Almayer told me he wanted to see you very particularly, sir." Saying these words, I smiled. I don't know why I smiled, except that it seemed absolutely impossible to mention Almayer's name without a smile of a sort. It had not to be necessarily a mirthful smile. Turning his head toward me, Captain C smiled, too, rather joylessly. "The pony got away from him eh?" "Yes, sir. He did." "Where is he?"
"Thank you I shall not need rouge when I begin to sing," said Cynthia, laughing rather joylessly; "the color will come of itself." "I know one who always used to bring it," said Madame, casting a sharp glance at the girl's pale face.

'You must put all that out of your head, she interrupted curtly. 'I cannot. A man doesn't love a woman like you, and, because she is married to another man, put her out of his head in two years or ten or Eternity, for that matter. She laughed joylessly. 'Eternity! she scoffed.
