I
do
n't
think
you
've
ever
met
her
,
but
I
wish
,
as
a
favor
to
me
,
you
'd
go
to
see
her
.
To
my
mind
,
she
's
rather
a
remarkable
woman
,
and
just
about
your
age
.
"
Amory
sighed
and
decided
to
go
,
as
a
favor
...
CLARA
She
was
immemorial
...
Amory
was
n't
good
enough
for
Clara
,
Clara
of
ripply
golden
hair
,
but
then
no
man
was
.
Her
goodness
was
above
the
prosy
morals
of
the
husband-seeker
,
apart
from
the
dull
literature
of
female
virtue
.
Sorrow
lay
lightly
around
her
,
and
when
Amory
found
her
in
Philadelphia
he
thought
her
steely
blue
eyes
held
only
happiness
;
a
latent
strength
,
a
realism
,
was
brought
to
its
fullest
development
by
the
facts
that
she
was
compelled
to
face
.
She
was
alone
in
the
world
,
with
two
small
children
,
little
money
,
and
,
worst
of
all
,
a
host
of
friends
.
He
saw
her
that
winter
in
Philadelphia
entertaining
a
houseful
of
men
for
an
evening
,
when
he
knew
she
had
not
a
servant
in
the
house
except
the
little
colored
girl
guarding
the
babies
overhead
.
He
saw
one
of
the
greatest
libertines
in
that
city
,
a
man
who
was
habitually
drunk
and
notorious
at
home
and
abroad
,
sitting
opposite
her
for
an
evening
,
discussing
girls
'
boarding-schools
with
a
sort
of
innocent
excitement
.
What
a
twist
Clara
had
to
her
mind
!
She
could
make
fascinating
and
almost
brilliant
conversation
out
of
the
thinnest
air
that
ever
floated
through
a
drawing-room
.
The
idea
that
the
girl
was
poverty-stricken
had
appealed
to
Amory
's
sense
of
situation
.
He
arrived
in
Philadelphia
expecting
to
be
told
that
921
Ark
Street
was
in
a
miserable
lane
of
hovels
.
He
was
even
disappointed
when
it
proved
to
be
nothing
of
the
sort
.
It
was
an
old
house
that
had
been
in
her
husband
's
family
for
years
.
An
elderly
aunt
,
who
objected
to
having
it
sold
,
had
put
ten
years
'
taxes
with
a
lawyer
and
pranced
off
to
Honolulu
,
leaving
Clara
to
struggle
with
the
heating-problem
as
best
she
could
.
So
no
wild-haired
woman
with
a
hungry
baby
at
her
breast
and
a
sad
Amelia-like
look
greeted
him
.
Instead
,
Amory
would
have
thought
from
his
reception
that
she
had
not
a
care
in
the
world
.
