What I am, is just a poor foolish woman, who has a lot more heart than she can manage with the amount of brains she got with it at birth. I'm not any star in a rose-coloured sky, and I don't want to inspire anybody; it's too heavy an undertaking. I want to be a healthy, happy woman and a wife to a man who can inspire himself and manage me.

Judith's dramatic sense asserted itself, and she frowned at Patricia's frivolous interruption of the portentous silence. "I am glad to see that you are better, Jaggard," he said, while standing by the bed. "I guessed as much," said the major once more. And it was well I did come to save Ruth Clinton from a dancing death, for she is as light as a feather and sails on the air like thistle-down. I felt sorry for Tom, for when he was with me he could see her, and when he was with her I pouted at him, even over Judge Wade's arm.
