It is enough to recall to the memory of readers that "Dramatis Personæ" contains "James Lea's Wife," "Rabbi Ben Ezra," and "Prospice." It has every right to be so, for nowhere does he exhibit in a manner so sustained, and yet so varied, his own extraordinary insight into characters and motives entirely dissimilar. Since that remarkable work was given to the world, Mr.
Lea's collection of fresh-water shells, a series of the magnificent Unios of the rivers and lakes of America, comprising four hundred species, represented by some thirty specimens of each. Mr. Lea has promised me specimens of all the species.
Bright green silk, with huge yellow brocade flowers as big as cabbages all over it! I think I see myself in it." "Caddy, listen to me. You know there's enough of that black lace of mother's for the waist, and the big black lace shawl of Grandmother Lea's will do for the skirt. Make it over " "A plain slip of the silk," gasped Carry, her quick brain seizing on all the possibilities of the plan.
Lea's face was ironed smooth by the light, beautiful and young, a direct contrast to everything else on this poisonous world. Her hand was outside of the covers and he took it in his own, obeying a sudden impulse.
Lea's room was dark, illuminated only by the light of Dis's moon slanting in through the window. Brion let himself in and closed the door behind him. Walking quietly, he went over to the bed. Lea was sleeping soundly, her breathing gentle and regular. A night's sleep now would do as much good as all the medication.
This example is brought forward by Ledermann, "Skin Diseases and Marriage," in Senator and Kaminer, Health and Disease in Relation to Marriage. I may here again refer to Lea's instructive History of Sacerdotal Celibacy.
He frowned and muttered something to himself. There was a fine beading of sweat above his eyebrows now as he fought an internal battle. Coming to a decision, he rose, and Brion stood too. "Come with me. I'll take you to Hovedstad. But first you will tell me are you from Nyjord?" "No." The nameless Disan merely grunted and turned away. Brion shouldered Lea's unconscious body and followed him.
Tiny glistening white barbs projected from the petals pink-tipped now with his blood. Brion swung towards the Disan angrily and stopped when he looked at the other man's face. His mouth was surrounded by many small white scars. "The vaede does not like to give up its water, but it always does," the man said. Brion drank again, then put the vaede to Lea's mouth.
He wondered how long it would be before his confused body-temperature controls decided to turn off the summer adjustment. He hoped it wouldn't be as sudden or as drastic as turning it on had been. Delicate as a dream, Lea's reflection swam in space next to the planet. She had come up quietly behind him in the spaceship's corridor, only her gentle breath and mirrored face telling him she was there.
The business soon overflowed, and necessitated the building, in 1770, of the structures represented in the engraving on page 371, the whole group, on the two sides of the stream, being under one ownership, and known as "Lea's Brandywine Mills."
