And, alas for him! he had laid up no other treasures. None in heaven; none in the hearts of his wife and children; none in his own mind.
Sometimes, being in her robes of state, crusted with gems, crowned, coifed, ringed, she looked like nothing so much as a stiff doll-goddess set in glass over an altar. It was thus she showed her best, when with fixed eyes and a frigid smile she stood above the court, an unapproachable glittering star set in the clear sky of a night to give men hopes of an ordered heaven.

She threw him a few more kindly smiles from time to time, as one might throw some glittering things to an eager child, and every moment assured her of her power.
Twenty yards away, the pilot moved feebly. He had knocked his head against some part of his machine. A moment later he opened his eyes and stared about. The next instant he had seen Tommy and moved convulsively. A glittering thing appeared in his hand and Tommy fired.

Janus Dousa turned his back on the boy, waved a farewell to the musician, and went away. Young Adrian hurried down the Werffsteg, which had given his family its name.
