Mrs.
Cowperwood
,
who
was
before
her
secretaire
in
her
new
boudoir
,
lifted
her
eyebrows
.
"
You
know
,
Anna
,
I
sometimes
wish
that
Frank
's
business
did
not
compel
me
to
have
anything
to
do
with
them
.
Mrs.
Butler
is
such
a
bore
.
She
means
well
enough
,
but
she
does
n't
know
anything
.
And
Aileen
is
too
rough
.
She
's
too
forward
,
I
think
.
She
comes
over
here
and
plays
upon
the
piano
,
particularly
when
Frank
's
here
.
I
would
n't
mind
so
much
for
myself
,
but
I
know
it
must
annoy
him
.
All
her
pieces
are
so
noisy
.
She
never
plays
anything
really
delicate
and
refined
.
"
"
I
do
n't
like
the
way
she
dresses
,
"
observed
Anna
,
sympathetically
.
"
She
gets
herself
up
too
conspicuously
.
Now
,
the
other
day
I
saw
her
out
driving
,
and
oh
,
dear
!
you
should
have
seen
her
!
She
had
on
a
crimson
Zouave
jacket
heavily
braided
with
black
about
the
edges
,
and
a
turban
with
a
huge
crimson
feather
,
and
crimson
ribbons
reaching
nearly
to
her
waist
.
Imagine
that
kind
of
a
hat
to
drive
in
.
And
her
hands
!
You
should
have
seen
the
way
she
held
her
hands
--
oh
--
just
so
--
self-consciously
.
They
were
curved
just
so
"
--
and
she
showed
how
.
"
She
had
on
yellow
gauntlets
,
and
she
held
the
reins
in
one
hand
and
the
whip
in
the
other
.
She
drives
just
like
mad
when
she
drives
,
anyhow
,
and
William
,
the
footman
,
was
up
behind
her
.
You
should
just
have
seen
her
.
Oh
,
dear
!
oh
,
dear
!
she
does
think
she
is
so
much
!
"
And
Anna
giggled
,
half
in
reproach
,
half
in
amusement
.
"
I
suppose
we
'll
have
to
invite
her
;
I
do
n't
see
how
we
can
get
out
of
it
.
I
know
just
how
she
'll
do
,
though
.
She
'll
walk
about
and
pose
and
hold
her
nose
up
.
"
"
Really
,
I
do
n't
see
how
she
can
,
"
commented
Anna
.
"
Now
,
I
like
Norah
.
She
's
much
nicer
.
She
does
n't
think
she
's
so
much
.
"
"
I
like
Norah
,
too
,
"
added
Mrs.
Cowperwood
.
"
She
's
really
very
sweet
,
and
to
me
she
's
prettier
.
"
"
Oh
,
indeed
,
I
think
so
,
too
.
"
It
was
curious
,
though
,
that
it
was
Aileen
who
commanded
nearly
all
their
attention
and
fixed
their
minds
on
her
so-called
idiosyncrasies
.
All
they
said
was
in
its
peculiar
way
true
;
but
in
addition
the
girl
was
really
beautiful
and
much
above
the
average
intelligence
and
force
.
She
was
running
deep
with
ambition
,
and
she
was
all
the
more
conspicuous
,
and
in
a
way
irritating
to
some
,
because
she
reflected
in
her
own
consciousness
her
social
defects
,
against
which
she
was
inwardly
fighting
.
She
resented
the
fact
that
people
could
justly
consider
her
parents
ineligible
,
and
for
that
reason
her
also
.
She
was
intrinsically
as
worth
while
as
any
one
.
Cowperwood
,
so
able
,
and
rapidly
becoming
so
distinguished
,
seemed
to
realize
it
.
The
days
that
had
been
passing
had
brought
them
somewhat
closer
together
in
spirit
.
He
was
nice
to
her
and
liked
to
talk
to
her
.
Whenever
he
was
at
her
home
now
,
or
she
was
at
his
and
he
was
present
,
he
managed
somehow
to
say
a
word
.
He
would
come
over
quite
near
and
look
at
her
in
a
warm
friendly
fashion
.
