'' Olive dressed herself leisurely when they had left her , and unpacked her clothes and her little store of books . Her cousins , coming to fetch her soon after six o'clock , found her ready to go out , but so absorbed in a guide-book of Siena that she did not hear Maria 's knock at the door . She had resolved that she would apply art and archæology as plasters to the wound life had given her already . She would stay her heart 's hunger with moods and tenses , but not of the verb '' _ amare _ . '' Learning and teaching , she might make her mind lord of her emotions .
