From one of the characters of this novel, after parting company with the heroine: "'Jove ' he muttered, doffing his cap gallantly. 'There is a woman ' And a sudden hunger seized him, and a yearning to see himself mirrored always in the gray eyes of Frona Welse. He was not analytical; he did not know why; but he knew that with her he could travel to the end of the earth."
