"Well what?" "A wisp of straw." "Alas," sighed the Empress. "What do you say, Florus?
It is hard to analyze a passionate love between highly gifted people who have an intense development of both the higher and the lower natures, and still more difficult when the idol is a Venus Polyhymnia rather than a Venus Urania. But the love of Antony, whether unwise, or mysterious, or unfortunate, was not feigned or forced: it was real, and it was irresistible; he could not help it.
"Ending?" May exclaimed, turning upon him that bright, straightforward look with which she met every statement of fact. "Ending? Why, you are not going away?" "Yes; I am off with the Stickneys early to-morrow morning." "In the Urania? You are in luck! But why didn't you tell us before?" "I couldn't bear to speak of it," he averred, and at the moment he almost believed he was speaking the truth.

'It is all new to her. 'Yes, dear, it is all new and interesting to me, said Ida.

Urania asked the name of this last Shepherd: he then made bare his branded and ensanguined brow, which was like Cain's or Christ's. Another Mountain Shepherd, 'the gentlest of the wise, leaned over the deathbed. Adonais has drunk poison. Some 'deaf and viperous murderer' gave him the envenomed draught.
'Eh, lad! there's no misdoubtin' it. He were thought a deal on by t' captain o' t' Urania; and when he niver come back on t' day when she ought for to have sailed, he sent to Kinraid's people at Cullercoats, and they sent to Brunton's i' Newcassel, and they knew he'd been here.
On the road to Lochias he had informed the young sculptor of the business in hand, and had told him in a condescending tone that he would be permitted to try his skill in reconstructing the Urania. At the gate he had permitted Pollux to greet his parents, and had gone alone into the palace to open his bargain with the architect without the presence of witnesses.
