"How childish of you, Beatrice. She is only plaster. I never knew you such a baby." "I cannot help it, Antony. I know it is foolish, but I cannot help it. I think living in this place has made me morbid. HOW CHILDISH OF YOU BEATRICE SHE IS ONLY PLASTER I NEVER KNEW YOU SUCH A BABY I CANNOT HELP IT ANTONY I KNOW IT IS FOOLISH BUT I CANNOT HELP IT I THINK LIVING IN THIS PLACE HAS MADE ME MORBID
 see how happy she looks. Why should we pity one who can smile like that? See how peaceful she looks;" and with a sudden whim, Antony took the image and set it lying back on a soft cushion in a corner of the couch, at the same time throwing round its neck his black cloak, which he had cast off as he came in. The image nestled into the cushion as though it had veritably been a living woman weary for sleep, and softly smiling that it was near at last. So comfortable she seemed, you could have sworn she breathed. Antony lifted her head once or twice with his fingers, to delight himself with seeing her sink back luxuriously once more. Beatrice grew more and more white. "Antony, please stop. I cannot bear it. She looks so terribly alive." At that moment Antony's touch had been a little too forcible, the image hung poised for a moment and then began to fall in the direction of Beatrice. "Oh, she is falling," she almost screamed, as Antony saved the cast from the floor. "For God's sake, stop! ICK TO HER CHEEK POOR GIRL BUT SEE HOW HAPPY SHE LOOKS WHY SHOULD WE PITY ONE WHO CAN SMILE LIKE THAT SEE HOW PEACEFUL SHE LOOKS AND WITH A SUDDEN WHIM ANTONY TOOK THE IMAGE AND SET IT LYING BACK ON A SOFT CUSHION IN THE CORNER OF THE COUCH AT THE SAME TIME THROWING ROUND ITS NECK HIS BLACK CLOAK WHICH HE HAD CAST OFF AS HE CAME IN THE IMAGE NESTLED INTO THE CUSHION AS THOUGH IT HAD VERITABLY BEEN A LIVING WOMAN WEARY FOR SLEEP AND SOFTLY SMILING THAT IT WAS NEAR AT LAST SO COMFORTABLE SHE SEEMED YOU COULD HAVE SWORN SHE BREATHED ANTONY LIFTED HER HEAD ONCE OR TWICE WITH HIS FINGERS TO DELIGHT HIMSELF WITH SEEING HER SINK BACK LUXURIOUSLY ONCE MORE BEATRICE GREW MORE AND MORE WHITE ANTONY PLEASE STOP I CANNOT BEAR IT SHE LOOKS SO TERRIBLY ALIVE AT THAT MOMENT ANTONY'S TOUCH HAD BEEN A LITTLE TOO FORCIBLE THE IMAGE HUNG POISED FOR A MOMENT AND THEN BEGAN TO FALL IN THE DIRECTION OF BEATRICE OH SHE IS FALLING SHE ALMOST SCREAMED AS ANTONY SAVED THE CAST FROM THE FLOOR FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP
