"Well, any thing rather than poetry," says the world; so, for better or worse, I will jot down prosaically a few of my all but impromptu imaginings on Home.
"It never struck me that the name could have any allegorical significance," the Tenor answered prosaically. "I believe it used to be Morn and Quest. It stands at the junction of the two rivers, you know, or rather just below it. They run their united race from hence to the sea." "I know," said the Boy.
The adoring chief gave Tennys a group of ten handmaidens before the day was over, and Hugh had a constant body guard of twenty stalwarts which he prosaically turned into carpenters, stone-masons, errand boys and hunters. "You must not try to civilize them in a day," she smilingly protested when he became particularly enthusiastic. "Well, just see what we have done to-day," he cried.
And Morgan sliding down the declivity of the hay, disappeared from sight, leaving his companion crouched like a sphinx, with his eyes fixed on Roland de Montrevel. A quarter of an hour later Morgan returned. By this time the officer's windows were dark like all the others of the barracks. "Well?" asked Morgan. "Well," replied Valensolle, "it ended most prosaically.
He at once connected this repressed excitement with Landini; but then, the face was mirthful, too, in the same lurking manner, and the proposals of a serious man could hardly affect even the most frivolous quite like a comic valentine. He finally preferred the simplest interpretation: she had seen as much as she wanted to; she was prosaically sleepy and going home to bed. "Good night," she said.
"Thank God for your gift of laughter," Von Gerhard said, and took my hand in his for one brief moment before he turned and walked away. Quite prosaically I opened the big front door at Knapfs' to find Herr Knapf standing in the hallway with his: "Nabben', Frau Orme." And there was the sane and soothing scent of Wienerschnitzel and spluttering things in the air.
And Lewis Peckham found himself wooing health at the cost of music, and earning his living as prosaically as any mere bread-winner of them all. The "straight tip" on the Yankee Doodle proved to be an exception among its kind. The Y. D. which he had bought at ten cents, ran up in a week to twenty-five cents.
But as the dead man lay there, wasted, his face seemed to have taken on a grave and austere dignity, an expression of resolute will in the heavy jaw, the high brow, the broad nostril, as though the steadfast soul within, so prosaically muffled in the flesh, had at the last spoken out to those nearest him the meaning of his life, graving it on his dead face.
As far as the eye could reach there were no signs of servants upper or lower. Nevertheless, Ashe lowered his voice. "Was it not a strange coincidence," he said, "that you should have come into my life at all?" "Not very," said Joan prosaically. "It was quite likely that we should meet sooner or later, as we lived on different floors of the same house."
The real romance is that a perfectly ordinary young man, the sort of young man who cleans your car at the garage, a prosaically real young man wearing overalls faded to a thin blue, splitting his infinitives, and frequently having for idol a bouncing ingénue, should, in a rickety structure of wood and percale, be able to soar miles in the air and fulfil the dream of all the creeping ages.
