There was a play of colours upon it, such as one sees in illuminated Moorish halls, and I am almost afraid to say how much I was enraptured by a scene which has not its equal on the whole Norwegian coast, yet of which none of us had ever heard before.
The victims of my observation I have frequently wrapped in cloth of various colours, and have left them for a considerable time, but when I visited them I did not find that they partook of any of the colours, but uniformly were of a tarnished yellow, or greyish black, the colours they always assume when in a state of suffering and distress, and I never could succeed in making them take any other when in a situation of constraint.
The confusion of colours was preposterous, and showed an utter want of aesthetic sense. In fact, one may confess that the Lodge garden was only one degree removed from the vulgarity and prodigality of nature. There was no taste, no reserve, no harmony about that garden.

'You will find the best definition of it in the dictionary, if you are anxious to know, I said. 'That is evading my question. I begin to think you have a good deal of cowardice in your composition. You are afraid to show your colours.
The salon was a blaze of lights and many shifting colours. The fantastic crowd that trooped thither from the salle-
It is consoling to note that one of the rascals that signed that report, Dr London, was shortly afterwards exposed in his true colours and openly put to penance for adultery before he died in prison, where he lay for perjury. The report stated that the church was superfluous. It was the only true word written there. When a religion is destroyed, its temples are certainly superfluous.
