Even my noble steed must have beheld the apparition, for I felt him start and rear under me. I saw you no more the world no more I saw only the angel-face of Aslauga close before me, smiling, blooming like a flower in a sea of sunshine which floated round her. My senses failed me.
In about half an hour, Jane came up very quietly with Willy, my dear little, curly-haired, angel-face boy, in her arms. He had fallen asleep, and she had, with her utmost strength, carried him up-stairs.
I waited in silence till he had controlled himself. "Think," he went on, "think of what I must have suffered at looking always on that hideous vision whenever I looked on my betrothed wife! Think of my taking her hand, and seeming to take it through the figure of the apparition! Think of the calm angel-face and the tortured specter-face being always together whenever my eyes met hers!
His stern eyes softened in a glance of father-love supreme. "Whose little girl are you?" he whispered, and, to that ancient query of parenthood, she gave the reply of childhood: "Daddy's." "Just for that, I'll offer the soldier a tremendous profit on Panchito. We'll see what his sentiment is worth." "Bet you a new hat, angel-face, you haven't money enough to buy him," Kay challenged.
I don't want the whole of New York to know about my engagement, and have somebody spilling the news to father, before I'm ready." "That's all right," said Lucille. "Archie can speak to him. There's no need for him to mention your name at all. He can just say there's a girl he wants to get a part for. You would do it, wouldn't you, angel-face?" "Like a bird, queen of my soul."

"That's just what I'm telling you," insisted Jimmy vehemently, excited beyond all reason by receiving even this small bit of sympathy. "I'm ill," he declared. No sooner had he made the declaration than he began to believe in it. His doleful countenance increased Aggie's alarm. "My angel-face," she purred, and she took his chubby cheeks in her hands and looked down at him fondly.
He had other gods before her the god of his art, the god of nature, the god of people as a spectacle. Frequently she had complained to him in this last year "you don't love me! you don't love me!" but he would answer, "oh, yes I do. I can't be talking to you all the time, Angel-face. I have work to do. My art has to be cultivated. I can't be making love all the time."
"Amid all our musical soul-feasts," he writes, "there always peeps out an angel-face, which more than resembles a certain Clara. Why art thou not with us? I also thought of thee then, Chiara, pure one, bright one, whose hands are stretched towards Italy, whither thy longing draws thee, but thy dreamy eye still turned to us." At length a sun-burst.
