There is considerable emptiness in all this: he praises Laura's chastity, then grows impatient, then praises her again; adores her, calls her cruel, his goddess, his joy, his torment; he does not really want her, but in the vacuity of his feeling, thinks he does; calls her alternately the flat, abusive, and eulogistic names which mean nothing.
"Never do so again; but send Steve to me, if he is afraid to go to his father. Charlie had nothing to do with that; he wouldn't borrow a penny of a girl, don't think it. But that's the harm he does Steve, who adores him, and tries to be like him in all things. Don't say a word; I'll make it all right, and no one shall blame you." "Oh me!

LEICESTER. Your heart; your own inestimable self Soon will you feel yourself within the arms Of your young ardent husband, highly blessed; He will possess your heart without a rival. He is of royal blood, that am not I. Yet, spite of all the world can say, there lives not One on this globe who with such fervent zeal Adores you as the man who loses you.

"O John! now your penetration is at fault," laughs the wife; "she unconsciously adores her husband." "Well, I said she didn't know about it, and she does not. The awakening will have to come."
I wonder what he came for. He scarcely ever comes here. Did you like him?" "I didn't speak to him," said Maggie. "Of course he's only been here a little time. He's Mr. Warlock's only son. He's lived for years abroad and then the other day his aunt died and left him some money so he came home. His father simply adores him. They say but of course I don't know.
There he has paid away thousands and hundreds of francs. And my gentleman tells me that in a few months now he will be famous and rich " "Then you often see him?"
