"It's a professional secret, and I've promised to keep it on the honor of a Kentucky gentleman just as I promised you, Miss 'Lethe." "As you promised me? That's enough, Colonel not another word!"

It smell so like the waters of Lethe, and of that fountain of youth that the Conquistadores sought for in the Floridas, and find him all too late." Whilst he was speaking, Lucy had been examining the flowers and smelling them.
"Duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, Would'st thou not stir in this!"
