'And now that the bride and bridegroom are gone, I suppose the wedding party can have their dance, sneered Urania, playing the first few bars of 'Sweethearts. But Brian of the Abbey had vanished immediately after his cousin, and no one was disposed for dancing; so, after a good deal of talk, Bessie's birthday party broke up.
"And what became of her?" asked Titianus, not without excitement. "Your predecessor, the prefect Haterius Nepos, took a particular fancy to it and carried it with him to Rome." "Why Urania of all others?" cried Titianus angrily. She, above all, ought not to be missing from the hall of audience of Caesar the pontiff of heaven! What is to be done?"
My master, doubtless absorbed in an equation, had not yet raised his head; I therefore waved my right hand towards the young lady, like a fish moving his fin, and on tiptoe I retired with a mysterious smile which might be translated "I will not be the one to prevent him committing an act of infidelity to Urania."
He wrenched himself free, crying out loud: 'Avast, I'm a protected whaler. I claim my protection. I've my papers to show, I'm bonded specksioneer to the Urania whaler, Donkin captain, North Shields port. As a protected whaler, the press-gang had, by the 17th section of Act 26 Geo.
A hostile reviewer might have been expected to indulge in one of the most familiar of cheap jokes, and to say that Urania had naturally fallen asleep over Keats's poems: but I am not aware that any critic of Adonais did actually say this.

Wendover was no doubt a great deal too wise to have any serious ideas about such a person as Ida Palliser; but he liked to talk to her, he liked to watch the sensitive colour come and go upon the perfect oval of her cheek, while the dark eye brightened or clouded with every change of feeling; and while he was yielding to these vulgar distractions there was no chance of his falling in love with Urania Rylance.

The criaturica, the leetle child of ourselfs!" "The baby?" I said confusedly. "IS there is there a BABY?" "You hear him?" said Enriquez, sending an appealing voice upward. "You hear him, Urania? You comprehend.
Urania was at her garden gate, fresh and elegant-looking in pale blue cambric. She smiled at Ida, and waved her a most gracious farewell.
