what tn do with hcrself-that was ;;r i,r,s,
she had formed. She gazed in wonder at tn,.
reality-a magnificent iigurc-a giri nhus,.
grand, pale, statuesque beauty was some

Every attitude the girl assumed Was full ui |
unconscious grace. She lid mol alf;..Fr {,

ay the same kind of thin.s. with the same {
mIics, III The same tone "a voice; thsv fol. ,
ow each other like sheep: hey seem right.
'hed 10 advance an opinion of their own,
