The winter slipped away, melting into spring, and Cis had not left / Beaconhite. Increasingly interested in her completely transformed life, / growing daily fonder of Miss Braithwaite, Cicely continued to serve / Mr. Lucas happily in his office, finding the great matters constantly / beneath her fingers more and more intriguing, going at night back into / that peacefully beautiful house, into its books, its charming talk, its / lofty ideals.
"I'm getting nicer and nicer! " Cis mocked herself one night in her own / room, before her mirror. It was perfectly true; she was "getting nicer" / and was becoming something far more than her adjective conveyed.
