[Rhoda Fleming by George Meredith]@TWC D-Link bookRhoda Fleming CHAPTER XVI 15/19
Comfortable Youth thinks otherwise. The days at a well-ordered country-house, where a divining lady rules, speed to the measure of a waltz, in harmonious circles, dropping like crystals into the gulfs of Time, and appearing to write nothing in his book.
Not a single hinge of existence is heard to creak.
There is no after-dinner bill.
You are waited on, without being elbowed by the humanity of your attendants.
It is a civilized Arcadia.
