" Nothing what — ever,'' she answered with an urbanity that defied the suggestion of malice. Yet, now that she remembered, she had sweetly 76 WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC challenged one of a royal house for the like lapse into the vulgar tongue. A man should not be beheaded because of a what. So she continued more gravely : " The idea must be himself, all of him, born with him, the rightful output of his own nature, the thing he must inevitably do, or waste his life." She looked him honestly in... the eyes. She had spoken with the soft malice of truth, the blind tyranny of the just. She had meant to test him here and there by throwing little darts of satire, and yet he made her serious and candid in spite of herself. He did not concern her as a man of personal or social possibilities — merely as an active originality, who was kin to her in some part of her nature.
