The double-star allusion struck another dead silence. She would have given a week's pay to any invisible attendant that would have cut her stay-lace. At last: Do you know the story of Andromeda? he said. Perhaps I did once, but suppose I don't remember it.
He held both his hands out towards her, the palms together, as if they were fettered at the wrists. She took hold of them very gently; parted them a little; then wider wider and found herself all at once folded, unresisting, in her lover's arms. So there was a new double-star in the living firmament.
He viewed them as a double-star, without yet having the coolness to separate them. He was a man to love once only, and there is but one love. There are different phases of it as there are different lodgers in the same house; they do not know each other, but they come in and go forth by the same staircase-way.

Another guess gives epsilon1 a period of one thousand years, and epsilon2 a period of eight hundred years. Hall, in his double-star observations, simply says of each, "A slow motion." Purely by guesswork a period has also been assigned to the two pairs in a supposed revolution around their common center, the time named being about a million years.
The earliest chemical star-pictures were those of Castor and Vega, obtained with the Cambridge refractor in 1850 by Whipple of Boston under the direction of W. C. Bond. Double-star photography was inaugurated under the auspices of G. P. Bond, April 27, 1857, with an impression, obtained in eight seconds, of Mizar, the middle star in the handle of the Plough.
The methods employed in double-star determinations remain, at the beginning of the twentieth century, essentially unchanged. The camera has scarcely encroached upon this part of the micrometer's domain. A research of striking merit into the origin of binary stars was published in 1892 by Dr. T. J. J. See, in the form of an Inaugural Dissertation for his doctor's degree in the University of Berlin.
In many of these little nameless places I have experienced memorable hours: and because the less enthusiastic Baedeker has neglected to star and double-star them, I have always wanted to praise them, in print somewhat larger than his own.
