Arden: A Novel, Vol. 2 of 2
Excerpt from Arden: A Novel, Vol. 2 of 2
Meanwhile, the working at her picture brought her into constant contact with the people at the Farm. Gradually she became aware that, apart from the satisfaction of painting, there was a certain pleasure in going to the Williams's. They were always so glad to see her. There was no doubt that after the constrained, burdened, Silent life of the Bushes it was pleasant to listen to Susie's eager determined theories as she sat by Arden's side in the sun-shot orchard, her chin propped in her palm, appealing, indignant, throwing her whole heart into every question, moral, social, artistic; always turning her words into opinions, her Opinions into theories, her theories into combats, and in the strength and militance of her decision, ignoring the semi-accidental cause of it.
