Danyers afterwards liked to fancy that he had recognized Mrs. Anerton at once; but that, of course, was absurd, since he had seen no portrait of her-she affected a strict anonymity, refusing even her photograph to the most privileged-and from Mrs. Memorall, whom he revered and cultivated as her friend, he had extracted but the one impressionist phrase: Oh, well, she's like one of those old prints where the lines have the value of color. He was almost certain, at all events, that he had been thinking of Mrs. Anerton as he sat over his breakfast in the empty hotel restaurant, and that, looking up on the approach of the lady who seated herself at the table near the window, he had said to himself, That might be she. Ever since his Harvard days-he was still young enough to think of them as immensely remote-Danyers had dreamed of Mrs. Anerton, the Silvia of Vincent Rendle's immortal sonnet-cycle, the Mrs. A. of the Life and Letters.
