But she was so obviously beyond his reach, and besides so well able to take care of herself, that I think her parents gave the matter but little thought, and he himself worshipped at a respectful distance, keeping admirable control of his passion in all respects save one; for at his age the eyes are difficult to master, and the yearning, almost the devouring, expression often visible in them was probably there unknown even to himself. BUT SHE WAS SO OBVIOUSLY BEYOND HIS REACH AND BESIDES SO WELL ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF THAT I THINK HER PARENTS GAVE THE MATTER BUT LITTLE THOUGHT AND HE HIMSELF WORSHIPPED AT A RESPECTFUL DISTANCE KEEPING ADMIRABLE CONTROL OF HIS PASSION IN ALL RESPECTS SAVE ONE FOR AT HIS AGE THE EYES ARE DIFFICULT TO MASTER AND THE YEARNING ALMOST THE DEVOURING EXPRESSION OFTEN VISIBLE IN THEM WAS PROBABLY THERE UNKNOWN EVEN TO HIMSELF
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. 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. Peter Sangree, of course, at once went down before her.
