Summary:
Drusilla asks Bayard to kiss her; he resists at first but eventually succumbs, and afterwards he thinks of "the woman of thirty, the symbol of the ancient and eternal Snake and of the men who have written of her" (228). He then thinks how the war had "tried to stamp all the women of her generation and class in the South into a type and how it had failed" (229).
