He had listened so often and so patiently to my affairs, that it seemed an odd reversal to have to play the confidant; and if now and then my thoughts wandered off to the coming month at Mondisfield, and pictured violet eyes while he talked of grey, it was not from any lack of sympathy with my friend.
Captain Rothesay started from his reverie at the sound of the child's voice. The tone, and especially the word, broke the spell. He felt once more that he was the father, not of the blooming little angel that he had pictured, but of this poor deformed girl. However, he was a man in whom a stern sense of right stood in the place of many softer virtues.
The KING seated, near him the INFANTA CLARA EUGENIA. No she is sure my daughter or can nature Thus lie like truth! Yes, that blue eye is mine! And I am pictured in thy every feature. Are not my features his? Away, away! I'm lost in this abyss. COUNT LERMA and the KING. LERMA. Her majesty is in the antechamber. KING. What! Now? LERMA. And begs the favor of an audience. KING. Now!
Horrible thoughts came into the father's mind. He pictured Bobs putting his hoof into a hidden crab-hole falling Norah lying white and motionless, perhaps far from the track. That was not the only danger. Bad characters were to be met with in the bush and the pony was valuable enough to tempt a desperate man such as the Winfield murderer, who was roaming the district, nobody knew where.
If she had touched Simon Fuge, Simon Fuge had touched her. She had memories. Once she had lived. I pictured her younger. I sought in her face the soft remains of youthfulness. I invented languishing poses for her in the boat. My imagination was equal to the task of seeing her as Simon Fuge saw her. I did so see her.
Not only was this lion, thus distinguished for so novel an ornament, copied into heraldry, but it adorned many city seals and town arms. In time, the lion of the Netherlands was pictured with a crown on its head, a sword in its right hand, a bundle of seven arrows in token of a union of seven states and, still later, the new Order of the Netherlands Lion was founded.
So there, on the one hand for so the whole matter pictured itself to his seeing was London, the type, as she is in fact the capital, of the modern world of its ambitions, material and social, of its activities, of its amazing association of pleasure and misery, of the rankest poverty and most plethoric wealth at once formless, sprawling, ugly, vicious, while magnificent in intelligence, in vitality, in display, as in actual area and bulk.
There were difficulties in the pursuit of matrimony of which Mr. Prosper had not thought. His imagination at once pictured to himself a bride with a bottle of gin under her pillow, and he went on shivering till Matthew almost thought that he had been attacked by an ague-fit. "I shall give it up, at any rate," he said, after a pause. "Of course you're a young man, sir." "No, I'm not."
It is the first time she has entered my house; and her first words, as she looked all around her with a wistful smile referred to the fact. "It is almost just as I have pictured it and I have pictured it do you know how often?" She was calmer, if not happier. The haggard expression had given place to one of resignation.
He reduced his speed to fifty and took up his thought: "Phew! Imagine little Paul's thoughts if I dared that drive with some charming girl!" He laughed at the fancy as he pictured it, for, most early in their marriage, he had gauged Paula's capacity for quiet jealousy.
