Those receptacles of choice thoughts! "The amber sunlight splashing through the leaky leafy interlacing green," he read. "No! that's not it. Ah, here! Curtains! Drawing-room not to cost more than thirty shillings! And there's all the Kitchen Hardware! What's this? G.L.I.S. ah! "Glistering thro' deeps of glaucophane" that's nothing.

"There is also a magnificence in the natural cleavage of the stone to which the art must indeed be great, that pretends to be equivalent; and a stern expression of brotherhood with the mountain heart from which it has been rent, ill-exchanged for a glistering obedience to the rule and measure of men.
