Some incredulity might have been excused in one who turned from that superb head, with its insolent youth and beauty, to the painted death-mask grinning there before it.

Why, if I were to answer all these questions I should have to write another book. And I'm tired, children, tired as grown-up people sometimes are, though not always with play.
