"There's no question about it," said Roger, "an explosion now and then does one good. It's the first recognition I've ever had. If it weren't for poor dear old Bock Come, we've buried him in the back yard. I want to show you his grave." Over a pathetically small mound near the fence a bunch of big yellow chrysanthemums were standing in a vase. "Titania put those there," said Roger.
How about Bernhardi? Some of my Corn Cob friends tell me books are just merchandise. Pshaw!" "I haven't read much of Bernard Shaw" said Titania. "Did you ever notice how books track you down and hunt you out? They follow you like the hound in Francis Thompson's poem. They know their quarry! Look at that book The Education of Henry Adams!
In the fairies may be seen many reflections of cosmic characteristics. Oberon and Titania are fairies of the night, and the old battle between light and darkness shows itself in the mad pranks which they play on unsuspecting mortals. But as the daylight comes they are obliged to flee. Puck reflects the characteristics of a wind god.
Norman May, had eyes as bright and lively as ever, though face and form had both grown smaller, and she was more like a fairy godmother than the Titania she had been in times of old. She had got into the middle of all the varieties of children, dragged thither by Gertrude's Pearl and Audrey, and was making them happy.
Under what character, pray, does he attend you? I suppose he plays Oberon to your Titania?" Emily's face reddened. Some strong emotion heaved her bosom, and I saw that pride alone kept the starting tears from overflowing. "Charles," said she, with an attempt at assumed indifference, "will not be there at all; I am to go with Lady Forrester."
Not long before his death, Robert Stephenson spoke in glowing terms of the great pleasure and benefit which he had derived from that interesting excursion. “I have travelled far, and enjoyed much,” he said; “but that delightful botanical and geological journey I shall never forget; and I am just about to start in the Titania for a trip round the east coast of Scotland, returning south through the Caledonian Canal, to refresh myself with the recollection of that first and brightest tour of my life.”
"What an adorable little place," said Titania, looking round at the bookshop's space of private pavement, which was sunk below the street level. "You could put tables out here and serve tea in summer time." "The first thing every morning," continued Roger, "I set out the ten-cent stuff in these boxes. I take it in at night and stow it in these bins.
Oberon and Titania, who might have been as happy as the days were long, had thrown away all their joy in a foolish quarrel. They never met without saying disagreeable things to each other, and scolded each other so dreadfully that all their little fairy followers, for fear, would creep into acorn cups and hide them there.
"I! Oh, Maurice!" "Yes you! Yesterday, as it seems to me, I believed in everyone. To-day I doubt every soul I meet." At this point Hescott's "doubts," at all events, seem to be set at rest. His hand has ceased to wander over the pretty head, and in a low tone he says: "Titania!" This word is meant for Tita alone. A second later he calls aloud: "Lady Rylton!" But Maurice and Mrs.
"They think they're amused because they don't know what real amusement is! Laughter and prayer are the two noblest habits of man; they mark us off from the brutes. To laugh at cheap jests is as base as to pray to cheap gods. To laugh at Fatty Arbuckle is to degrade the human spirit." Titania thought she was getting in rather deep, but she had the tenacious logic of every healthy girl.
