Some day when you have become a gray-haired and very dignified judge you may come out and dine with us again. You can then smoke your cigar under a tree which you helped to plant." "Certainly, Miss Banning. With such a prospect, how could you doubt that I was enjoying myself? What suggested the judge? My present appearance?"
A glass was placed in the hands of Miss Ella B. Banning, daughter of the president, who then christened the engine, saying: "With the waters of the Pacific Ocean in my right hand, and the waters of Lake Superior in my left, invoking the Genius of Progress to bring together, with iron band, two great commercial systems of the globe, I dedicate this engine to the use of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, and name it William L. Banning."
And yet, at heart she knew that to be already looking forward, banning the present, was a bad sign. One thing, at all events, she enjoyed sailing. They had blue days when even the March sun was warm, and there was just breeze enough.
The vices and the virtues do not understand the names by which we call them, and undertake to command them. Those are not the names in that 'infinite book of secrecy' which they were taught in. They find a more potent order there. And thus it is, that the demons of human life go abroad here still, impervious alike to our banning and our blessing.

There are several others, all carefully sketched and with a certain wit that proves Schnitzler is as fair to his coreligionists as to the Gentiles. Let me hasten to add that there is nothing that would cause offence to either race throughout the piece. Its banning in Austria is therefore a mystery to me, as it must have been to the author.
But Minturn did not get weary apparently, and under this new division of the toil the number of holes grew apace. "Sakes alive, Mr. Minturn!" ejaculated Mr. Banning, "one would think you had been brought up on a farm." "Or at ditch-digging," added the young man. "No; my profession is to get people into hot water and then make them pay roundly to get out. I'm a lawyer. Times have changed in cities.
So, even in that tiny old-world hamlet, murder and lust could stalk hand in hand. He shuddered. Why did such a hateful vision trouble him? Resolutely banning the raven-winged specter, he slid back down the ledge and gently wakened Iris. She sat up instantly and gazed at him with wondering eyes. Fearful lest she should forget her surroundings, he placed a warning finger on his lips.
