There, at the foot of that weedy and vacuous and yet charming old Neptune how perfectly he suits his age! there, if you look, you will see certain gigantic leaves sculptured into the rock. I once overheard a German she-tourist saying to her companion, as she pointed to these things: "Ist doch sonderbar, wie das Wasser so die Pflanzen versteinert."
The one I potted got his arms round me before he coughed himself out, calling me his 'liebe Elsa, and wanting to kiss me. Lord! You can guess how the Boche ink-slingers spread themselves over that business: 'Sonderbar! Colossal! Unvergessliche Helden. Poor devils!" "They'll give us ginger before it is over," said another. He had had both his lips torn away, and appeared to be always laughing.
And she waved the waiter loftily away, and looked on with much superciliousness at the rest of us enjoying ourselves. "What! You do not eat this excellent ragout?" asked her other neighbour, a hot man, as he finished clearing his plate and had time to observe the emptiness of hers. "You do not like calves' tongues and mushrooms? Sonderbar."
