Chapter XVI
If a fool be associated with a wise man all his life, he will perceive the truth as little as a spoon perceives the taste of soup.--_Buddhist Dhammapada_. "I can't think what takes you to Wilderleigh," said Lady Newhaven to Rachel. "I am always bored to death when I go there. Sybell is so self-centred." Perhaps one of the reasons why Lady Newhaven and Sybell Loftus did not "get on" was owing to a certain superficial resemblance between them.
