The worthy burgess was no sooner gone than his plump daughter, Trudchen, with many a blush, and many a wreathed smile, which suited very prettily with lips like cherries, laughing blue eyes, and a skin transparently pure escorted the handsome stranger through the pleached alleys of the Sieur Pavillon's garden, down to the water side, and there saw him fairly embarked in a boat, which two stout Flemings, in their trunk hose, fur caps, and many buttoned jerkins, had got in readiness with as much haste as their low country nature would permit.
It was so transparently clear that Maggie bore no malice against any one in the world, that when she angered Grace she did so always by accident, never by plan-it was only unfortunate that the accidents should occur so often. Maggie's days were from the very first of the utmost regularity. This regular day was varied with meetings, choir practices, dinner-parties, and an occasional Penny Reading.
One overtakes him, now and then, and catches him, as it were, off his guard, in little pathetic lapses into a curious simplicity a simplicity grave-eyed, portentious and solemn almost like that of some great Infant-Faun, trying very seriously to learn the difficult syllables of our human "Categorical Imperative"! World-child, as he was, the magic of the universe pouring through him, one sometimes feels a strange, dim hope with regard to that dubious general Issue, when we find him so confident about the presence of the mysterious Being he worshipped; and so transparently certain of his personal survival after Death!
"He very bad, he no eat nothing, he no say nothing, he never be no better," and all his Southern nature betrayed itself in a passionate burst of lamentation. But now that he began to feel easy about his master, his ready optimism declared itself no less transparently. "He better every day now. He get well in few weeks, sure. You see him on hoss in little while."
So transparently white grew his skin, so huge and velvety his black eyes, so serious his finely chiselled mouth, that even Celestine and Cerisette began to feel, somewhere beneath that hardened outer shell of "temperament," a disregarded organ filled with a long-forgotten, aching sensation that was not to be encouraged.
"And you still wish to taste the wine?" "With your permission, yes!" He looked up in her eyes. There was permission: there was something more, that was flattering to his vanity. He took the wine-glass, and, slowly and in silence, filled it from the mysterious flask. The wine fell into the glass clearly, transparently, heavily, but still and cold as death.
Then I understood why men have invented gods, subscribed to irrational systems of theology, hailed and accredited transparently ridiculous miracles. Such lies are necessary to certain stages of development simply for the preservation of sanity, just as, at another stage, sanity, for its own preservation, is necessarily driven to declare their falsehood.
It became an angel, a fairy, a woman Julia. She flew not far off, level with his eyes and, as she approached, she slowed her stately flight. Billy made no movement. He only stood and waited and watched. But perhaps never before in his life had his eyes become so transparently the windows of his soul. Quite as intently, Julia's eyes, big, gray, and dark-lashed, considered him.
For was not she a child after all, transparently simple and candid, and very much a woman-child at that! Tom turning on his side raised himself on one elbow, smiling at her with easy good-nature. "How charming of you to adopt me as a special object of thought, and care so much about my going." But patronage proved short-lived. The girl's colour deepened, but her eyes dwelt on him coldly.
Le Breton, I don't think myself our cliffs ever look grander, or our sea more impressive, than in stormy winter weather. 'I wish to goodness she wasn't so transparently candid and guileless, thought Harry to himself. 'I never CAN teach her duly to respect the prejudices of Pi.
