If he had gone to the other inn he might have had charming company: at his own establishment there was no one but an aesthetic German who smoked bad tobacco in the dining-room.
For I must tell you I have a rather arbitrary half-brother, who is one of those dreadful Realists, without a scrap of aesthetic feeling, and there is no controlling him." "Well," Manuel considered, "one cannot live forever among dreams, and death and fate must be encountered by all men. So we can but try." Now for a while the sombre eyes of Miramon Lluagor appraised them.

She consciously concentrated all her faculties on her prodigious opportunity for aesthetic growth, for appreciation of the fine and marvelous things about her.
