FIDELIA
The lecture was not like any other. How could it be? The lecturer was human and had to glance again and again toward that glory on the edge of the sunlight which was a girl slightly bent over while she wrote his words. The boys on the other side of the room looked toward the sunlight often. Lan did and so did David. And to Alice, at least, there was a difference in their glance. When Lan looked at Fidelia Netley, Myra was not disturbed at all; he used often to look over at the girls. But when David looked, Alice went weak; usually in this class, as in the other, Dave never gazed toward the girls.
