But at Athens he sought fervently and eagerly for the truth, and now he asserts that he has found it." "Here, among the Egyptians?" "In Alexandria among the Christians." "And the lame girl who accompanied the philosopher does she too believe in the crucified God?" "Yes. She is a sick-nurse or something of the kind. Indeed there is something grand in the ecstatic craze of these people."
All things were changed in England in a day or two. The things that had mattered no longer mattered. The Arming of Ulster and the Nationalists, Votes for Women, Easier Divorce, the Craze for Night Clubs had any of these questions any meaning now? A truce was called by the men who had been inflaming the people's passion to the point of civil war.
Alighting from Pyne's car at the door, they went up to the flat of the organizer of the opium party Mr. Cyrus Kilfane. One other guest was already present a slender, fair woman, who was introduced by the American as Mollie Gretna, but whose weakly pretty face Rita recognized as that of a notorious society divorcee, foremost in the van of every new craze, a past-mistress of the smartest vices.
But he had to have some hobby: it was a game to him, and he was always changing from one to another. For the time being his craze was for kindness. It was not enough for him to be kind naturally: he wished to be thought kind: he professed kindness, and acted it.

Subsequently the Herschels, senior and junior, systematized this idea; and then the wrath of Andrew, previously in a crescent state, actually dilated to a plenilunar orb.
Artistic and critical London had hailed him as a newcomer of promise, amounting to genius: and Lilámani Sinclair, daughter of Rajputs, had only escaped becoming the craze of the moment by her precipitate withdrawal to Antibes, where she had come within an ace of losing all, largely through the malign influence of Jane her evil genius during those wonderful, difficult, early months of marriage.
Though the artistic movement inaugurated years before by the Pre-Raphaelites was still laughed at and scorned by the many as a craze, a few had stood firm, and slowly the steadfast minority had begun to sway the majority as is often the case in democracies. Oscar Wilde profited by the victory of these art-loving forerunners.
Folly, you will think, but I know what I know, and now I must go. We will have another talk this evening, but about other matters. Yes, everybody in this world is a little crackbrained, but at least I don't bore other people. I only show my craze to intimate friends, and strangers who ask me once about the fore man Roland rarely do so a second time. The score, bar-maid There it is again.
