The king's son was moving about the prison now, examining what he could see especially of the walls with his wonderful, proud eyes, and what he could not with whiskers and nose. He made no sound, of course not so much as a whisper; and when his sister joined him, they were simply intangible, half-guessed shapes, drifting there is no other word for it through the gloom.
At any rate, she had made him feel in some intangible way that it seemed to her a dishonourable thing to be writing anonymous attacks upon a body from whom you were asking, or intending to ask, exhibition space for your pictures and the chance of selling your work.

"Now, what can I say, and how can I describe to you, all you skeptical men sitting there with pipes in your mouths, the amazing sensation I experienced of holding an intangible, impalpable thing so closely to my heart that it touched my body with equal pressure all the way down, and then melted away somewhere into my very being?
He would let her see, all those six years of intangible ether- eal courtship, how little care he had for anything but as it bore upon the consummation.

There was nothing snobbish in their gatherings; shabby boys came, girls who had made their own little dimity dresses. It was the intangible, inexorable caste of the best boyhood, and Honor knew, comfortably, that her particular King could do no wrong. The rooting section had a special yell for Jimsy, when he had sped down the field to a touchdown or kicked a difficult goal.
"But it was very hard work, sir very hard indeed." "Yes, yes; so I suppose," said the Doctor thoughtfully; "and you have placed a problem before me, my boy, that I feel is as difficult to resolve.
