When Kate and Densher abandoned her to Mrs. Stringham on the day of her meeting them together and bringing them to luncheon1, Milly, face to face with that companion, had had one of those moments in which the warned, the anxious fighter of the battle of life, as if once again feeling for the sword at his side, carries his hand straight to the quarter of his courage.
