And for a moment they remained facing one another whilst the joy died out of her eyes, leaving a queer distress. Then they shook hands and he left her, coldly, prosaically, as though nothing had happened. But he was like a drunken man who had fallen into a sea of glory. "The clouds, methought, would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me. . ."
"I know she will. She's always been so adorably interested in everything. I wish I had something to eat," she finished prosaically. "I'll go see if Bet and Ange have anything," Polly offered. She tip-toed out of the door for the good night bell had rung and started toward Betty's room. One of the housemaids was just coming down the corridor. "Here's a telegram for you, Miss Polly," she said. "Mrs.
Throwing himself on his back, Frank argued prosaically "Then you mean to say you really care about me more than any one else?" She assured him that she did; and again and again the temptations of women were discussed. He could not sleep, and stretched at length on his back, he held Lizzie's hand.
"Like what?" said Sara Lee prosaically. "I don't know," he muttered. "You sometimes you look as though " Then he put his arms round her. "I love you," he said. "I'll be good to you, Sara Lee, if you'll have me." He bent down and put his cheek against hers. "If you'll only marry me, dear." A woman has a way of thinking most clearly and lucidly when the man has stopped thinking.

But he, with his father and Leonard, was more prosaically employed, for they were at work in the main or vegetable garden. It was with a sense of immense relief that she heard Mrs. Clifford, after she had given her final directions, and gloated over the blooming crocuses and daffodils, and the budding hyacinths and tulips, express a wish to join her husband. "Come back soon," pleaded Burt.
Some one of the Hapsburgs had built, many years ago, a knightly castle on a lake, and in it were stored dim suits of armour of Maximilian; a cabinet of Wallenstein; grim portraits of kings and warriors; swords, halbards, jewelled daggers, and antique curiosities innumerable; only rather prosaically completed by the exhibition of the every-day suit of the last Emperor of Austria, which, however affecting a spectacle for a simple-hearted Viennese—and they are mere babies in matters of royalty—irresistibly reminded one of Holywell Street, London, and cast-off regimentals.
"If you are not an artist you are worthy to be one!" he rejoined, with an expressive smile. "A young man who arrives at Florence late in the evening, and, instead of going prosaically to bed, or hanging over the traveller's book at his hotel, walks forth without loss of time to pay his devoirs to the beautiful, is a young man after my own heart!"
Then he breaks into rapturous exclamations which are very prosaically and poorly represented by our version.
