Her green eyes shone like emeralds when she curled boa-fashion about her mistress's white neck and looked down at the Poms. Lady O'Gara had come out on the steps to meet Eileen and had kissed her on each cold satin cheek, making a tender fuss about removing her wraps. Her coldnesses were easily dispelled. "Come right in, darling, and have some tea," she said fondly. "Why, you are perished!
Rylton, whilst dressing, tells himself he wishes to goodness he had been clever enough to make it up with his wife before going to bed last night. Nothing so horrid as little coldnesses, little bickerings before one's guests and Tita is so untutored that probably she will make it rather unbearable for him during breakfast.

It is so real that it makes me doubt the reality of everything else in the world, and it removes for an instant all sense of the jarring and inharmonious elements of life, the pitiful desires, the angers and coldnesses of fellow-mortals, the selfish claims of one's own timid heart and mind.
