Sometimes they seem mere dolls like the figures in his own puppet-show and we can literally "see the puppets dallying." Jarno is a queer companion for a man to have. And what of the lady who, when she was asked whether she had ever loved, answered, "never or always"? Phillina is a very loving and an extremely vivacious wench.
