The princess Nerovens de Morganore was missing, and two of her ladies in waiting: namely, Miss Angela Bohun, and the Demoiselle Elaine Courtemains, the former of these two being a young black sow with a white star in her forehead, and the latter a brown one with thin legs and a slight limp in the forward shank on the starboard side a couple of the tryingest blisters to drive that I ever saw.
Dante and Petrarch and Shakespeare and all those other ducks put fourteen lines in every blamed sonnet, for good measure." Hurt to the quick, the sensitive poet walked away. "How can you speak so!" cried Elaine, angrily. "Is not Mr. Perkins privileged to create a form?" "To create a form, yes," returned Dick, easily, "but not to monkey with an old one. There's a difference."
He could not in honour continue to visit this home where resided the woman he loved with a jealous daughter. Why jealous? What a puzzle, and what an absurd one! He helped Elaine to a seat on the wall and sat near her. For several minutes neither spoke. They were again facing the pool, which looked in the dusk like a cracked mirror. "It is not clear yet to me," murmured Elaine.
It interests us immensely, but we like to get away from it sometimes." Madame Kelnicort came up with another prospective partner, and Elaine delivered her ukase: one more dance and then back to the hotel. Without any special regret she made her retreat from the revel which Courtenay was enjoying under the impression that it was life and the young Russian under the firm conviction that it was not.
Under the long tulle veil, which almost covered her, with the symbolical orange flowers on her bright, light hair, in her white dress, with her downcast eyes and her graceful figure, Elaine looked to me like a Psyche, whose innocent heart was vowed to love.
Even in the earlier of the orchestral works, "Hamlet and Ophelia" and "Lancelot and Elaine" both written in Germany in the days when the genius of Wagner was an ambient and inescapable flame the writing is comparatively free from chromatic effects. On the other hand, he is far less audaciously diatonic than Richard Strauss. His style is, in fact, a subtle blend of opposing tendencies.
Elaine touched the shield lovingly, and murmured, 'The noblest knight in Arthur's court. 'You love Sir Lancelot, and will know where to find him, said Sir Gawaine. 'I will give you the diamond, and you shall fulfil the King's command. And Sir Gawaine rode away from Astolat, kissing the hands of the fair Elaine, and leaving the diamond with her.
Slowly the Dodge car proceeded through the streets up from the river front, followed by the taxicab, until at last the Dodge mansion, was reached. There Elaine and Aunt Josephine got out and Bennett stood talking with them a moment. Finally he excused himself reluctantly for it was now late, even for a lawyer, to get to his office.
'It repenteth me sorely, said Sir Lancelot, and he was heavy in spirit thereafter, and was eager to get whole again and to go away. In four or five days he made a plot with Sir Bors, that he should rise and clothe himself in his armour and get upon his horse, and in this way show to the hermit and to the maid Elaine that indeed and in truth he was strong enough to ride forth.
The captain was still explaining to the men just how the drag-hook worked when Elaine came up quietly on the deck. She stood spellbound as she heard him outline the details of the plot. Scarcely knowing what she did, she crouched back of a deckhouse and listened. Behind her, Del Mar and his men came along, cat-like.
