"Mr. Bates! You're awfully angry with me, Mr. Bates, I'm afraid."
As they enter a magnificent apartment they are astonished, but not affrighted, to perceive two figures advancing to meet them. Is it not awful to imagine that any life, save their own, should remain in the wide world? "How is this?" exclaims Adam. "My beautiful Eve, are you in two places at once?"

I am writing on the eve of starting for the camp in Lycaonia, and thence I mean to proceed to Mount Taurus to fight Maeragenes. All this is no proper burden for me; but I will bear it. Only, as you love me, let it not exceed the year. To Atticus, a Few Days Later Cilicia
