Certainly, to a mind of less strength there would have been something very unsettling in those vague hints of a station higher than he owned, of a future at variance with the toilsome lot he had drawn from the urn; but after a single glance over his lone position in all its bearings and probable expectations, Ardworth's steady sense shook off the slight disturbance such misty vaticinations had effected.
The condition, say of Bury, in Lancashire, at that time, contrasted with its condition to-day, is the adequate answer to these dreary vaticinations. One resident of the Lake District was as energetic and hopeful as Southey was despondent. This was Harriet Martineau, whom Mr. Greg first introduced to the captivating beauty of Westmoreland, and whom he induced in 1850 to settle there.

And whether we view him in his earlier or his later mood there is a certain strange dignity of utterance, a singular confidence in his own poetic mission, which forbids us to smile at this prophet of four-and- twenty who could thus conclude his menacing vaticinations: "Away, my soul, away!

The more practical father might chide such overreaching vaticinations, might reiterate "Do not fill the boy's head with nonsense." The answer would be "I know it. Our son is a genius." And Dore pere gave way, under circumstances curious enough. In 1847 the family visited Paris, there to Gustave's delight spending four months.
