"If that's your object you'll be aiming at the impossible," remarked Toby, "like that silly school-master you read me about in Browning who aimed at a million."

Lily laughed.
"I thought you were going to say, 'Oh, I love crab!'" she said.

"That's what the Christian scientists say," remarked Lily. "They say there is no such thing as lies or evil or pain."
"Who are the Christian scientists?" asked Toby. "And what do they make of toothache?"
Lily meditated a moment.
