There was something half attractive, half repellent in the thought of this vulgar woman journeying to places he loved and revered. But why should she not be transfigured by her journeys? The same had happened to the Goths!When a man or woman is "neither wellbred, nor wellconnected, nor handsome, nor clever, nor rich," what chance does he or she have for success, in turnofthecentury England at least in that portion of London society almost ridiculously proper and wellbehaved? The Philistines, the vulgar, the ones talented in making absurd impressions when in public . . . could they do well for themselves? Horrid thought!
