Arline's eyes were wet, and there was a croak in her voice when she cried jubilantly: "Well, ain't that better 'n a sewin' machine or a piano?" But Val did not attempt an answer.

He is a large quoter, though, with his usual inconsistency, he says, "I am no admirer of quotations." In the Epimetheus of a poet usually as elegant as Gray himself, one's finer sense is a little jarred by the "Spectral gleam their snow-white dresses." "Those overwhelming armies.... Whose rear lay wrapt in night, while breaking dawn Roused the broad front and called the battle on."

"Not quite so 'tractive, too pale and want animation, when you're calm." She did not answer, but felt a quiver of repulsion.

Sadie was not remarkably fastidious; she had, for several years, managed a hotel, and had used her physical charm to attract the man, but she was jarred.
The sound, intensified there in that still place, jarred through Sally's senses. She roughly told herself that she was a fool. "You know I'm in a bank?" he began. "Yes; of course."
