In the centre of the other were merry laughing ripples, like the bubbles on a glass of wine. They danced before him. "Who are you," asked the hunter, "who alone come to me in my solitude and darkness?" "We are the twins Sensuality," they cried. "Our father's name is Human-Nature, and our mother's name is Excess.
When her voice grew sharp and weaker, in order to retain consideration and make herself important, she devoted herself to predicting the future; her versatile mind, her ambition, and the knowledge of human-nature gained in the camp and during her wanderings from land to land, aided her to acquire remarkable skill in this strange pursuit.

Her adorers were divided between the longing to lie down under her feet and to fold her protectingly in their arms. Calf-love is an undying element in human-nature, a shame-faced derogatory name for the romantic, self-immolating emotion woven from fancy, yearning and the infection of other's ardour.

Mr. Silas Peckham had gone a little deeper than he meant, and come upon the "hard pan," as the well-diggers call it, of the Colonel's character, before he thought of it.
