Polystratus. Lycinus Poly. Well, here is the lady's comment.
She could have informed you that there was such a word as "polygamy," and being also acquainted with "polysyllable," she had deduced the conclusion that "poly" mean "many"; but she had had no idea that gypsies were not well supplied with groceries, and her thoughts generally were the oddest mixture of clear-eyed acumen and blind dreams.

Coburn said, "Poly kala. Orea." His office was empty. It was dustier than usual. His secretary was probably taking a holiday since he was supposed to be out of town.
It is blessedness indeed, to possess one of whom we may say with Homer that she contends with golden Aphrodite in beauty, and in works is the equal of Athene. Who of womankind shall be compared to her In comeliness, in wit, in goodly works? Poly. Who indeed? Lycinus, I have a proposal to make.
