With Jordaens it is the satyr in man that sets the standard of enjoyment, except in his religious pictures which often are filled with genuine and noble emotion, and in which he rises superior to Steen where the latter works in the same kind. Nothing could be more commonplace or characterless in color and form than Steen's rendering of the dinner at Emmaus.
Ali, Dane, and Rip turned in, more interested in sleep than food. And the last thing the Cargo-apprentice remembered was seeing Jellico talking earnestly with Steen Wilcox as they both sipped steaming mugs of real Terran coffee. But with twelve hours of sleep behind them the three were less contented in confinement. No one had come near them and Van Rycke had not returned.
Give him my compliments, and tell him to go out and watch the snowdrops growing in Madison Square Garden." "Sure," said Master Maloney. Then Psmith, having smoothed the nap of his hat and flicked a speck of dust from his coat-sleeve, walked to the door of the inner room and went in.

To see Haarlem and its environs in June when the bulb farms are alight with tulips must be a delightful spectacle. In the fall of the year you are perforce content to read the names of the various farms as the train passes. The many-coloured vegetable carts remind you that Snyders and Van Steen painted here.

Philpotts and a gazebo what calls himself Waterman and about 'steen more of dem." A faint smile appeared upon Psmith's face. "And is Comrade Windsor in there, too, in the middle of them?" "Nope. Mr. Windsor's out to lunch." "Comrade Windsor knows his business. Why did you let them in?" "Sure, dey just butted in," said Master Maloney complainingly.
"No, that can scarcely be," replied the old grandfather; "but I have seen it, and I have tried to carve it in wood as I have kept it in my memory. In the Denmark, on board which I was, in Steen Bille's squadron, I had a man at my side it seemed as if the bullets were afraid of him!
