The Golden Bowl

'Do you think it would be good for you?'

American City isn't, by the way…'

Personally, he considered, he hadn't the vices…

Mrs Assingham, precisely, represented…

Chapter 2

I scarce know what to make,' she said…

Full of discriminations against the obvious…

He looked at her on this with conscious…

Chapter 3

His visible insistence - for it came to that…

He was eager, and he tried to show her that…

She pitied his feeling about it…

Chapter 4

They wouldn't lavish on them all…

'You don't torment me as much as you would…'

Bob Assingham had a queer grim laugh…

He accepted her laugh, but he kept his way

Chapter 5

Half the interest of the thing at least…

He was glad when, finally…

Chapter 6

Behind the dealer were sundry small cupboards…

Simple, but singularly elegant, it stood…

The Prince, on the other side…

Part Second. Chapter 1

The Miss Lutches, the sisters from the middle…

There had not yet been quite so much…

In regard to the people among whom…

Chapter 2

He took life in general higher up the stream…

Mrs Rance at least controlled…

Chapter 3

The extent to which they enjoyed…

He might at times reflect…

Chapter 4

'You mean,' he went on…

He gave at this the quickest shake…

His companion, however, was so launched…

'Well then, I hope I'm humble enough…'

Chapter 5

Ah, it's she who's the real thing?'

These persons, accordingly, her own …

It had struck him, up to now…

Chapter 6

He didn't betray it - ah that he knew…

She had another pause, and she might…

'About you?' she thoughtfully echoed.

Chapter 7

Mr Verver considered. 'Well, hasn't he…?'

'I speak of it only as the missing grace…'

Part Third. Chapter 1

He was always lonely at great parties…

'You say your husband's ill?'

Fanny had indeed never listened to emphasis…

The perception of this excess…

Chapter 2

He could easily go on…

Chapter 3

'Maggie herself of course…'

She was fully upon him now…

Chapter 4

For the Prince himself, meanwhile…

Charlotte Stant, at such an hour…

Chapter 5

'I can't help wondering when you must last…'

'What will you say,' she meanwhile asked…

Chapter 6

The Prince had, on this score…

He knew, as well, the other things…

Chapter 7

Both our friends felt afresh…

Chapter 8

'I don't mean there was anything to rectify…'

Amerigo, with the chink of this gold…

Chapter 9

Lady Castledean's dream of Mr Blint…

Resting on the parapet…

Chapter 10

'Are you speaking now of something…'

The Colonel didn’t in fact know…

Chapter 11

'I see.' He nodded. 'To the wrong.'

'I naturally see, love…'

'In their way - yes!' the Colonel grinned.

'He hadn't worked them out in detail…'

Book Second. The Princess. Part 4. Chapter 1

She had lived long enough…

If she herself had now avoided…

It had made for him some difference…

Chapter 2

He had 'met' her - she so put it to herself…

She recovered soon enough on the whole…

By the end of a week, the week that had begun…

He looked at her, after such speeches…

Chapter 3

Maggie had liked, in London, and in the world…

He had had time to become aware of this…

Touch by touch she thus dropped…

She heard herself, heard her tone…

Chapter 4

This last was a danger indeed…

The ingenuity had been…

Upstairs, while she left him…

Chapter 5

She had felt for fifty seconds…

'"The immorality"?' she had pleasantly echoed.

'More company' at Fawns would be effectually…

Chapter 6

'You've such a dread of my possibly…'

'Anything there shouldn't be…'

'Are you thinking of their being…'

'Ah, there wouldn't be any terror…'

Chapter 7

'By acting, immediately with the blind…'

'She lets you off?' He never failed…

The Colonel's gratitude was apt to be…

Chapter 8

She could keep it up with a change in sight…

It had been an impression that penetrated…

Chapter 9

She caught, however, after a second's thought…

The aggravation of fear - or call it, apparently…

'He can't say or do more.'

Fanny at first, however, feeling the response…

'Am I in the least sure that…'

Chapter 10

It was extraordinary, this quality…

'She has had to do with it…'

Maggie had listened with an interest…

'You've never been more sacred to me…'

Part Fifth. Chapter 1

They made, none the less, at Fawns…

'Why, just by that. I put him in possession…'

It was her one purely good fortune…

He had flushed up, quite red…

Chapter 2

She walked to the end and far out…

Yes, Charlotte had seen she was watching her…

I've been wanting - and longer than you'd…'

Chapter 3

'Oh yes,' he responded philosophically…

'What I don't mean,' she observed…

'Your reputation there? You've given it up…'

Ah, then it was that the cup of her conviction…

Chapter 4

So it was that her inner sense…

So it was that in the house itself…

There was a morning when, during the hour…

Chapter 5

The acceptance, strangely, would have left her…

She went to her room, through the quiet house…

It was a repetition more than ever then…

'I'm glad to see you alone…'

Part Sixth. Chapter 1

'"The reduction to its simplest expression…"'

Whoever knew, or whoever didn't…

Chapter 2

'If they do everything that's proper,'…

She couldn't have been sure beforehand…

The Prince kept his eyes on her.

Chapter 3

He might have been, in silence…

Nothing he could try, she immediately saw…
