Beauty, mere physical beauty, appealed to him as it always appeals to an artist, but it had never had the power to hold him for any length of time. It had palled upon him. To satisfy his demand, beauty must have upon it the ineffable imprint of the soul. This woman's face was as baffling, as inexplicable, in its way, as was Mona Lisa's.
"Because I don't like the fine young gentleman; and so what is there to be glad of in it? "Well, shall we see you again soon?" the old lady asked, as he rose to depart. "Very likely, aunt; it's not so far, you know." "Well, go, then, and God be with you. And Lisa's not going to marry Panshin; don't you trouble yourself that's not the sort of husband she deserves."
"An attractive person," thought the counsellor of state as he made his way to his lodgings, where his servant was awaiting him with a glass of opodeldoc: "It's well I'm a steady fellow only, what was she laughing at?" Marfa Timofyevna spent the whole night sitting beside Lisa's bed.
Even here Varvara Pavlovna did not leave her in peace. She began to admire her taste, her skill.... Lisa's heart beat violently and painfully. She could scarcely control herself, she could scarcely sit in her place. It seemed to her that Varvara Pavlovna knew all, and was mocking at her in secret triumph. To her relief, Gedeonovsky began to talk to Varvara Pavlovna, and drew off her attention.
'That is true, replied Mary, 'and your husband must have been a very good man from all you tell me, Mrs. Grubb. 'Good enough, but totally uninteresting, said that lady laconically.

The Indian took his dollar with a grunt of satisfaction, and Jakie bade me wave to the friends I had left behind, as he put me on old Lisa's back and hurried off to grandma, Leanna, and Georgia, waiting at the gate to welcome me home.
"Here's an invitation for all of us to Lady 's," said Mrs. Burton to him one day in honied tones. "Now, Dick, darling, this time you must go just for Lisa's sake. It's a shame she should lose so excellent a chance of going into good society. Other people go, why shouldn't we? Eh, darling?" "What won't people do," growled Burton, "for the sake of a dinner!"
The block of jelly, shaped like a Savoy cake, shook on its white china dish beneath the angry violence of Lisa's hand; and as with her finger-tips she took a couple of gherkins from a jar behind the heater, she made the vinegar spurt over the sides. "Twenty-five sous, isn't it?" Madame Lecoeur leisurely inquired.
At last she came in sight and I ran up the road craning my neck to see if Georgia were really behind on old Lisa's back, and when I saw her pinched face aglow with smiles that were all for me, I had but one wish, and that was to get my arms around her.
'It must leak out of the inside of me, wailed Bobby Baxter when sent to the pump for the third time one morning; but he went more or less cheerfully, for his was the splendid honour of weaving a frame for Lisa's picture, and he was not the man to grudge an inch or two of skin if thereby he might gain a glorious immortality.
