The Beast in the Jungle

By: James, Henry

What determined the speech that startled him in the course of their encounter scarcelymatters, being probably but some words spoken by himself quite without intention-spoken as they lingered and slowly moved together after their renewal of acquaintance. Hehad been conveyed by friends an hour or two before to the house at which she was staying;the party of visitors at the other house, of whom he was one, and thanks to whom it was histheory, as always, that he was lost in the crowd, had been invited over to luncheon. Therehad been after luncheon much dispersal, all in the interest of the original motive, a view ofWeatherend itself and the fine things, intrinsic features, pictures, heirlooms, treasures of allthe arts, that made the place almost famous; and the great rooms were so numerous thatguests could wander at their will, hang back from the principal group and in cases wherethey took such matters with the last seriousness give themselves up to mysteriousappreciations and measurements.
