In retrospect she explained the holding of her arms in the air by saying, “I thought you wanted me to have them up.” Henrietta B. at one examination kept her arms raised in the position in which they had been put for a minute and then dropped them, saying, “Stop mesmerizing me.” But she then put them up again of her own accord and now presented intense resistance to any motion.
That predominating affection for our political system which prevails throughout our territorial limits, that calm and enlightened judgment which ultimately governs our people as one vast body, will always be at hand to resist and control every effort, foreign or domestic, which aims or would lead to overthrow our institutions. What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this?
In order to understand the insurrection at Genoa in April 1849, in the quelling of which H.M.S. Vengeance and its captain, the Earl of Hardwicke, took so notable a part, it is necessary to take a short retrospect of the history of Italy. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars the opinion of Prince Metternich that Italy is only a geographical expression was true enough.
The art of verisimilitude is found alone in detail. Let me go back, then, for a brief summary of some of the principal events and personages of Monfort Hall and Beauseincourt, the earlier portions of this retrospect. I will begin with the La Vignes. They continue to reside under the same roof, and Bellevue awaits its master.
Say that in twenty minutes, or, at the outside, in half-an-hour, any ordinarily glib talker might have rattled through these comic recollections of Mr. Magsman, yet, when rattled through by Dickens, the laughter awakened seems now in the retrospect to have been altogether out of proportion.
For the natures of brother and sister were strongly similar light- hearted and happy, laughing and gay, keen to enjoy life, but reading some part of its mysteries, understanding some of its sorrows and showing at times evidences of searching thought and grave retrospect. "How many dollars' worth do we have?" the boy asked in imitation of Aunt Rebecca's mercenary way. "Oh, Phil! You're dreadful!
Nothing had changed these past six years. Yet everything had changed. She saw it all as in a dream, for her mind had no time for reverie or retrospect; it was set on one thing only. Yet behind the one idea possessing her there was a subconscious self taking note of all these sights and sounds, and bringing moisture to her eyes.
At the close of the eighth century we cast back a grateful retrospect on the Christian ages of Ireland. Can we do so now, at the close of the eleventh? Alas! far from it.
From the bridge over the Arun is a very beautiful retrospect of the valley towards Arundel with the hills falling in graceful curves to the river. The church is Early English of a severe type; here is a fifteenth century brass but nothing more of much interest. A mile from Houghton Bridge will bring us to Amberley.
At this period there seems to be no promise yet of himself, and what one might now, in a retrospect, regard as a pledge for his future greatness, amounts to no more than a juxtaposition of traits which inspire more dismay than hope; a restless and excitable spirit, nervously eager to undertake a hundred things at the same time, passionately fond of almost morbidly exalted states of mind, and ready at any moment to veer completely round from calm and profound meditation to a state of violence and uproar.
