In all emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to her cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind...She never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer...Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as hers. And yet there was but one man to her, and he was that man."
