She looked with a little wistful fear on the white, golden-eyed marguerites that lay on her lap. "Do you think the fiend is in these?" she whispered, with awe in her voice. Flamen smiled. "When you count them he will be there, no doubt." Bébée threw them with a shudder on the grass. "Have I spoilt your holiday, dear?" he said, with a certain self-reproach.
Suppose at the club this evening I were to say: 'Upon my word of honor the golden-eyed was not worth all she cost me! Everybody would exclaim when I was gone: 'Did you hear that fop De Marsay, who tried to make us believe that he has already had the girl of the golden eyes? It's his way of trying to disembarrass himself of his rivals: he's no simpleton. But such a ruse is vulgar and dangerous.
They were there before us golden-eyed girl and grotesque frog-woman complete in every line and curve; and still it was as though their bodies passed back through distances; as though, to try to express the wellnigh inexpressible, the two shapes we were looking upon were the end of an infinite number stretching in fine linked chain far away, of which the eyes saw only the nearest, while in the brain some faculty higher than sight recognized and registered the unseen others.

As for the sailor lad, he sailed the sea for many years, and finally married a pretty niece of the Witch of the Sands. Then, like all sailors, he went to the country to live.
Others represented the hero Hidesato vanquishing a monster on the bridge of Seta; the sage Lao Tsze on his ox; Senno Kinko, a pious man, riding on his golden-eyed carp, absorbed in a book; the god Idaten, pursuing an oni, or devil, who had stolen Buddha's pearl; a bird prying open a Venus's shell with his bill; a golden-eyed octopus or cuttlefish; the sage Kiko leaning from the window of his house, reading a scroll by moonlight.
The veranda was almost covered with the large, white, golden-eyed stars of the Cherokee rose, gleaming out from its dark, lustrous foliage. The lawn was a sheet of green velvet embroidered with flowers. Magnolias and oaks of magnificent growth ornamented the extensive grounds. In the rear was a cluster of negro huts.
And here, while I have been writing and you reading these pages, he has had them all with him; Oliver and Susan, on their bridal journey, which waited for summer-time to come again, though they have been six months married; Rose, of course, and Dakie Thayne, home in vacation from a great school where he is studying hard, hoping for West Point by and by; Leslie Goldthwaite, who is Dakie's inspiration still; and our Flower, our Pansy, our Delight, golden-eyed Lady of innumerable sweet names.
You may be training the beast to spit poison at good citizens. Throw it down and kill it." Monsieur the Viscount made no reply. His hands had moved towards his breast, against which he was holding his golden-eyed friend.
