"Jacob," said Tom, "don't let us be kitchen; I'm togged out for the parlour." This point had just been arranged, and the articles put into the wherry, when the party made their appearance, Mr Tinfoil acting as master of the ceremonies. "Fair Titania," said he to the lady who appeared to demand, and therefore received, the most attention, "allow me to hand you to your throne."
Lily Pearl, after a great deal of fuss and fidgeting had elected to go as Titania, and Helen essayed Oberon. Juno, who was very musical, made quite a stately Sappho. Little, sedate Marjorie was an Alaskan-Indian Princess, and Rosalie rigged up a Puck costume which made her irresistible.
"When does she want to come?" "Is to-morrow too soon?" "The sooner the better. We've got a little spare room upstairs that she can have. I've got some ideas of my own about furnishing it for her. Send her round to-morrow afternoon." Titania Arrives
The result of this exposure was an attack of inflammation of the lungs, which kept him to his bed for a fortnight. He was habitually careless of his health, and perhaps he indulged in narcotics to a prejudicial extent. Hence he often became “hipped” and sometimes ill.

It's a remarkable name, Titania Chapman: there must be great virtue in prunes!

"Exactly! a seraph's gentle lapse a fairy's dream. Mamma, under such circumstances, you always remind me of Titania." "That is because you, yourself, are so like Bottom." "Miss Snowe did you ever hear anything like mamma's wit? She is a most sprightly woman of her size and age."
Murmurs of water and of breeze, faint odours, wandering streams of tepid air, stray bird-songs in fragment as when a door is opened and closed, the softness of moss, the coolness of shade, the glimpse of occult affairs in the woods life, accompany her as Titania her court.
