There was a semirespectful silence; Linda looked at the little jewel-like machine with a slight shudder; Sacharissa shrugged her young shoulders. "How much of this," said she, "is theory and how much is fact? for, William, you always were something of a poet." "I don't know. A month ago I tried it on your father's footman, and in a week he'd married a perfectly strange parlor maid."
She leant her elbow on the table, resting her chin upon her hand. Her eyes glowed jewel-like, almost the same colour as her garland. The flame of love had melted into warmth her statue-like coldness, and given her the one thing she had lacked expression. Yet the mystery, the charm that surrounded her clung to her even when she appeared most womanly.
