A blinding cloud of yellow dust was driving out and away from the base of the landing stage in the form of a gigantic ring. The earth at their feet was hidden in whirls of vapour; and ripples of light and shade chased each other outward in all directions, like shadows on the bottom of a sandy pond rippled by a breeze. It made him dizzy to look down there, and he arose from the window.
A girl stood up to wave at me. Her hand, held up with the loose robe falling back from her slim white arm, offered me a huge scarlet blossom. The love offering. As I hesitated, her laughter rippled out. She tore the mask from her face. Her red mouth was smiling; her eyes, provocative, were dancing with mischief.
She had taken it into her head, like other deserted women, to assume a virgin air, and recall by clouds of white material the maidens of Ossian, so poetically painted by Girodet.

You must have been about ten. I had taken you to the Zoological Gardens, such as they were." Her laughter rippled out softly again. "I remember," she nodded, "it was dreadful." "Yes," he said; "we were at the monkey-cage; you had grown tired of feeding the ostrich with centesimi." "Oh, Philip!" she interrupted him; "I never, never would have done such a thing.
He very much preferred that all should work together for whatever common purpose happened to be in their minds at the time; and thus it was, that of the boys who played together in the old fort, and waded in the shallow water that rippled along the sand beach at its foot, no one was more popular than Bert Lloyd. They had fine fun during this summer vacation.
"You will never find it," he insisted, "for there is nothing of them in you nothing." "You don't like them, I remember." "Nor do you." A laugh broke from her and humour rippled in her eyes. "So you still persist in the truth, and in the plain truth!" she exclaimed. "Then it is so, you confess it?" "No, no, no," she protested.
