But the strain of her passionate, joy-loving mother which crossed with it tempered the tendency toward quite such drastic self-immolation as had appealed to Hugh Vallincourt. To Magda, Michael had come to mean the beginning and end of everything the pivot upon which her whole existence hung.
Just as the mocking inscription on the Cross proclaimed, in 'Hebrew and Greek and Latin, the three tongues known to its readers, the one kingdom of the crucified King so in the greetings from the grave, the one declares that, to all the desires of eager, ardent, sensuous, joy-loving Westerns, and all the aspirations of repose-loving Easterns, who had had bitter experience of the pangs and pains of a state of warfare, Jesus Christ is ready to respond and to bring answering gifts.
And her last words made me fear she contemplated taking her own life. Poor little Vicky Van. Light-hearted, joy-loving Vicky. What was the mystery back of it all? What could it be? Well, at least, I would scrupulously perform the task she had set me, and I would do it well. I knew I could manage to get into the house by making up some story for the police.

It was his duty to have married a woman of the type conventionally termed "good," whose blood and religious outlook were alike unimpeachable; and since he had lamentably failed in this respect, she never ceased to reproach him. Diane she regarded with chronic disapprobation, exaggerating all her faults and opposing her joy-loving, butterfly nature with an aloofly puritanical disdain.
