In spite of some attempt on the part of the police to keep the hour secret, half Venice followed the black-draped barca, which bore that flawed poet and dubious hero to his rest. It was a morning of exceeding beauty.
Watts of the permission which Colonel Clive had given me to help myself, and he confirmed it. "Take what you please," he said carelessly. "You will find the emeralds run larger than any other stone, but some of them are flawed. There is a pretty string of rubies somewhere that it might be worth while to choose.
She surveyed herself in the flawed glass, moving from side to side, fascinated at the strange distortions. "I call it positive extortion, charging what they do for a room like this," grumbled Keith, busy at the trunk. "The Sherwoods must pay a mint of money for theirs. I wonder what he does!" Her attention attracted by this subject, she arrested her posing before the mirror.
He was a smallish man, with a suggestion of something dapper about him even in his present unkempt disorder; he might have been handsome, in a weakly effeminate way, had not Nature or some mishap given his face a twist that skewed it all to one side, drawing all of his features out of focus, like a reflection viewed in a flawed mirror.

The Wonder, wing-and-wing, was headed directly in for the anchorage. She rose and fell lazily over a glassy swell flawed here and there by catspaws from astern.
But was it not altogether for her good that his flawed, contradictory life should be cut violently from hers? Could their marriage, ill-planted, ill-grown, have come in the end to any tolerable fruit?
And yet it was only the merest chance, the merest run of bad luck but it leaves him, you say, with the impression that we are flawed?" "A terrible flaw.

Mad and cold he says now of all women, and therefore as unlike a normal man as a creature half-lunatic, half-snake."
