Chapter X
"Yet what is that, when one thinks, but just what she struck one as more or less persuaded that she herself was really going to be?"--this memory, for the full view, Fanny found herself also invoking. It made her companion, in truth, slightly gape. "An incredible little idealist--Charlotte herself?" "And she was sincere," his wife simply proceeded "she was unmistakably sincere. The question is only how much is left of it."
