"Surely you know better than that!" said Juliet. "Oh, I know him awfully well," said Mrs. Fielding, with her reckless laugh. "Are you really thinking of coming to live with us?" "You haven't asked me yet," said Juliet. "Oh, that doesn't matter. You'll come if you think you will; and if you don't, nothing will induce you. But let me tell you my husband will be furious with me if you don't."
In the first place, it would be necessary to slip off unobserved. For although Mrs. Tomkins, by her own account, would be glad to have Mr. Jeminy back again, Juliet felt that she could not explain to Mrs. Tomkins exactly what she intended to do. As for the trip, an umbrella in case of rain, and the company of Sara would be sufficient.
Everybody has heard of the marvellous effect produced on Berlioz's ardent imagination by the Juliet of Miss Smithson. He relates in his memoirs that an English critic said that after seeing Miss Smithson in Juliet he had cried out, "I will marry that woman, and write my grandest symphony on this play." "I did both things," he adds, "but I never said anything of the sort."
"You're real mean," she said, "you and the Prince both. It's just as bad as when you thought it your duty to tell me there was no Santa Claus. But I don't care; there is. I shall believe it when I'm seventeen; and I believe in the Romeo and Juliet houses too." But when we were in the street of Juliet's house she and Sir Ralph and I Beechy pouted.
"They say they want me to answer immediately, you know." "Oh well, I don't know. In a few days. You will hardly be ready to start to-morrow, will you?" "I could be ready, easily," said Juliet. "You're in a great hurry to get away from us," said Sir Arthur, with a rather uneasy laugh. "Not from you." Juliet put her arm through his.
The unwelcome daybreak seemed to come too soon, and when Juliet heard the morning song of the lark, she would have persuaded herself that it was the nightingale, which sings by night, but it was too truly the lark which sang, and a discordant and unpleasing note it seemed to her; and the streaks of day in the east too certainly pointed out that it was time for these lovers to part.
Now was Romeo blest indeed, and Juliet, who knew his intent from a messenger which she had dispatched according to promise, did not fail to be early at the cell of friar Lawrence, where their hands were joined in holy marriage; the good friar praying the heavens to smile upon that act, and in the union of this young Mountague and young Capulet to bury the old strife and long dissensions of their families.
"Especially to be driven so near it against one's will, and yet succeed in getting past without touching it," said the curate, with a flavor of asperity. His wife gently pinched his arm, and he was ashamed. When they reached home, Juliet went straight to bed or at least to her room for the night.
'Certainly, replied Nicholas: devoutly hoping that it would be a very long time before he was honoured with this distinction. 'Then I'll tell you what we'll do, said Mr Crummles. 'You shall study Romeo when you've done that piece don't forget to throw the pump and tubs in by-the-bye Juliet Miss Snevellicci, old Grudden the nurse. Yes, that'll do very well.
Moved in his soul by the sound of his own words, but himself the harp upon which the fingers of a mightier Nature than he knew were playing a prelude to a grander phantasy than he could comprehend, Faber caught the hand of Juliet where it gleamed white in the gathering gloom. But she withdrew it, saying in a tone which through the darkness seemed to him to come from afar, tinged with mockery.
