He sat, his head back, his face bathed in the sun, smileless and dreaming.
No one followed, however, and a murmur of disappointment went round. "It is nobody but Kark!" Kark rose in his stirrups and waved his hand. He was of the commonest type of colorless blond, and coarse and ignorant of face; but his manners had the assurance of a privileged character. "It is more than Kark," he shouted. "It is news that is worth a hearing. Ho, for Greenland! Greenland in three days!"
The drawing-room was a big white square apartment with several big pictures and a pane of plate glass above the fireplace in the position in which one usually finds a mirror; this showed another room beyond, containing an exceptionally large, gloriously colored portrait in pastel larger than I had ever thought pastels could be. Except for the pictures both rooms were almost colorless.
Her outward manner was so very still and composed that when she spoke her colorless lips scarcely moved, her very breathing never stirred the silver crucifix that lay like a glittering sign-manual on her quiet breast. Her voice, though low, was singularly clear and penetrating. "I address the Count Oliva?" she inquired. I bowed in the affirmative.

We must admit, however, that many cannot maintain their weight and keep their full allowance of energy on a vegetarian diet.
