As yet, I have not met the perfect character whom I could ask to bear my name; still, I may be so fortunate as either to find my ideal, or imagine that I do; or else become so earnestly attached to some beautiful woman, that, for her sake, I will willingly lower my lofty standard.
Little by little during the next few days life on board that vessel came to be about as unbearable as you can imagine. It wasn't that there was much talk, for I think the men were shy even of speaking to each other freely about what they thought. The whole ship's company grew silent, until one hardly ever heard a voice, except giving an order and the answer.
She had tried to prepare herself by endeavouring to imagine how he would look when he began a little shy even a little lovably awkward? But his engaging smile his quite darling smile would show itself in spite of him as it always did. But when he came into the room his look was a new one to her.

Imagine then her untiring, all-pervading watchfulness. In the twilight of early dawn, the farm servants heard her hoarse, husky voice: "Olivier Peyrol Audibert Come! It's four o'clock."
