Showing vast, hollow spaces, and the sleet

I get on charmingly with the English
nobility and sufficiently well with the
gentry, but the upper servants strike
terror to my soul. There is something
awe inspiring to me about an English
butler, particularly one IN imposing
livery. When Icall upon Lady de Wolfe,
say to myself impressively as I go up
the steps: "You are as good as butler,
as well born and well bred as butler,
even more intelligent than butler
Now, simply because he has an unap-
proachable hautiness of demeanor, which
. you can respectfully admire, but can
never hope to initiate, do not cover be-
meath the polar light Of his eye; assert
yourself: be woman; be an American
citizenf' All in vain.
