'I have often wondered how your newspaper men got their information, he said, and muttered: 'Money-women! adding: 'Idiots to prime them! And I one of the leaky vessels! Well, we learn. I have been rather astonished at times of late at the scraps of secret knowledge displayed by Tonans. If he flourishes his thousands! The wonder is, he doesn't corrupt the Ministers' wives. Perhaps he does.
'Some will have it to be the Jupiter Tonans of Phidias, and others the Venus of Paphos from Praxiteles; but I don't think it fierce enough for the first, nor handsome enough for the last.... Therefore I am inclined to join with Signor Julio de Pampedillo, who, in a treatise dedicated to the King of the Two Sicilies, calls it the Serapis of the Egyptians, and supposes it to have been fabricated about eleven hundred and three years before the Mosaic account of the creation. A bystander inquires what has become of the nose of the bust?
She heard the voice of Mr. Tonans: 'Not more than two! This was not a place for compliments. Men passed her, hither and yonder, cursorily noticing the presence of a woman. She lost, very strangely to her, the sense of her sex and became an object a disregarded object. Things of more importance were about. Her feminine self-esteem was troubled; all idea of attractiveness expired.
"Her royal highness the Duchess of Orleans, and the Duke de Chartres," cried the gentleman usher. Louis rose from his arm-chair, and advanced to greet his eccentric sister-in-law. Suddenly he drew back, and looked like a Jupiter Tonans.

The painters and sculptors, most artful of courtiers in their calling, had already represented the King, now with the attributes of Apollo, now in the costume of the god Mars, of Jupiter Tonans, Neptune, lord of the waves; now with the formidable and vigorous appearance of the great Hercules, who strangled serpents even in his cradle.
Tonans, and he refreshingly bent his back to bow over her hand: so we have the satisfaction of knowing that we are not such poor creatures after all! Suffering in person, Danvers was revived by the little show of homage to her sex. They descended the stairs.

The secret of a day, no more: anybody's secret after some four and twenty hours. She smiled at the fancied elongation and stare of the features of Mr. Tonans in his editorial midnight den. What if he knew it and could cap it with something novel and stranger?
Tonans; 'Some other woman, Sir Lukin said, and himself. He reported the cookery as matching the conversation, and that was princely; the wines not less an extraordinary fact to note of a woman. But to hear Whitmonby and Diana Warwick!
