But now I often think of strife, and struggle, and war civil war: the stir of our cavalcade seems like the tramp of cavalry." "You indulge your imagination too much, dear Corisande. When you return to London, and enter the world, these anxious thoughts will fly." "Is it imagination? I should rather have doubted my being of an imaginative nature. It seems to me that I am rather literal.
