After that they went through the whole garden again, flower by flower, as if it were a long sentence they were spelling out, with kisses for commas, and a great hug by way of a full-stop when they got to the end. "Doos oo know, that was my river-edge, Sylvie?" Bruno solemnly began.
"Talk is helpful, talk is needful," the young man was saying, "but what we have got to do is to lift the subject out of the furrow of indisciplined talk and place it on the threshing-floor of practical discussion." The young woman took advantage of the rhetorical full-stop to dash in with the remark which was already marshalled on the tip of her tongue.
So the train rolled on past the numerous stations; past the towns and villages; past the long groves and vineyards; past the barren, sandy tracts; past the hill-sides, with shepherds, and flocks, and herds; past the roads, with long trains of mules; past the peasants lolling over walls and fences so the train passed on, mile after mile and hour after hour; but nothing of all this was noticed by Ashby, who sat buried in his gloomy reverie, from which he was unable to rally, until at length the train came to a sudden full-stop.
"Neither could I. And that was my very reason for declining the invitation. Now proceed." It was long before he could.

Being a Comma is quite another matter; it's work, work, work, from year's end to year's end. Hullo! What is it now?"

Oh, I shall certainly go far with this." "We women have firmer faith in the sword," replied Anaitis. "At all events, you and I cannot remain upon this thaumaturgist's porch indefinitely."

Kit Raynham had been a general favourite in society, and his disappearance, taken in conjunction with the well-known fact of his infatuation for Magda, created a sensation.
