He had not felt that hesitation once when portraying the possibilities of the voyage to another. It was not a long illness, Louie's, though it had been severe enough to destroy for her consciousness both of pain and pleasure.
A few years ago, when Lungren and Philips and Sharpe and a dozen others began portraying the marvelous coloring of the Southwestern Desert with its almost Arab life, the public refused to accept such spectacular, un-American work as true. Such pictures were diligently "skied" by hanging committees, and a few hundred dollars was deemed a good price.
O'Sullivan has sought to suggest the spiritual effect of the war upon a certain type of mind. He has rendered with faithful subtleness the newly aroused longing for religious belief or some form of concrete spiritual expression that bereavement brings. This state has a pathos of its own that the author adequately realizes in his story, and his irony in portraying it is Gallic in its quality. Mrs.

"I believe he could be got off, if he went back," he said to his wife, in a burst of sympathy, when Northwick had taken his letter away to his own room. The belief, generous in itself, began to mix with self-interest in Pinney's soul. He conscientiously forbore to urge Northwick to return, but he could not help portraying the flattering possibilities of such a course.
