The Golden Bowl

PART THIRD
33/250

She proposes neither to claim it nor to use it with any sort of retentissement.

She would enjoy it, I think, quite as quietly as it might be given.

The 'boat,' you see"-- the Prince explained it no less considerately and lucidly--"is a good deal tied up at the dock, or anchored, if you like, out in the stream.

I have to jump out from time to time to stretch my legs, and you'll probably perceive, if you give it your attention, that Charlotte really can't help occasionally doing the same.
