Idlesse was fashionable: exquisite languors were a sign of breeding; and she always had an idea that she looked more interesting at dinner after reclining on a couch the whole of the afternoon.
Radiance shone in his eyes, the look of purity and candour on his young face was infinitely touching to the two men who beheld it, the one worn with age and physical languors, the other equally worn in mind, if not in body.
