No; it really was true, curiously true: another lady's eye might have transformed him to a pumpkin shape, exaggerated all his foibles fifty-fold, and he, though not liking it, of course not, would yet have preserved a certain manly equanimity. How was it Lady Camper had such power over him? a lady concealing seventy years with a rouge-box or paint-pot! It was witchcraft in its worst character.

It was absolutely as if she had been borrowing from a Jew, and were called upon to pay fifty-fold interest.
And the eyes of Garrick? Eyelids, again. And the eyes of Charles Dickens, that were said to contain the life of fifty men? On the mechanism of the eyelids hung that fifty-fold vitality.
