"It's more like a dream than a reality, isn't it?" said he. "Too wonderful to be true. Makes me think of Alfred de Musset's 'Lucie. You remember the poem? "'Un soir, nous etions seuls, J'etais assis pres d'elle . .." Beatrice nodded. "Yes, I know!" she whispered. "How could I forget it? And to think that for a thousand years the moon's been shining just the same, and nobody "
"Sur ma lyre, l'autre fois Dans un bois, Ma main preludait a peine; Une colombe descend En passant, Blanche sur le luth d'ebene" "Mais au lieu d'accords touchants, De doux chants, La colombe gemissante Me demande par pitie Sa moitie Sa moitie loin d'elle absente!"
"I will, too. I have humbled myself enough. And I will go." "Oh, my God! Oh, do go, then! I shall be delighted!" "Very well, we shall see."

David fell silent after a while, stiffening under a presentiment which was soon realised. He heard his sister's wretched lot discussed with shouts of laughter the chances of Brenart's escape from the mistress he had already wearied of and deceived the perils of 'la Montjoie's' jealousy. 'Il veut bien se debarrasser d'elle mais on ne plaisante pas avec une tigresse! said one of the speakers.
Mari d'elle gropes his way to the edge of the bed and, puffing, sits down at his wife's feet. "Capital lying idle is pernicious," he goes on. "Why has business gone downhill in Russia? Because there is so much capital lying idle among us; they are afraid to invest it.
"Je suis alle hier passer le tantot chez Lewes, on a ete enchante de mes eaux-fortes. George Eliot s'est plainte de ne pas avoir assez cause avec moi a ma derniere visite, et m'a invite a prendre place a cote d'elle. Nous avons parle d'art, de litterature et d'elle meme.
