"Institutions?" Lawrence ventured.
"What, because we have a President, and you have a King? What difference should that make?"
"Then you see no difference? Am I like an American, now?"
"You are not like my father, certainly. But I do not know any American young men—except one. And I don't know him."
"That sounds very much like a riddle. Won't you be so good as to explain?"
"There is no riddle," said Dolly. "I knew him when I was at school, a little girl, and I have never seen him since."
"Then you don't know him now, I should say."
"No. And yet I feel as if I knew him. I should know him if we saw each other again."
"Seems to have made a good deal of an impression!"
"Yes, I think he did. I liked him."
