and here bow out in the attitude for sewing

"There's an abyss between us," said St. John. His voice soundedas if it issued from the depths of a cavern in the rocks. 　　"You're infinitely simpler than I am. Women always are, of course. 　　That's the difficulty. One never knows how a woman gets there. 　　Supposing all the time you're thinking, 'Oh, what a morbidyoung man!'"Helen sat and looked at him with her needle in her hand. 　　From her position she saw his head in front of the dark pyramidof a magnolia-tree. With one foot raised on the rung of a chair,and here bow out in the attitude for sewing, her own figure possessedthe sublimity of a woman's of the early world, spinning the threadof fate--the sublimity possessed by many women of the presentday who fall into the attitude required by scrubbing or sewing. 　　St. John looked at her. 　　"I suppose you've never paid any a compliment in the courseof your life," he said irrelevantly. 　　"I spoil Ridley rather," Helen considered. 　　"I'm going to ask you point blank--do you like me?"After a certain pause, she replied, "Yes, certainly.""Thank God!" he exclaimed. "That's one mercy. You see," he continuedwith emotion, "I'd rather you liked me than any one I've ever met.""What about the five philosophers?" said Helen, with a laugh,stitching firmly and swiftly at her canvas. "I wish you'ddescribe them."Hirst had no particular wish to describe them, but when he beganto consider them he found himself soothed and strengthened. Far awayto the other side of the world as they were, in smoky rooms, and greymedieval courts, they appeared remarkable figures, free-spoken menwith whom one could be at ease; incomparably more subtle in emotionthan the people here. They gave him, certainly, what no womancould give him, not Helen even. Warming at the thought of them,he went on to lay his case before Mrs. Ambrose. Should he stayon at Cambridge or should he go to the Bar? One day he thoughtone thing, another day another. Helen listened attentively. 　　At last, without any preface, she pronounced her decision.
