Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silence of Mrs. Harrold Ohn harrold walked to the rail of the steamer and stood looking thoughtfully into the green Waves. He was quite sure that the woman within the cabin was the most attractive he had ever seen. Each of his acquaintances on board was struck by her beauty and had spoken of it. There was something in her soft voice, something in her deep eyes, something in the repressed confidence which she appeared at times to give him and then withdraw, that irresistibly appealed to him. She possessed for him a fascination of manner and speech, as of person, combining with a certain foreign charm the native grace of his own country. In asserting this latter fact he fancied that his admiration had the stimulus of patriotism, smiling to think it a feeling which invariably inspired the American breast upon a homeward voyage. He had travelled enough to be able to compare her with the women of many countries, and he finally concluded that She most resembled those he had seen in Kentucky. He was not a Western man; he was a new-yorker born and bred, and a lawyer who, though yet of an age which experience calls young, was already high in the opinion and confidence of Wall Street.
