It would have been decidedly difficult to live up to such a contract, and as it were to fulfil every one of the implied specifications!" "And yet" here Charteris flicked his cigarette "Anne ruled in the stead of Aline Van Orden. And Aline, in turn, had followed Clarice Pendomer. And before the coming of Clarice had Pauline Romeyne, whom time has converted into Polly Ashmeade, reigned in the land "
It was characteristic that he faced Pauline Romeyne or was it still Romeyne? he wondered precisely as if it had been fifteen minutes, rather than as many years, since they had last spoken together. "Must one?" she asked. "Oh, yes, I know you have always thought that, but I do not quite see the necessity of it." She sat upon the bench beside Lord Penniston's square marble pedestal.
I want to know the Dream again, Pauline, the Dream which I had lost, had half forgotten, and have so pitifully parodied. I want to know the Dream again, Pauline, and you alone can help me." "Oh, if I could! if even I could now, my dear!" Pauline Romeyne left him upon a sudden, crying this. And "So!" said Mr. Charteris.
The little man's chin was uplifted so that it was toward the stars he looked rather than at Pauline Romeyne, and when he spoke he seemed to meditate aloud. "I was born, I think, with the desire to make beautiful books brave books that would preserve the glories of the Dream untarnished, and would re-create them for battered people, and re-awaken joy and magnanimity."
Yet he fully recognized himself to be the most enviable of men and an inhabitant of the most glorious world imaginable a world wherein he very assuredly meant to marry Pauline Romeyne say, in the ensuing September.
Pauline Romeyne had sat beside him then yonder, upon the fourth bench from the front, where now another boy with painstakingly plastered hair was clapping hands. There was a girl on the right of this boy, too. There naturally would be. Mr. Charteris as he sat down was wondering if Pauline was within reach of his voice? and if she were, what was her surname nowadays?
