The venom of my f…

… heroin in the world to tide us over a single day in such a ghastly place, so we quit.” Here was another of Basil’s paradoxes in full working order. But they came quite differently from the lips of a steady-going serious-minded person of this kind. The personality of the Big Lion is his greatest asset in one way, but in another it handicaps him frightfully. His cynical manner, his habitual irony, the sensation he produces that he is making fun of one; all these make one inclined to dismiss everything that he says as ‘‘mere paradox” without inve…

The romance and rapture of the ineffable union which consentes Adeptship must not be profaned by the introduction of eommonplace cares.
