a replica of that smile which had aroused
her curiosity in regard to Kitty. And then
her face grew serious.
KITTY had a mind like her fathers. Her
~ ideas were seldom ncbulous or slow in
forming. They sprang forth, full grown,
like those NEUROLOGICAL creatures. Minerva
was an idea of loves, as doubtless Venus
was an idea Of Neptune'S. Men with this
quality become Captains General Of armies
or Of money bags. In a man it signifies
force in a woman, charm.
Kitty searched diligently, and found the
object of her quest on the main deck, star
board, leaning against one Of the deck sup
ports and reading from a book that lay flat
on the broad teak rail, in a blue shadow.
The sea smiled at Kitty, and Kitty smiled at
the sea. Men are not the only adventures:
they have no monopoly on daring. And
what Kitty proposed doing was daring in
deed; for She did not know into what dan
gers it might eventually lead her.
