"Yes, very! I enjoy those rocks very much."
"You have no rocks at home?"
"No rocks," said Lois; "plenty of rock, or stone; but it comes up out of the ground just enough to make trouble, not to give pleasure. The country is all level."
"And you enjoy the variety?"
"O, not because it is variety. But I have been nowhere and have seen nothing in my life."
"So the world is a great unopened book to you?" said Philip, with a smile regarding her.
"It will always be that, I think," Lois replied, shaking her head.
"Why should it?"
"I live at Shampuashuh."
"What then? Here you are in New York."
