Excerpt from The Fox-WomanBack to the painting for a moment again, if you please, for this, to Western notions. Was the most permanent of his two occupations. We should probably have called one work - the other play. But to Marn shida neither of them was work, nor yet exactly play. He would not have been able quite to explain it. But they were distinct parts of his life, as breathing and eating were. If you took them away, or either of them, h...

"Well?" I inquired, testily. "Suppose They do not like it?" sighed the god. "Why should They not?" demanded...

Excerpt from The Fox-Woman Back there in the tiny garden, where you with American boots on would be afi'aid to tread for fear of disturbing the balance of some thing, they were. The ¿owers he cared for most in all that ¿ower land, - because of their daintiness and evanescence and fragility. Like air they seemed - or a sentiment - or perfume. He was an artist, remember. And his skill with them was something marvellous. The world heard of them ...
