"While he is travelling," Merthyr repeated to Agostino, who had stood by during the brief dialogue, and led the way to the Corso. "He did not say how far!" was the old man's ejaculation. "But, good heaven! if you think he's on an unfortunate errand, why don't you stop him, advise him?" Merthyr broke out. "Advise him! stop him! my friend.
What is poison to most girls, Merthyr prescribed for her as medicine. He nourished her fainting spirit upon vanity. In silent astonishment Georgiana heard him address speeches to her such as dowagers who have seen their day can alone of womankind complacently swallow. He encouraged Tracy Runningbrook to praise the face of which she had hitherto thought shyly.
And if she had only shown the accustomed northern retenue, and merely looked all that she had to say 'preserved her dignity' our womanly critic would have been completely satisfied." "But, Merthyr, to parade her feelings, and then to go on appealing!" "On the principle that she ought to be ashamed of them, she was wrong." "If you had heard her utter abandonment!"
Will you cause her to come before me?" "Curiously," said Carlo, "I kept her for some purpose of the sort. Will I? and have a scandal now? Oh! no. Let her sleep." Whether he spoke from noble-mindedness or indifference, Merthyr could not guess. "I have a message from your friend Luciano.
She lay against him with her eyelids softly joined, and as he felt the breathing of her body, he marvelled to think how matter-of-fact they had both been on the brink of a tragedy, and how naturally she had, as it were, argued herself up to the gates of death. For want of what? "My sister may supply it," thought Merthyr.
"Surely, Merthyr, you should not be at a loss," she answered, in a somewhat unusual tone, that was half irony. Merthyr studied her face. Alone with her, he said: "I could almost suppose that she has seen this man." Georgiana smiled sadly. "I have not seen him, dear; and she has not told me so." "You think it was so?" "I can imagine it just possible." "What! while we were out and had left her!
At a safe distance of a day's riding lie the tartarean copper-forges of Swansea, the tartarean iron-forges of Merthyr; their sooty battle far away, and not, at such safe distance, a defilement to the face of the earth and sky, but rather an encouragement to the earth at least; encouraging the husbandman to plough better, if he only would.
But at his first words, the eager question came: "You will not force me to go up there?" "No; we can stay and talk here," said Merthyr. "And this is how I have found you. Do you suppose you have been hidden from us all this time? Perhaps you fancy you do not belong to your friends? Well, I spoke to all of your 'children, as you used to call them. Do you remember?
Merthyr said no more than that he would place messengers on the road to Brescia to carry news of the king's army. His voice was thick, and when Carlo laughed at him, his sensations strangely reversed their situations. There were two cloaked figures at different points in the descent of the stairs. These rose severally at Carlo's approach, took him to their bosoms, and kissed him in silence.
These are unmistakeable signs in Merthyr, though he has never been in love, and doesn't understand his case a bit. Tell me, do you think it impossible?" Georgiana answered dryly, "You have fallen into a fresh mistake." Exactly. Then let me rescue you from a similar fatality, Georgey. If your eyes are bandaged now..." "Are you going to be devoted to me also, Charlotte?"
