Aminta cited corroboration of her being accurate: such was Lord Ormont! and although his qualities of gallantry, courtesy, integrity, honourable gentleman, presented a fair low-level account on the other side, she had so stamped his massive selfishness and icy inaccessibility to emotion on her conception of him that the repulsive figure formed by it continued towering when her mood was kinder.
They could tell that she was tall for a girl, or tallish not a maypole. She drank a cup of tea, and ate a slice of bread-and-butter; no cake. She appeared undisturbed when Matey, wearing his holiday white ducks, and all aglow, entered the booth. She was not expected to faint, only she stood for the foreign Aminta more than for their familiar Browny in his presence.
Cloris and Amyntas are now safe enough, and Carinus has the despised but faithful Amarillis to console him. The other pairs of lovers need not detain us further than to note that their adventures are equally borrowed from Tasso and Guarini. Silvia relates how, wounded by her 'cruelty, Palaemon sought to imitate Aminta by throwing himself from a cliff, but was prevented by her timely relenting.
She was, therefore, having smothered a good part of herself, accountably languid a condition alternating with fire in Aminta; and as Mr. Morsfield's letter supplied the absent element, her needy instinct pushed her to read his letter through. She had not yet done that with attention. Whether a woman loves a man or not, he is her lover if he dare tell her he loves her, and is heard with attention.
They were intended to be, if we are to call them bad. Botched mendings will only make them worse. 'Which side suffers? 'Both; and both like it. One side must be beaten at any game. It's off and on, pretty equal except in the sets where one side wears thick boots. Is this fellow for starting a mixed sexes school? Funny mothers! 'I suppose Aminta said, and checked the supposition.
Well, you know what my position with her has been one among the humble; and she has taken contradictions, accepted views from me, shown me she has warmth of heart to an extreme degree. Aminta slightly raised her hand. 'I will save you trouble. I have written to Lord Ormont. I have left him. Their eyes engaged on the thunder of this. 'The letter has gone?
A leaven of humour is the great safeguard against an author taking either himself or his creations too seriously. Randolph's Amyntas, it is true, renounces the high ideality of its predecessors, of the Aminta and the Pastor fido, of Hymen's Triumph and the Faithful Shepherdess; but it makes up for it by human sanity of feeling and expression, by good humour and by wit.
She was still asleep, but my step on the floor made her awake with a start. I did not even think it necessary to apologize. She told me that Tasso's Aminta had interested her to such an extent that she had read it till she fell asleep. "The Pastor Fido will please you still more." "Is it more beautiful?" "Not exactly." "Then why do you say it will please me more?" "Because it charms the heart.
You are pale. 'I 've no notion of it. 'Something happened it Ashead. 'It would not have damaged my complexion. He counted his money. Aminta covertly handed him her purse. Their fingers touched. The very minor circumstance of their landlady being in the room dammed a flood. Her money and his amounted to seventeen pounds. The sum-total was a symbol of days that were a fiery wheel.
Lawrence Finchley had spoken of it, and Aminta had acquiesced; in the gravely simple manner of women who may be thinking of it much more intently than the vivacious prattler.
