"Pleasant journey." "Thank you. "My opera-glass," said Marian. "No, thanks: you would not know where to look for it: I will go myself." She went upstairs; and Conolly, after a pause, followed, and found her in their bedroom, closing the drawer from which she had just taken the opera-glass. "Marian," he said: "you have been crying to-day. Is anything wrong? or is it only nervousness?"
The consciousness changes its object and orientation, not its nature. It is as if, with the same opera-glass, we looked in turn at the wall of the room and through the window. I can even quote on this point a significant fact: there are observers who are organised in such a way that they especially observe by memory.
She laughed, but her laugh suddenly broke off, and she stayed motionless, as though her own words had suddenly struck her, and in her eyes, usually so gay and bold, there was a gleam of something like timidity, even like sadness. 'Snake! ah, she's a snake! Sanin was thinking meanwhile; 'but what a lovely snake! 'Give me my opera-glass, Maria Nikolaevna said suddenly.
Only I think she'd have introduced him if he had been." His cousin faintly shrugged. "Shall you encourage that?"

The haughty Hogginarmo laid down his opera-glass, and looked scowling round at the King and his attendants. "Touch me not, dogs!" he said, "or by St. Nicholas the Elder, I will gore you! Your Majesty thinks Hogginarmo is afraid? No, not of a hundred thousand lions! Follow me down into the circus, King Padella, and match thyself against one of yon brutes. Thou darest not.
The leading lady is generally a large voluptuous person with a head like a hay-stack seen through the wrong end of an opera-glass, and some of the soubrettes are all hats and eyes and wriggling grace.
"Well old man," said Maryan, turning to Kranitski, "what are they doing on the stage?" Kranitski dropped his hand with the opera-glass quickly and blurted out: "What is the question, Maryan?" His eyes, which were fine yet in their prolonged lids, were glazed with a tear. "Ho, ho! romantic, there is a tear in your eye. The subject must be affecting! Let us listen!"
As a matter of fact, unless one is riding with the staff of the general who commands, one cannot form an idea of what is going on by hanging about, and it is a horrible sight to look with an opera-glass at men and horses being massacred.
