The House of Mirth

It was a Monday in early September, and he was returning to his work from ahurried dip into the country; but what was Miss Bart doing in town at that season?If she had appeared to be catching a train, he might have inferred that he had comeon her in the act of transition between one and another of the country-houseswhich disputed her presence after the close of the Newport season; but herdesultory air perplexed him. She stood apart from the crowd, letting it drift by herto the platform or the street, and wearing an air of irresolution which might, as hesurmised, be the mask of a very definite purpose. It struck him at once that she waswaiting for some one, but he hardly knew why the idea arrested him. There wasnothing new about Lily Bart, yet he could never see her without a faint movementof interest: it was characteristic of her that she always roused speculation, that hersimplest acts seemed the result of far-reaching intentions.
