A tarnish of constraint that had recently spread over her intercourse with Capes vanished again. Somewhere you may stumble upon a clew to his identity. But at least it gave her more time. But we have got to talk upon indifferent themes until we have done with this blond young gentleman from Bavaria. There was a very white-faced youngster of eighteen who brushed back his hair exactly in Russell’s manner, and was disposed to be uncomfortably silent when he was near her, and to whom she felt it was only Christian kindness to be consistently pleasant; and a lax young man of five-and-twenty in navy blue, who mingled Marx and Bebel with the more orthodox gods of the biological pantheon.
