To all outward appearance, therefore, Austria was quite as subservient as Prussia to the mighty coalition of France and Russia. Almost immediately after the rupture with England, Alexander had the mortification of seeing his worst fears realized. Napoleon had opened to him at Tilsit a dazzling vista of territorial aggrandizement. Slowly but surely the desired effect was produced.
He had realized the situation then and had felt with Leonora. Perhaps he had grown too old to feel that sort of young emotion any more. He sighed regretfully as he rose from his seat. Looking up once more, he saw that Gloria was putting on her cloak, her back turned to the theatre. He waited a moment and then moved on with the crowd, to get his coat from the cloak-room.

Just as she was getting into bed, she wiped her eyes, then cringed at a gust of perfumery and realized that she had brought Lily's handkerchief back with her!

When a man has money and is willing to spend it, he can readily fool himself into imagining he gets on grandly with women.

"I'm glad you want me to go," he said, renewing the conversation as they started around the house, "because I wanted to and, well, anyhow it's my job " "What do you mean 'your job'?" Carblyn June asked quickly. Skinny was stricken silent. He realized he was on dangerous ground.
I could easily have reached it in a day, but being in no great haste to arrive there, it took me three. My head was filled with the ideas of adventures, and I approached every country-seat I saw in my way, in expectation of having them realized.
