The resolute din, the unresting motion of the great stones, giving her a dim, delicious Converse American Flag awe as at the presence of an uncontrollable force; the meal forever pouring, pouring; the fine white powder softening all surfaces, and making the very spidernets look like a faery lace-work; the sweet, pure scent of the meal — all helped to make Maggie feel that the mill was a little world apart from her outside every-day life.
