He begged, nay, he besought her, with tears in his eyes, to promise she would never again see him.
Every danger and every monster can be overcome, if looked firmly in the face, but not too long, Marietta, not till your own eye trembles. Now, sister, enough of this; the rain is over, the sun shall shine. I am no longer ill, and will not be laid aside like a broken play-thing. I will be sound and healthy; I will flap my wings and float once more over the gay world."
Soon he lost his sense of distance, and his glass seemed to be a league away. He told himself that he was the play-thing of sensorial illusions and that he was incapable of reacting.

Before the ape could turn again, Tarzan had fled far aloft among the branches of the upper terrace.
She remembered how, when she had pressed close to him, his hand had sought and gripped hers, conveying courage and sympathy.
