Oh, mother, mother! forgive these tears, I am weak.... He lies now, up-stairs, looking so beautiful like that boyish portrait, you remember, with the uplifted, solemn gaze only deeper, more peaceful and without the ardor.... "Darling mother, don't bother a bit about me. Eddy and Jack will help me in everything, all our friends are wonderful to us.

"Antigone is the least alarming of heroines." "I don't know about that," Sir Basil objected, folding a slice of bread and butter, "A bit gruesome, don't you think?" "Gruesome?"
