And then she laid her hand on her heart with an expression of deep emotion. "What do you mean? I don't understand you. Please express yourself a little more clearly, I'm not in a humour to guess riddles." "If you can't guess it, you'll not understand it either if I say it more clearly." She bent her head and then went back to her former seat.
I can well conceive that the story I tell will be regarded by most as a wild and fantastic fable; that by some it may be considered a vehicle for guesses at various riddles of Nature, without or within us, which are free to the license of romance, though forbidden to the caution of science. But, I I know unmistakably my own identity, my own positive place in a substantial universe.
"You're pleased to talk in riddles." "They're no harder to understand than your errand is to me, sir," I retorted. He mastered his anger with a strong effort, and in a few words told me his errand, adding that by Carford's advice he came to me. "For I am told, sir, that you have some power with the lady." I looked full and intently in his face. He met my gaze unflinchingly.
"All I know is, that if we find the lad, we are full sure to find the lass not far off." "How? You speak in riddles to-day." "Ay, and there are like to be more riddles tomorrow, for what the upshot of it will be is more than I can tell. See you not that, as the two were lost about the same time, and near the same place, they will probably be found together?"
The fountain is really in two compositions. The larger, and central, one is composed of a globe representing the earth, with four panels of figures on the four sides, representing certain of the incidents of life on earth, or certain riddles of existence.
"You talk riddles, my lord," said Mary; "I will hope the explanation carries nothing insulting with it." "You shall judge, madam," answered Lindesay.
Next to the sight of Alvan her friend Marko was welcome. The youth visited her in the evening, and with the glitter of his large black eyes bent to her, and began talking incomprehensibly of leave-taking and farewell, until she cried aloud that she had riddles enough: one was too much. What had he to say? She gave him her hand to encourage him.
"As if there were anything on earth that bored people as much as card tricks!" said that experienced lady to Rupert Gunning. "Look here, would you mind reading over these riddles, to see which you'd like to have to answer. Now, here's a local one. I'll ask it 'Why am dis room like de Enniscar Demesne? and then you'll say, 'Because dere am so many pretty little deers in it'!"
I believe it was nothing to Mr. We shall meet again la haut." And then with a whir of their deliciously scented wings, away they fly for good, whisking over the trees of Brobdingnag Square, and up into the sky, as the policeman touches his hat. It is up there that they invent the legends for the crackers, and the wonderful riddles and remarks on the bonbons. No mortal, I am sure, could write them.
They do talk as if the connection of two strange things physically connected them philosophically. They feel that because one incomprehensible thing constantly follows another incomprehensible thing the two together somehow make up a comprehensible thing. Two black riddles make a white answer. In fairyland we avoid the word "law"; but in the land of science they are singularly fond of it.
