He repeated that a little brutally to his wife's silence before in softened voice he added, "Only, perhaps you're right, Evelyn; perhaps we, too, should be seeing that kind of thing, understanding what, God knows, we long to understand, if we had 'undressed minds, if we hadn't from earliest infancy been smeared all over with the plaster-of-Paris of 'normal thinking." Time flew swiftly by.
"Live there?" "No, sir." He seemed to be disappointed. "You go past the bottom of Treville Street, and there the shop is, slap in front of you. You can't miss it, because it has a plaster-of-Paris cow in the window, and the proprietor's called Mudge. I go to Plymouth every week on purpose to see her." "By coach, sir?"
People said they liked the way the cheeks and noses of the Apostles were colored; and when Father Gonzales brought in a sailor who had been shipwrecked, and the sailorman left ten pesetas for a plaster-of-Paris ship to be placed as a votive offering in the Chapel of Saint Dominic, their cup was full.
Had there been the least uneasiness, anger, impatience or impertinence in his manner; in other words, had there been any thing ordinarily human about him, doubtless I should have violently dismissed him from the premises. But as it was, I should have as soon thought of turning my pale plaster-of-paris bust of Cicero out of doors.

Altogether I feel so boundlessly miserable that I begin to despise myself for bearing this misery. Enough. Farewell. The worker in plaster-of-Paris has not yet returned your medallion; the margin was a little damaged. Why do you keep the "Indian fairy tale" to yourself?

If it were not for this unlucky accident of a sprained ankle " and he glanced ruefully at his injured limb encased in its plaster-of-Paris form. "I like the name," I went on, somewhat irrelevantly.
