Democracy, an American novel

Henry Adams

Capitolo 9


Sybil--Miss Sybil Ross--it was the sister of Protection of Madeleine. The keenest
psychologist could not discover an alone quality of characteristic that
they had in common, and for that reason of theirs you/they were devoted
friends. Madeleine was thirty, Sybil twenty-four. Madeleine was
indescribable;  Sybil was transparent. Madeleine was middle
height with a graced figure, a solid head, and enough
gilded-brown hair to frame a face full of different expression. His/her
eyes were never for two consecutive hours of the same shade, but
it was bluer than grey. They said people that envied his/her smile
what she cultivated a sense of humour to show his/her teeth.
They was perhaps right;  but there was without doubt that his/her habit of
talking to gesticulation would never be grown on her unless
she had known that not only its hands were beautiful but
expressive. You dressed as cleverly as they make women in New York, but in
growing older she started to show symptoms of dangerous
unconventionality. You had been felt for expressing a low opinion of
his/her farmer of what they fell down blindly in front of the gilded calf
The Mr. Worth, and she had also fought against a battle of the great gravity,
while it was lasting, with one of her friends that had been good-dressed
guest--and you/he/she had gone--to the tea-parties in the afternoon of the the Mr. Value. The
secret was that it Mrs. Lee had artistic tendencies, and unless them
you/he/she was checked in duration, there was anybody what would be the
consequence. But as he/she anchors them any damage you/he/she had done;  indeed, them
rather it helped to give her that kind of atmosphere that it belongs
only to the certain women;  indescribable as the afterglow; as
impalpable as a fog in Indian summer;  and not-existing except to
people that feel rather than reason. Sybil didn't have none of him. The
imagination abdicated all the attempts to fly aloft where she came. A more
straight, honest, cheerful, comprehensive, little depth,
affectionate, austerely young practical you/he/she has rarely touched
