"I daresay I'm mad," said John, unconsciously following King Lear; "but, upon my word, I do believe you're Flora." "Of course I am," replied she. And yet it is not Flora at all, thought John; Flora was slender, and timid, and of changing colour, and dewy-eyed; and had Flora such an Edinburgh accent? But he said none of these things, which was perhaps as well.
Dealer and Stockman drummed their fingers on the table unconcernedly. And the Judge saw a great light. "You, Thompson!" he roared. "Turn over that hand! I feel that you have treated this Court with the greatest contemptibility!" He pawed the discard with frantic haste, producing the seven of hearts. "Why, you pink-cheeked, dewy-eyed catamaran! What have you got, anyway?"
At one moment he gave himself up completely to his pride at having captured this pretty, trustful, dewy-eyed thing! At the next he thought with factitious solemnity: 'Yes, my boy! But look out what you're doing! You know what comes of it! Dusk dropped down without his noticing dusk on the carved, Assyrian-looking masses of the rocks.

He pictured himself, the tall and comely youth, standing up alone before the grim assembly of elders, flinty old men who knew nothing of my Lord Amor, how he rides afield in a rose-coloured garment, throwing a flower and a dart to boy or girl as he goes. He saw a dewy-eyed Battista owning himself Love's priest. The women called him Sebastian for his beauty.
A little dewy-eyed pond, blue as the sky, was staring at him out of a saucer of green. In a moment he was on his knees at the edge of it, and drinking greedily. Then he took off his coat and laid it on the edge of the saucer to dry. That done he flung himself on his back to think. After all there was no hurry.
