You have been my fetish from the first day I met you, and my worship has grown blinder every hour, Mildred.

We had a delightful luncheon, in spite of my poor old guest's infirmities; he had grown blinder and more tottering since last we met.

So with his spectacles von Hess got on again fairly well, but he grew blinder and blinder, and could do less and less every day.
