"I shall take it as a favor if you will let Philip know that I did not willingly leave him without a word. It would hurt him to think that." "The wounds of earth," the Father Superior said gravely, "are the joys of heaven." Maurice stood an instant with a keen desire to reply, to break down this icy statue of religion; then he drew back. "I will not trouble you longer," he said. "Good-by."
Billing, "to find that you've no statue erected to the memory of the General. I'd have thought " "The matter is under discussion," said Dr. O'Grady. "Our Urban District Council is alive to its duty in the matter. At the last meeting let me see now, was it the last meeting? Gallagher! Thady Gallagher! Come here for a minute."
After a moment he said: "Now Dave's project is running in good shape, there isn't much left for me to do, my, no, except see the statue set up in the park." "I wanted to ask you about that, Mr. Banks; we passed the place on the way to the bungalow. It was beautiful. I presume you have selected a woman's figure a lovely Ceres or Aphrodite?"

Then I looked down at the water immediately beneath me, and knew that New York was a real city. All kinds of refuse went floating by: bits of wood, straw from barges, bottles, boxes, paper, occasionally a dead cat or dog, hideously bladder-like, its four paws stiff and indignant towards heaven.
