It is, however, something of an injustice to class them together: for Afra was a woman of very great ability, with a suspicion of genius, while Head was at the very best a bookmaker of not quite the lowest order, though pretty near it.
Surely, if they had been like him, they would not have treated us as they did. Afra says she does not believe, anybody like him ever lived." "Afra is a pestilent little fool." "Oh, grandpapa!" "Well, well! She is a very good girl in her way; but she talks about what she does not understand.
"My child, there is danger in the air we breathe, and the ground we tread on: but there is protection also, everywhere." "You will see Afra, father," said Aimee. "If there is danger, what will become of Afra? Her father will be in the front, in any disturbance: and Government-house is far from being the safest place." "I will not forget Afra. Farewell, my children!
"They were the apostles of Zeal," said Monsieur Pascal. "For the honour of the Gospel they suffered and died. They overlooked all that it teaches of toleration and universal love; of peace on earth and good-will to men." "None of these Christians," said Afra, "appear to have had much concern for men.
"You are the guest of Monsieur Raymond while Afra is here. When she sets out, we will go home." "And shall I have to be swung up to the balcony, and have my brains dashed out, while all the nuns are staring at me?" "Oh, no," replied Euphrosyne, laughing. "There will be nothing then to prevent your going in your own carriage to your own door.
"Trust me!" said Toussaint, smiling. "I will not annoy Monsieur Revel. I will merely reassure him, and tell him a little good news; and then leave him to his repose." "Yes, Afra," interposed Euphrosyne. "Oh yes, please your Excellency, do go! I will tell him you are coming."
The only hit is his scheme for a female university, with Mrs. Manly and Mrs. Afra Behn in the chair of literature. His summary of woman's character and occupations was given earlier, with more brevity and wit, and no less truth, by Pope. To Sophia's historical illustrations he opposes female types named Tremula, Bellnina, Novilia, etc.
The next morning at the appointed time I met Afra at the station. "How do I look?" she asked, standing up for my inspection as soon as I appeared in sight, at the same time regarding as much of her dress as it was possible for her to see. But before I could reply the satisfied expression of her face changed: an unpleasant discovery had been made.
I asked as we moved from the door. "Who ever heard of entering Bohemia in a cab?" laughed Afra dryly. "People have been known to drive out in their own carriages, but they always make their first appearance there on foot, or at best in an omnibus." "As you please," I replied, trying to keep pace with her rapid step, which showed constant practice.
The rocks were sought out in maps, and found to be specks lying between County Antrim and Scotland no doubt terrible in their reality. Another day brought something more definite. It WAS the Afra, "wrecked in the fog of October 11th. Boats got off." That was all; but a day's post brought letters, of which the fullest was from Dolores: "CORNCASTLE, LARNE, CO. ANTRIM, IRELAND, October 12.
