"What extraordinary eyes!" said Utterly. "They look like another pair of eyes I've seen recently." He frowned, but could not remember what eyes. "That is, their shape is the same. What color were they?"
"Basil had gray eyes."
"You surely must have known that he was wonderful!"
"He was bright," conceded Mrs. Lister.
"Was he a graduate of this college?"
"No."
"He must have traveled a great deal. He could not have written 'Roses of Pæstum' without having been at Pæstum, and one does not get to Pæstum without going through some other places. I think your father was extraordinarily wise to let him get his education in that way. Did he live abroad?"
"He was never abroad."
"He never saw Pæstum!"
"No."
