...that is Past to the Age that is Going Before. Far back in the mists of time Seniors, who once occupied the Yard, found their way from building to building by an instinct developed through long practice, not to mention an aptitude inherited from Cambridge ancestors plus a trace of Indian blood. But modern steam-heated life has dulled the senses; scholars today come not only from Cambridge and vicinity but also from Nebraska and Indo-China. Strangely enough, it is difficult for a Middle Westerner gazing with deep foreboding at the ghastly gray pile before him to know with...
...power of the evangelists over the whole Southern mind was so great that "skepticism . . . was anathema, and lack of frenetic zeal was . . . heresy." In such a mind pure hedonism and iron puritanism could lie down together without fighting over the blankets -and without, as Cash repeatedly points out, a trace of conscious hypocrisy.

Dexter Haven shows his broad mind to Tracy by admitting: "You could marry Mac, the night watchman, and I'd cheer you." The parvenu coal executive is first ridiculed because his riding habit is new and clean "like something right out of a store window." Contempt for his kind is expressed by Haven's: "A splendid chap, very high morals, very broad shoulders...
