Nothing at first thought seems more hopelessly remote from poetry than the country circus, with its lurid posters of the Giant Schoolgirl, the Petrified Man, and the Mermaid, all in strong sunlight; but the heart carries with it its own mood, and this flaring scene has undergone some indefinite transformation by the alchemy of genius, and it assumes the character of a fairy tale or Arabian Nights Entertainment imagined in the fantastic dreams of childhood.
Just at this time the prospects of James, which had seemed hopelessly dark, began to brighten. The danger which had unnerved him had roused the Irish people.

But I have an abhorrence of " "Quite right," said Paul, recovering himself; "I hate waste myself, but there is something I must tell you before "
It seemed more than likely short as the interval had been before they appeared in the sitting-room that Nugent had been advising Oscar, and had been telling him what to say.
