I see I see yes that terrible red, green and gold! Oh! it's horrible bewildering fascinating red, green and gold! The three colours seem to obsess her always at nightfall. That is what Doctor Moroni told me." I paused for a few moments. "You've never heard her speak of Mr. De Gex? You're quite sure?" "Quite," was Mrs. Alford's reply.

The way he turned and stared about him betrayed a familiarity with other things than those he had described to us. It was not merely a sight of fire he looked for; it was a sight of something alive, intelligent, something able to evade his searching; it was a person. It was the watch for the ancient Being who sought to obsess him. And the way in which Dr.
There is, indeed, often something of the small man about Erasmus, who is hampered by greatness and therefore shuns the great, because, at bottom, they obsess him and he feels them to be inimical to his being.
