Theobald said he was "willing to hope" this was one of his tags that his son would turn over a new leaf now that he had left school, and for his own part he was "only too ready" this was another tag to let bygones be bygones.
"Some one has compared the glow-worm's light to Hero's, when she waited, with trimmed lamp, for her Leander," said Professor Theobald. "Look here, Mr. Fleming, if you stoop down just here, you will be able to see the little animal." The Professor resigned his place to him. When Joseph rose from his somewhat indifferent survey of the insect, Professor Theobald had established himself at Mrs.
Fenwick, won't you give us a song!" cried Madame Bertaux. "I see you have been kind enough to bring your guitar." Marion was enthroned upon the picnic-basket, with much pomp, and her guitar placed in her hand by Claude Moreton. Her figure, in her white gown and large straw hat, had for background the shadows of thick woods. Professor Theobald sank down on the grass at Hadria's side.

"And we must do it?" "We must do it, else he will publish the boy's disgrace." "And must Bawn go with us, Toby?" "Yes; we have to do it thoroughly. The invitation included Bawn. She will not feel it as we shall; and she knows nothing of our cause for unhappiness." "She does not look over-happy," my grandmother said, and sighed. "I wish Theobald were home and that they were married."
Burmistone, whom we cannot pass over; and here is Lady Theobald, who will turn to stone the moment she sees him, though, goodness knows, I am sure he seems a very quiet, respectable man, and said some of the most complimentary things about your playing.
Her religious opinions coincided absolutely with Theobald's own, and many a conversation did she have with him about the glory of God, and the completeness with which they would devote themselves to it, as soon as Theobald had got his living and they were married.
