But up in these spacious solitudes all this disappeared. Away from the limitations that plagued and stung her, she would show at her best, and as I watched her moving about the Camp I repeatedly found myself thinking of a wild creature that had just obtained its freedom and was trying its muscles. BUT UP IN THESE SPACIOUS SOLITUDES ALL THIS DISAPPEARED AWAY FROM THE LIMITATIONS THAT PLAGUED AND STUNG HER SHE WOULD SHOW AT HER BEST AND AS I WATCHED HER MOVING ABOUT THE CAMP I REPEATEDLY FOUND MYSELF THINKING OF A WILD CREATURE THAT HAD JUST OBTAINED ITS FREEDOM AND WAS TRYING ITS MUSCLES
 markings ran on any one of the boulders that lay about the Camp. She looked just as wild and natural and untamed as everything else that went to make up the scene, and more than that I cannot say. Pretty, she was decidedly not. She was thin, skinny, dark-haired, and possessed of great physical strength in the form of endurance. She had, too, something of the force and vigorous purpose of a man, tempestuous sometimes and wild to passionate, frightening her mother, and puzzling her easy-going father with her storms of waywardness, while at the same time she stirred his admiration by her violence. A pagan of the pagans she was besides, and with some haunting suggestion of old-world pagan beauty about her dark face and eyes. Altogether an odd and difficult character, but with a generosity and high courage that made her very lovable. In town life she always seemed to me to feel cramped, bored, a devil in a cage, in her eyes a hunted expression as though any moment she dreaded to be caught. E WAS DRESSED OR HOW THE MARKINGS RAN ON ANY ONE OF THE BOULDERS THAT LAY ABOUT THE CAMP SHE LOOKED JUST AS WILD AND NATURAL AND UNTAMED AS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WENT TO MAKE UP THE SCENE AND MORE THAN THAT I CANNOT SAY PRETTY SHE WAS DECIDEDLY NOT SHE WAS THIN SKINNY DARK HAIRED AND POSSESSED OF GREAT PHYSICAL STRENGTH IN THE FORM OF ENDURANCE SHE HAD TOO SOMETHING OF THE FORCE AND VIGOROUS PURPOSE OF A MAN TEMPESTUOUS SOMETIMES AND WILD TO PASSIONATE FRIGHTENING HER MOTHER AND PUZZLING HER EASY GOING FATHER WITH HER STORMS OF WAYWARDNESS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SHE STIRRED HIS ADMIRATION BY HER VIOLENCE A PAGAN OF THE PAGANS SHE WAS BESIDES AND WITH SOME HAUNTING SUGGESTION OF OLD WORLD PAGAN BEAUTY ABOUT HER DARK FACE AND EYES ALTOGETHER AN ODD AND DIFFICULT CHARACTER BUT WITH A GENEROSITY AND HIGH COURAGE THAT MADE HER VERY LOVABLE IN TOWN LIFE SHE ALWAYS SEEMED TO ME TO FEEL CRAMPED BORED A DEVIL IN A CAGE IN HER EYES A HUNTED EXPRESSION AS THOUGH ANY MOMENT SHE DREADED TO BE CAUGHT
