momentous
question
of
what
people
did
;
it
was
only
the
type
of
deed
investigated
that
was
different
.
Mr
.
Leath
collected
his
social
instances
with
the
same
seriousness
and
patience
as
his
snuff
-
boxes
.

He
exacted
a
rigid
conformity
to
his
rules
of
non
-
conformity
and
his
scepticism
had
the
absolute
accent
of
a
dogma
.
He
even
cherished
certain
exceptions
to
his
rules
as
the
book
-
collector
prizes
a
defective
first
edition
.
The
Protestant
church
-
going
of
Anna
s
parents
had
provoked
his
gentle
sarcasm
;
but
he
prided
himself
on
his
mother
s
devoutness
,
because
Madame
de
Chantelle
,
in
embracing
her
second
husband
s
creed
,
had
become
part
of
a
society
which
still
observes
the
outward
rites
of
piety
.

Anna
,
in
fact
,
had
discovered
in
her
amiable
and
elegant
mother
-
in
-
law
an
unexpected
embodiment
of
the
West
Fifty
-
fifth
Street
ideal
.
Mrs
.
Summers
and
Madame
de
Chantelle
,
however
strongly
they
would
have
disagreed
as
to
the
authorized
source
of
Christian
dogma
,
would
have
found
themselves
completely
in
accord
on
all
the
momentous
minutiae
of
drawing
-
room
conduct
;
yet
Mr
.
Leath
treated
his
mother
s
foibles
with
a
respect
which
Anna
s
experience
of
him
forbade
her
to
attribute
wholly
to
filial
affection
.
456
In
the
early
days
,
when
she
was
still
questioning
the
Sphinx
instead
of
trying
to
find
an
answer
to
it
,
she
ventured
to
tax
her
husband
with
his
inconsistency
.

You
say
your
mother
won
t
like
it
if
I
call
on
that
amusing
little
woman
who
came
here
the
other
day
,
and
was
let
in
by
mistake
;
but
Madame
de
Chantelle
tells
me
she
lives
with
her
husband
,
and
when
mother
refused
to
visit
Kitty
Mayne

Mr
.
Leath
s
smile
arrested
her
.
My
dear
child
,
I
don
t
pretend
to
apply
the
principles
of
logic
to
my
poor
mother
s
prejudices
.

But
if
you
admit
that
they
are
prejudices
?
