She seemed at once alert and indifferent , contemplative and restless , and Longmore very soon discovered that if she was not a brilliant beauty she was at least a most attaching one . This very impression made him magnanimous . He was certain he had interrupted a confidential conversation , and judged it discreet to withdraw , having first learned from Maggie 's mamma -- Mrs. Draper -- that she was to take the six o'clock train back to Paris .
