Not but that he had his troubles with his womankind. Even with this his first Wife, whom he loved truly, and who truly loved him, there were scenes; the Lady having a judgment of her own about everything that passed, and the Man being choleric withal. Sometimes, I have heard, "he would dash his hat at her feet," saying symbolically, "Govern you, then, Madam!
There is hope for womankind, when "the fierce light which beats upon a throne" shows naught to mar the purity of the home-life which has adorned the palaces and the courts of Germany and of England, so far as these have been under the influence of the two Victorias. "When you say 'Germany," said our "little Fräulein" to us one day, "nobody is afraid; when you say 'Bismarck, everybody trembles."
Carey saw only the beauty and the veneer. He made the mistake of thinking that Tannis was what she seemed to be a fairly well-educated, up-to-date young woman with whom a friendly flirtation was just what it was with white womankind the pleasant amusement of an hour or season. It was a mistake a very big mistake.
Take our words for it we know mankind, and, above all, womankind. She cannot hold out for such a length of time; it is not in womanhood it is not in widowhood we know it, and that's enough. Keep a sharp lookout upon the widow, therefore, and within the twelvemonth you will catch her tripping and then the dukedom is your own."
They will keep you true to the order of things to the constitution of the universe. They will do this not so much by preaching at you, as by the influence of their very personality. The man who has gotten out of touch with womankind is not to be feared. He is to be pitied rather than feared, for he is out of harmony with the world he is disarmed.
I stood there, watching them drive off one by one. I was borne a little nearer to the door by the rush of people, and I was able, in most cases, to hear the directions of the men as they followed their womankind into the waiting vehicles. In nearly every case their destination was one of the famous restaurants.
Gibson was to bring his womankind out to the Hall. He thought that on the whole the interview had gone off a good deal better than he had expected, and felt rather proud of the invitation of which he was the bearer. Therefore Mrs. Gibson's manner of receiving it was an annoyance to him.
Even as Almighty God honoured His Mother above all womankind, the poet says, so this tree is set high above all trees of the forest. The command is laid upon the poet to make known his vision. There is a compulsion whereby a poet as it were has to send abroad the fair thought and knowledge wherewith he has been graced.
As Albinia wrote to Genevieve, they were in a state of siege, for only in the middle of the day did Mr. Kendal allow the womankind to venture out without an escort, the evening was disturbed by howlings at the gate, and all sorts of petty acts of spite were committed in the garden, such as injuring trees, stealing fruit, and carrying off the children's rabbits.
"It is in length of patience, and endurance, and forbearance, that so much of what is good in mankind and womankind is shown."
