I had a pretty bad night after that, and was not much in the mood for Fox on the morrow.

The sight of her had dwarfed everything; the thought of her disgusted me with everything, made me out of conceit with the world--with that part of the world that had become my world.

I wanted to get up into hers--and I could not see any way.

The room in which Fox sat seemed to be hopelessly off the road--to be hopelessly off any road to any place; to be the end of a blind alley.

One day I might hope to occupy such a room--in my shirt-sleeves, like Fox.
