"You mean, sir, what excuse do I offer for not being politely vicious as seems so much the fashion?" "I confess you puzzle me, boy, for you are anything but an angel in pantaloons. I have occasionally thought to remark in you a hint of unplumbed deeps of passions as hot and fierce as " "Your own, Uncle Jervas?"
Then a thought strikes him, and he sends away his little girl with a needless message to her mother. "Ah!" he says. "Another world eh? Meaning ?" "Another world far in the deeps of space." Then at the expression of his face one realises that a Modern Utopia will probably keep its more intelligent citizens for better work than inn-tending.
How lovely she used to look with the morning sun turning her hair to golden mist, and dancing in the blue deeps of her eyes; and once when by chance she had forgotten to fasten her gown, I caught glimpses of a bosom that was like two happy handfuls of wonderful white cherries... She wore a marvellous little printed gown.

"Nor vainly, sovereign of the sea, Did Eros send his shafts to thee What time the rain of gold, Bright Helle, with her brother bore, How stirred the waves she wandered o'er, How stirred thy deeps of old! Swift, by the maiden's charms subdued, Thou cam'st from out the gloomy waves, And in thy mighty arms, she sank Into thy bridal caves."
To any who have been on that shore in a storm it is quite unnecessary to explain why it was impossible to seek safety ashore by lowering a boat. Shallow seas always beat to wilder turbulence in storm than do the great deeps. Even so do shallow natures, and one can guess how the mutinous crew, stung into unwonted fury by cold and despair, railed at Hudson with the rage of panic-stricken hysteria.
They then closed fiercely with their swords, and hurtled about in the foaming, dashing water, beating at each other. Suddenly Beaumains struck the other so hard a stroke on his helm that he was stunned, and fell from his horse into the stream, which whirled him away into the deeps, and there drowned him. Then Beaumains rode swiftly towards the other knight, who with his lance dashed against him.
There was something in the Interpreter's manner something in the weary, drooping figure in that wheel chair in the tired, deep-lined face in the pain-filled eyes and the gentle voice that went to the deeps of Helen Ward's woman heart. With her, as with every one in Millsburgh, the strike was a topic of daily conversation. She sympathized with her brother in his anxiety.
