The stands overlooking the ground, of course, were varied in the shapes of towers, terraces, galleries, and pensile gardens, magnificently decorated with tapestry, pavilions, and banners. Every combatant proclaimed the name of the lady whose servant d'amour he was.

She inclined to French things, and she thought that this particular part a mere rough bit of the park could very well be laid out as a Petit Trianon. She could procure copies of the plans of Mique, and even have a Temple d'Amour. "I love to create," she said. "The place would not have amused me if everything had been complete, and if you will help me I shall be so grateful."

She did not even look at it again until she was ready to switch off the electric light, and try to sleep, after Kate had finished her ministrations. Then, once more, Mrs. May sniffed daintily at the "Parfait d'Amour," as a bird hovers near a tempting crumb thrown by a hand it fears. She wondered what flowers made up this sweetness, so different from any perfume she had known.

A man's coat-button dropped on the floor of a railway carriage, for instance, and a young woman who slyly picks it up silly little gage d'amour and kisses it when a considerate observer pretends not to be looking, and hides it away! Is that evidence, Major Mole?" "By the Living Tinker!" he thundered, "I wouldn't have believed it of her!" "Of course you wouldn't!" She rummaged in an open suit-case.

He wondered restlessly whether the crafty Vatican spy had seen him while pretending not to see? If that were so, then he was lost!

Women's gowns on the flowing and Grecian order were not uncommon. These were usually coupled with the incongruity of parted hair brought low and madonna-wise over the ears. As the two entered, a very powerful blond man was just finishing the declamation of a French poem. He was addressing it directly at two women seated on a sofa. "Un r-r-reve d'amour!"

Many of his own love-longings were couched in the form of the dedications prefixed to his compositions. The piano sonata, Op. 7, was inscribed to the Countess Babette von Keglevics, later the Princess Odeschalchi, and is called for her sake "der Verliebte."
