The public did not understand him, but he either did not know it or did not care As he did not point out Tevkin to me, I concluded that the Hebrew poet was not at the café "Do you know Tevkin?"

In life he had been a commonplace-looking man, not to say vulgar; now Burleigh, with a feeling of nausea, drew back toward the door, until the body was hidden by the table, and relieved from the sight, he could think more clearly.

She remembered her astonishment as a girl when, having laughed and cried at the play, and taken the chief actor as her ideal hero, she had had him pointed out to her one day in Regent Street, and found him to be a most commonplace-looking man, the very last person one would have supposed capable of stirring the hearts of a great audience. Meanwhile dinner progressed, and Mrs.
