_Vague Sympathy._--In Fig. 18A we have another of the vague clouds, but
this time its green colour shows us that it is a manifestation of the
feeling of sympathy. We may infer from the indistinct character of its
outline that it is not a definite and active sympathy, such as would
instantly translate itself from thought into deed; it marks rather such
a general feeling of commiseration as might come over a man who read an
account of a sad accident, or stood at the door of a hospital ward
looking in upon the patients.
