Reporters are not admitted, for the eating is not done for inspection, like that of the hapless inmates of a menagerie; but La Maga herself sometimes brings away in her pocket a stanza or so which she esteems worthy of a more general communication. Last month she thus sequestered the following Farewell addressed by Holmes to the historian of William the Silent.
Kagig nodded without any symptom of annoyance or reproach. "There is an ancient castle in the hills up yonder," he said, "in which there may be many Armenians hiding." He took it for granted we would go and find out, and Maga recognized the drift. "Very well," she said. "Let that one go, and that one," pointing at Fred and me.
But the crowning consideration is this, that should you undertake the protection of your darling Maga, an arrangement with Mr Blackwood, and the publication of "Napper Tandy" in his incomparable pages, would seal the fate of the counterfeit, and forcibly recall to the mind of Reprint & Co. the sigh of Othello over his lost occupation. You stare but it follows, by demonstration
There is a weariness in your face and a languor in your manner mournfully prophetic of failing health. Either give up your situation s governess or abandon your writing. I certainly recommend the former, as I can not spare you from 'Maga." Here the carriage stopped at Mrs. Andrews's door, and as he handed her out Mr. Manning said: "Edna, my friend, promise me that you will not write to-night."
Wordsworth often writes like an idiot; and never more so than when he said of Milton, 'His soul was like a star, and dwelt apart! For it dwelt in tumult, and mischief, and rebellion. Wordsworth is, in all things, the reverse of Milton, a good man, and a bad poet. "Tickler. What! that Wordsworth whom Maga cries up as the Prince of Poets? "North.
But assure them, dear Godfrey, that they are in no conceivable danger. Maga shall growl, and they shall fawn; but the republicans will not be repulsed by the honest frankness of the one nor propitiated by the hypocritical blandishments of the others.
Will was quite able to take care of any single opponent, and would have resented aid. Suddenly, however, Gregor Jhaere reached inside his shirt. Maga screamed. Rustum Khan beside me swore a rumbling Rajput oath, and we all four leapt to our feet. Maga drew no weapon, although she certainly had both dagger and pistol handy.
We could read the motto plainly now Per terram et aquam By land and sea; and Kagig pointed to some marks on the stone slab. Moss had grown in them and lichens, but he or else Maga had scraped them clean; and there on the stone lay the same legend graven bold and deep, as clear now as when the last crusader of the family was buried there, lord knew how many centuries before.
To your surprise, you will find Maga in every library and reading-room from the Independent Union Lyceum of Jeffersonville, in New Hampshire, to the Congressional lobbies at Washington. And I assure you, they not only take it in, but they read it out and out.
"You certainly have not decided to give up the editorship of 'Maga, as you spoke of doing last winter. It would not survive your desertion six months." "My allusion was to yourself, not to the magazine, which I presume I shall edit as long as I live. Miss Earl, this state of affairs cannot continue.
