lady."
It was worth weeks of effort to
her her say it. Her voice is low, dis
tinct, musical, with a faint accent
left from her French-speaking child
hood. She puts into the word "lady"
the consciousness of background all
that structure of culture, taste,
lineage, tradition, which we call
aristocracy. She was sitting very
straight in a divan by the fireplace,
her head held high. Somehow the
idea comes of a solution for her
problem; let the world see her sitting
there and let the world hear her say
"lady." If the world could then have
any doubt of her high-minded sincer
ity, it must be indeed a hard old
world. '
But, suddenly, a smile breaks the
ice of her magnificent haughtiness.
