The lady Charmian need only remind him of them, and Aisopion spice the allusion with a jest. I'll give my nose true, it's only a small one, but everybody values that feature most if they don't persuade him to leave that horrible crow's nest in the middle of the sea. They must remind him of the twins and little Alexander; for when he permits me to talk about them his brow smooths most speedily.
Charmian, too, was the Queen's confidante; and if the manner of Iras and Alexas had alarmed her, Charmian's might well inspire confidence. All these thoughts darted through her brain with the speed of lightning.
Susan Fleet is here!" Mrs. Mansfield knew at once that she had broken in upon a confidential interview, not by Miss Fleet's demeanor, but by Charmian's. But she did not show her knowledge. She sat down and joined pleasantly in the talk. She had often seen Miss Fleet in London, but she did not know her well. At once she realized that Charmian had found an excellent friend.
Your thought is part of my thought, your feeling is part of mine. You are nothing but a drop in me and I am the ocean." Charmian felt as if she were struggling against this attempt of the audience to take possession of her, were fighting to preserve intact her independence, her individuality.
Perhaps Mark Antony will arrive in a few hours." "And will you meet the disheartened hero in this mood?" interrupted Charmian. "He does not wish to be received," answered Cleopatra bitterly. "He even refused to let me greet him, and I understand the denial.
And for fear that the idea may still lurk in some minds that my preceding years of drinking were the cause of my disabilities, I here point out that my Japanese cabin boy, Nakata, still with me, was rotten with fever, as was Charmian, who in addition was in the slough of a tropical neurasthenia that required several years of temperate climates to cure, and that neither she nor Nakata drank or ever had drunk.
Surely this was the sweet goddess herself, and I the wondering shepherd on Mount Ida's solitude. "Charmian!" said I again, "you have come then?" With the words I rose. "You have come, then?" I repeated. But now she sighed a little, and, turning her head away, laughed very sweet and low and sighed again. "Were you expecting me?" "I I think I was that is I I don't know!" I stammered.

"I'm not homesick!" said Cornelia, angry that she should be so and that she should be denying it. "Mine," said the other, "died while I was a baby. She had Indian blood," she added in the same way in which she had said her name was Charmian. "Did she?" Cornelia asked.
Margot really is rather a humbug!" "Still, she admires the right thing when she admires Sennier's talent," said Claude, with a sort of still decision. Charmian turned her eyes away from the fire and looked at him. "How odd you are!" she said, after a little pause. "Why? In what way am I odd?" "In almost every way, I think. But it's all right. You ought to be odd." "What do you mean, Charmian?"
It has already scattered to the four winds many a well-considered plan of the wisest heads, and an Iras could never be more fatal to statecraft than just at the present moment, had not Fate already uttered the final verdict."
