The coachman was instructed to purchase for him the handsomest pony which could be bought for money, and on this George was taught to ride, first at a riding-school, whence, after having performed satisfactorily without stirrups, and over the leaping-bar, he was conducted through the New Road to Regent's Park, and then to Hyde Park, where he rode in state with Martin the coachman behind him.
"All right," replied Jim, "I don't mind restin'. I feel about ez lazy ez Sol Hyde looks." But Henry Ware had another and more important thing in mind. His was the keenest eye of them all, and just before landing he had noticed to the southward and on the other side of the peninsula a faint, dark line against the edge of the sunset.
And to witness the passing of this Age, London its pet and fancy was pouring forth her citizens through every gate into Hyde Park, hub of Victorianism, happy hunting-ground of Forsytes. Under the grey heavens, whose drizzle just kept off, the dark concourse gathered to see the show.
Whatever the truth, Lady Malmesbury's comment after the event was indisputable: "I feel very sorry for Sir Hyde; but no wise man would ever have gone with Nelson, or over him, as he was sure to be in the background in every case."
Mithras was the sun and he was also the God of the Persians; and according to Ovid's account horses were offered in sacrifice to him, Placat equo Persis radiis Hyperiona cinctum, Ne detur celeri victima tarda Deo. But Mr. Hyde believes that they only made use of the sun and fire in their worship as symbols of the Divinity.
"When you were at your worst you would talk of it, and sometimes of what happened to you in London, of that ride in Hyde Park, or or of Vauxhall," she continued hurriedly. "And when I could bear it no longer, I would take your hand and call you by name, and often quiet you thus." "And did I speak of aught else?" I asked eagerly. "Oh, yes.
"This Master Hyde, if he were studied," thought he, "must have secrets of his own; black secrets, by the look of him; secrets compared to which poor Jekyll's worst would be like sunshine. Things cannot continue as they are. It turns me cold to think of this creature stealing like a thief to Harry's bedside; poor Harry, what a wakening!
Besides his own convictions, loyalty to these memories, that were sacred for him, kept Hyde true to the Church. Before following further the events which were to shape his policy as Minister, it is well to turn to others which had a more immediate personal concern for him. The first of these struck home to his feelings as a father, and was to have far-reaching consequences in a wider field.
In the end Hyde was thrown to the ground, and received two nasty kicks one in the forehead, the other in the breast from the heels of the excited horse. The sailor got clear away, and our friend Hyde was picked up senseless half-an-hour later by a passing ambulance-cart, and carried back to camp. McKay, on returning to the Crimea, had resumed his duties at headquarters.
It is sheer nonsense, therefore, for Judith to say that I cannot enter into her feelings with regard to Mrs. Willoughby's invitation. I developed this theme very fully to Judith as we sat in Kensington Gardens and during our subsequent, stroll diagonally through Hyde Park to the Marble Arch.
