Explore "Love of Brothers" by Katharine Tynan on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A friendship had sprung up between Mrs. Horridge and Mrs. Wade, as Sir Shawn had said -- a curious friendship, not altogether equal, for Mrs. Wade had a certain amount of education and was curiously refined -- America had not altered her even to the extent of affecting her speech; and that was a very exceptional thing, for the returned Americans usually came with a speech altered out of all recognition.
When Lady O'Gara came into the little sitting-room at the cottage, having knocked with her knuckles and obtained no answer, she found Susan Horridge there. Susan stood up, making a little dip, took the boy's garment she had been mending and went away, while Mrs. Wade received her visitor with a curious air of equality. It was not such an equality as she might have learnt in the United States. There was nothing assertive about it. It was quite unconscious.
