This little oasis of intellectual light, shadowed as it was with vices, had its influence, and there were many women in the solitude of remote chateaux who began to cultivate a love for literature. "The very women and maidens aspired to this praise and celestial manna of good learning," said Rabelais.
"It suggests," said the artist, rolling his eyes, "`a thing of beauty; and " "Next!" interrupted the Professor, pointing to Lawrence. "I know, sir," shouted the Captain. "Hold your tongue, sir!" "Ay, ay, sir." "It is suggestive," said Lawrence, "of an oasis in the desert." "Very poor, sir," said the Professor, severely. "Next." "It suggests a cool shade on a hot day," said Emma.
Beyond any dream of adventure he had ever had, beyond any wild story he had ever read, had been his experience with those hard-riding rangers, Ladd and Lash. Then he had traveled alone the hundred miles of desert between Forlorn River and the Sonoyta Oasis. Ladd's prophecy of trouble on the border had been mild compared to what had become the actuality.

He and some other Arab Richard came to Algiers to see, are the only two men alive, apparently, who firmly believe in the Lost Oasis that Sir Knight means to try to find, when he can get his caravan together, and start across the desert early next autumn after the hot weather."

The convict pulled out the top sheet of blotting-paper, and reversed it against the light. The second line of the letter was clear, and ended "now not."
