graceful Apollo: he is present to your imagination,- tall, fair,
blue-eyed, and with a Grecian profile. Your eyes dwell on a Vulcan,- a
real blacksmith, brown, broad-shouldered: and blind and lame into
the bargain.'
'I never thought of it, before; but you certainly are rather like
Vulcan, sir.'

'You would often see him? He would visit the school sometimes?'
'Daily.'
'He would approve of your plans, Jane? I know they would be clever,
for you are a talented creature!'
