"Do you call Madame d'Etaples's 'bal blanc' a folly?"

I followed her round the cloister, and when the coast was clear, said, 'Hist, Madonna. She turned and looked at me with her eyes wide open. They are handsome eyes for a Sienese woman. That I allow. She said, 'Do you call me? Says I, 'I do. She says, 'Well? I reply, 'He is well if you are. 'Who, then? says she. I say, 'Your lover. This makes her jump like a flea on the bed.

This trench they call, as they do the heavens, Mundus; making which their center, they described the city in a circle round it.

A feeling came over him of bitter self-contempt, hitherto strange to him; and he understood for the first time how Philip could regard life as a burden and call it a malicious Danaus-gift of the gods.
