Cicely Yeovil sat in a low swing chair, alternately looking at herself in a mirror and at the other occupant of the room in the flesh. Both prospects gave her undisguised satisfaction. Without being vain she was duly appreciative of good looks, whether in herself or in another, and the reflection that she saw in the mirror, and the young man whom she saw seated at the piano, would have come with credit out of a more severely critical inspection. Probably she looked longer and with greater appreciation at the piano player than at her own image; her good looks were an inherited possession, that had been with her more or less all her life, while Ronnie Storre was a comparatively new acquisition, discovered and achieved, so to speak, by her own enterprise, selected by her own good taste. Fate had given her adorable eyelashes and an excellent profile. Ronnie was an indulgence she had bestowed on herself. Cicely had long ago planned out for herself a complete philosophy of life, and had resolutely set to work to carry her philosophy into practice. "When love is over how little of love even the lover understands," she quoted to herself from one of her favourite poets, and transposed the saying into "While life is with us how little of life even the materialist understands." Most people that she knew took endless pains and precautions to preserve and prolong their lives and keep their powers of enjoyment unimpaired; few, very few, seemed to make any intelligent effort at understanding what they really wanted in the way of enjoying their lives, or to ascertain what were the best means for satisfying those wants. Fewer still bent their whole energies to the one paramount aim of getting what they wanted in the fullest possible measure. [more]

Few Of The Blessings We Enjoy Are Of Greater Value Than The Gift Of Humour. The Pleasure Attendant Upon It Attracts Us Together, Forms An Incentive, And Gives A Charm To Social Intercourse, And, Unlike The Concentrating Power Of Love, Scatters Bright Rays In Every Direction. That Humour Is Generally Associated With Enjoyment Might Be Concluded From The Fact That The Genial And Good-Natured Are Generally The Most Mirthful, And We All Have So Much Personal Experience Of The Gratification It Affords, That It Seems Superfluous To Adduce Any Proofs Upon The Subject. "Glad" Is From The Greek Word For Laughter, And The Word "Jocund" Comes From A Latin Term Signifying "Pleasant." But We Can Trace The Results Of This Connection In Our Daily Observation. How Comes It To Pass That Many A Man Who Is The Life And Soul Of Social Gatherings, And Keeps His Friends In Delighted Applause, Sits, When Alone In His Study, Grave And Sedate, And Seldom, If Ever, Smiles In Reading Or Meditation? Is It Not Because Humour Is A Source Of Pleasure? We Are Not Joyously Disposed When Alone, Whereas In Society We Are Ready To Give And Receive Whatever Is Bright And Cheering. The First Question Which Now Presents Itself Is What Is Laughter? And Our Answer Must Be That It Is A Change Of Countenance Accompanied By A Spasmodic Intermittent Sound--A Modification Of The Voice--But That We Cannot Trace Its Physical Origin Farther Than To Attribute It To Some Effect Produced Upon The Sympathetic Nerve, Or Rather The System Of Nerves Termed Respiratory. These Communicate With Every Organ Affected In Mirth, But The Ultimate Connection Between Mind And Body Is Hidden From Our View. [more]

The Great Pacific Is The Scene Of Our Story. On A Beautiful Morning, Many Years Ago, A Little Schooner Might Have Been Seen Floating, Light And Graceful As A Seamew, On The Breast Of The Slumbering Ocean. She Was One Of Those Low, Black-Hulled Vessels, With Raking, Taper Masts, Trimly-Cut Sails, And Elegant Form, Which We Are Accustomed To Associate With The Idea Of A Yacht Or A Pirate. She Might Have Been The Former, As Far As Appearance Went; For The Sails And Deck Were White As Snow, And Every Portion Of Brass And Copper Above Her Water-Line Shone In The Hot Sun With Dazzling Brilliancy. But Pleasure-Seekers Were Not Wont, In Those Days, To Take Such Distant Flights, Or To Venture Into Such Dangerous Seas,--Dangerous Alike From The Savage Character Of The Islanders, And The Numerous Coral Reefs That Lie Hidden A Few Feet Below The Surface Of The Waves. Still Less Probable Did It Seem That The Vessel In Question Could Belong To The Lawless Class Of Craft To Which We Have Referred; For, Although She Had What May Be Styled A Wicked Aspect, And Was Evidently Adapted For Swift Sailing, Neither Large Guns Nor Small Arms Of Any Kind Were Visible. Whatever Her Nature Or Her Object, She Was Reduced, At The Time We Introduce Her To The Reader, To A State Of Inaction By The Dead Calm Which Prevailed. The Sea Resembled A Sheet Of Clear Glass. Not A Cloud Broke The Softness Of The Sky, In Which The Sun Glowed Hotter And Hotter As It Rose Towards The Zenith. The Sails Of The Schooner Hung Idly From The Yards; Her Reflected Image Was Distorted, But Scarcely Broken, By The Long, Gentle Swell; Her Crew, With The Exception Of The Watch, Were Asleep Either On Deck Or Down Below; And So Deep Was The Universal Silence, That, As The Vessel Rose And Fell With A Slow, Quiet Motion, The Pattering Of The Reef-Points On Her Sails Forcibly Attracted The Listener'S Attention, As Does The Ticking Of A Clock In The Deep Silence Of Night. A Few Sea-Birds Rested On The Water, As If In The Enjoyment Of The Profound Peace That Reigned Around; And Far Away On The Horizon Might Be Seen The Tops Of The Palm Trees That Grow On One Of Those Coral Islands Which Lie Scattered In Thousands, Like Beautiful Gems, On The Surface Of That Bright Blue Sea.
