Imogen's two brothers then carried her to a shady covert, and there laying her gently on the grass, they sang repose to her departed spirit, and covering her over with leaves and flowers, Polydore said: 'While summer lasts and I live here, Fidele, I will daily strew thy grave.

"How romantic that sounds," Madame Imogen chimed in. "Why, it's a name fit for a stage play I do think.
He gave me his brush, I mean his scalp-lock, afterward, and it now adorns " Here her amusement became ungovernable, and she went into fits of laughter, which Imogen's astonished look only served to increase. "Oh!" she cried, between her paroxysms, "you believed it all! it is too absurd, but you really believed it! I thought till just now that you were only pretending, to amuse me."
The words struck familiarly on Aunt Juley's ears. Ah! yes; that funny drawing of George's, which had not been shown them! But what did Imogen mean? That her uncle always wanted more than he could have? It was not at all nice to think like that. Imogen's voice rose clear and clipped: "Imagine! Annette's only two years older than me; it must be awful for her, married to Uncle Soames."
Sin Saxon understands; it's a bit of a secret as yet. I shall be so obliged!" Imogen's blue eyes sparkled and widened. It was just what she had been secretly longing for. But why in the world should Leslie Goldthwaite want to give it up? It had got crowded out, that was all.

Mrs. Upton and Sir Basil did not come back to lunch, and Imogen's face was somber indeed as she faced her guests at the table.
Is there no way for men to be, but women Must be half-workers? says Posthumus when he hears of Imogen's guilt.

Some coiner with his tools Made me a counterfeit; yet my mother seemed The Dian of that time; so doth my wife The nonpareil of this O vengeance, vengeance!
