For a second or two he sat quite still, his eyes observing her with a look of ineffable pity, which might have increased her disorder had she perceived it.

At length I said, with that banality which too often surprises us in supreme moments: 'What is it? Do you know that your tie is under your ear? And as I uttered these words, my voice, breaking of itself and in defiance of me, descended into a tone which sounded harsh and inimical. 'Ah! he murmured, lifting his eyes to mine, 'if you turn against me to-night, I shall
He fell to studying the woman instead of attempting the banality of pointless speech. From the smooth gloss of her burnished hair, to the daintiness of her low, black brocaded shoes, she represented, so far as her physical and outward self were concerned, absolute perfection. No ornament was amiss, no line or curve of her figure other than perfectly graceful.

It might have been built for a poet or a novelist or just an ordinary muscular man who loved the water and the silences and the sense of being on the edge of the world. It was a bungalow of logs, roughly constructed and saved from utter banality by being almost completely clothed in wisteria.
