"Ah!" said Julian. "Perhaps I haven't that power."
"But I have."
"Yes, you have."
"And I'll share my power with you. We are friends and comrades. We ought to share everything."
"Yes," exclaimed Julian, carried away. "Yes, by Jove, yes!"
"And as to this flame—"
"Ah!"
"We'll soon know if it's a vision or a reality. But it's a vision. You saw it in a woman's eyes."
"I'll swear I did."
"Then that proves it's a fraud. The flame in a woman's eyes never burnt true yet—never, Julian, since the days of Delilah."
