Excerpt from The Torch

Presently she saw Professor Plow coming down the street with his long, swinging stride, and drew back behind the curtains. She dreaded a call that might result in another proposal for her hand. Even her present dullness was preferable to another argu ment with him on that subject, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his quick glance failed to detect her presence behind the swaying curtains.

She wondered, as often before, how a man with such a fine head and such an athletic frame could re main indifferent to the little touches that would make him an attractive, even a remarkable, figure. He was the most interesting personality she had met in the university town. She felt that a man of his force and personal magnetism ought to have risen higher than a college professorship, and ascribed his lack of worldly success to a lack of worldly sense.
