The scene was now the palace of Theseus, and Mhor, as the Prologue, was addressing an imaginary audience with "Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show." Pamela and Jean removed themselves to the window-seat and listened while Jock, covered with an old skin rug, gave a realistic presentment of the Lion, that very gentle beast, and of a good conscience.
There remains but the central fountain, in the main court, symbolizing the Earth, done by Robert Aitken. Its figures are magnificently virile, but wholly realistic.
The other day even M. Daudet was to be heard babbling of audible colours and visible sounds. This odd suicide of one branch of the realists may serve to remind us of the fact which underlies a very dusty conflict of the critics.

Surely all novelists, whether realistic or romantic, try to show men what they are what else can be their reason for embodying in imagined facts the truths of human life? Victor Hugo, the romantic, in "Les Misérables," endeavors just as honestly and earnestly to show men what they are as does Flaubert, the realist, in "Madame Bovary."
Before you know it your father may arrive in Hong Kong, get your letter, and send back an answer. Then everything will be cleared up.

I don't know what to do about a wreck, though. I'm afraid I can't make it realistic enough.
"I have just enough energy left to be realistic. I can't read your writing. Suppose I put down the headings. Location, date of sighting, time of sighting, direction of sighting, number of persons who saw object. What else?" "Description," Scotty suggested. "Maybe that ought to be in two parts. One for shape and one for color." Rick nodded. "Good idea. I'll rule lines as we go."
