But, Anne, have you nothing to say? Is this your gratitude for all Thomas's martyrdoms of readings of I know not what unimaginable nonsense; and holdings of skeins of silk, more difficult to unwind than the labyrinth through which Ariadne's thread conducted Theseus; and pickings up of whatever your feminine carelessness chose to drop on the carpet; and endurance of all the legions of annoyances with which young ladies delight to harass young gentlemen?
He means to stay on the Hard till we're gone. He's a very suspicious man." Mr. Hurley was indeed lingering just beyond the immediate range of the Ariadne's lamps. "Can't come! What a pity! What a pity!" murmured Mr. Gilman, with an accent that was not a bit sincere. The news was the best he had heard for hours. "But I suppose," he added, "we'd better sail just the same, as I've said we should?"
"But I can't stand this! to hate and be hated! I can not bear it! I must do something but what? but what?" Once she feared she had screamed out these ever-recurring words, so audibly like a cry of agony did they ring in her ears; but, forcing herself to an instant's immobility, she heard Ariadne's light, regular breathing continue undisturbed.
No, I will take no leave. My Dorigen, Yonder, above, 'bout Ariadne's crown. My spirit shall hover for thee. Prithee, haste. Dor. Stay, Sophocles with this, tie up my sight; Let not soft nature so transformed be, And lose her gentler sexed humanity, To make me see my lord bleed.

So to thee too shall be thanks from the gods, if thou wilt save so mighty an array of chieftains.

We were plotting mischief in the shadow of the Ariadne's anchors, right in the eyes of the ship.
It's whether we can save any! How dirty lace curtains get! It must be the soft coal yes, it is a life and death struggle I must see to Ariadne's underwear. It is too warm for these sunny days. Oh! Oh! Paul and I have quarreled! And what about! About such sickeningly trivial things how badly 'Stashie dusts!
The Greeks knew better when they flung Ariadne's crown among the stars, and wrote Demeter's grief on a barren earth, and Persephone's joy in the fruitful field. For the earth is gathered up in man; he is the whole which is greater than the sum of its parts.
Gilman responded to the challenge. "I suppose I do," he said modestly. "We must have a dance on deck one night. I'll tell my secretary to get the gramophone into order. I have a pretty good one." "How lovely!" Audrey agreed. "I do think the Ariadne's the most heavenly thing, Mr. Gilman! I'd no idea what a yacht was!
