Then, acting on a sudden impulse, he dropped his bag and started off, intent on going up the mountain.
This is heaven's own incense, I think! And Guy inhaled the flowers and spake prettily to them. 'They have a melancholy sweetness, friend, said Farina. 'I think of whispering Fays, and Elf, and Erl, when their odour steals through me. Do not you? 'Nay, nor hope to till my wits are clean gone, was the Goshawk's reply.
If our great popular Irish drama has yet to come, I think the Fays have made it possible to say that a distinct and really fine dramatic school has arisen in Ireland, evolved out of their wonderful skill in teaching, producing, and acting; and if we are not always really delighted with what our playwrights give us, the almost perfect way in which the plays are served up by the actors invariably wholly satisfies.

That's one reason I like 'em so much. Society has fits over their doings, but it can't get along without them." "The Fays are a pretty good family, aren't they?" inquired Bennington. He was irresistibly impelled to ask this question. "Best going. Mayflower, William the Conqueror, and all that rot. You must know of the Boston Fays." "I do.
