Her Julie had been flouted and trifled with; and if she was so blind, so infatuated, as not to see it, she should at least be driven to realize what other people felt about it. So she had her say, and Julie had been forced, willy-nilly, upon discussion and self-defence nay, upon a promise also.
Europe beheld the extraordinary spectacle of this infatuated hero passing, in the depth of a northern winter, over the frozen hills and ice-bound rocks of Norway, with his devoted army, in order to conquer that hyperborean region.
Mrs Hamilton's face fell. She was lost in anxious thought for some moments. "Do you mind?" asked Mavis. "Of course not. But we'll talk it over after you've seen Mr Williams."

Wallenstein writes to me as if he were assured of the allegiance of the whole of his army, and speaks unquestionably of his power to overthrow the emperor; but the man is clearly blinded by his ambition and infatuated by his fixed belief in the stars.
So the more faith a policy buyer had in his "row," the larger the venture he would feel inclined to make. Usually it went all one way with the infatuated lady. Day after day she ventured, and day after day she lost, until from hundreds the sums she was spending had aggregated themselves into thousands. She changed from one policy-shop to another, hoping for better luck.
