The cats cowered close to the Cardinal; the dog at first accompanied the Pope, but whined so grievously, as though he beheld a spirit, that Alexander bade him back. Supreme is the spell of the genius loci.
Cum igitur nobis compertum iam sit, habere vos in vestris galeris, ex Reginae nostrae serenissimae Dominae meae subditis vnum et quinquaginta captiuos: non equidem dubitamus, quin eos omnes sitis relaxaturi, et ad nos missuri: ea lege, ac conditione, vt totidem ex vestris hic captiuis eiusdem loci atque ordinis, melioris etiam fortassis notae, ac conditionis, homuncios, ad os vicissim remittamus.
These months of work on the portrait this constant assumption on the part of the Findon circle that both the portrait and the 'Genius Loci' were to become Findon possessions and yet no sum named no clear agreement even nothing, as it seemed to Fenwick's suspicious temper, in either case, that really bound Lord Findon.
They are its tradition, its memory, its quintessence, the genius loci incarnate. There is something frigid and monumental about these ladies; they know exactly when to laugh and when to shake their heads, and every now and then give out some utterance which passes current as a witticism.

I shall sit in that room and see if its atmosphere brings me inspiration. I'm a believer in the genius loci. You smile, Friend Watson. Well, we shall see. By the way, you have that big umbrella of yours, have you not?" "It is here." "Well, I'll borrow that if I may." "Certainly but what a wretched weapon! If there is danger "
'Has your father seen these pictures? She pointed to the 'Genius Loci' on its further easel and to the portrait. 'My father! I haven't spoken to him or seen him for years. 'Years! She opened her eyes. 'Is it as bad as that? 'Aye, that's North-Country. If you've once committed yourself, you stick to it like death. She declared that it might be North-Country, but was none the less barbarous.
