At eight o'clock that evening a solemn cavalcade rode into Innsbruck. There were tears of expostulation in the eyes of the lone young woman, flashes of indignation in those of the tall young man who rode beside her. The tall young man was going to gaol! The anti-climax had struck the Hotel Tirol some hours before it came upon Brock and Miss Fowler.
It was an anti-climax, but the incalculable and peremptory processes of the heart often result in an anti-climax. The night was cold and damp, as the morning had been, and Hugo shivered, but not with cold. He shivered in the mere exciting eagerness of anticipation. He had chosen the drawing-room window because the panes were very large.
Dan told Brewster that only a poet could have had this inspiration. And Peggy added, "Anything after this would be an anti-climax. Really, Monty, you would better take us home." "I feel like the boy who was shut in a closet for punishment and found it the place where they kept the jam," said "Subway." "It is almost as good as owning Central Park."
And where we have so many elegant proportions, growing one out of the other, and all together into one, it seems as if proportion transcended itself, and became something different and more imposing. I could never fathom how a man dares to lift up his voice to preach in a cathedral. What is he to say that will not be an anti-climax?
"Yes, I'd give 'em Botany Bay, my word!" added the Member as an anti-climax. The Captain let go the helm with a suddenness which took our breath away, apparently regardless that we were going straight as an arrow on the Island of Pentecost, the shore of which, in its topaz and emerald tints, was pretty enough to look at but not to attack, end on.
In one of them, I remember, he was sitting by the fireside and a pair of live legs fell down the chimney and walked about the room by themselves. Afterwards the rest fell down and joined up; but this was almost an anti-climax. Now that is very charming, and full of the best German domesticity. It suggests truly what wild adventures the traveller can find by stopping at home.
It was a weird cave, and would have served excellently for my purpose; but when I heard there was another to follow as servants say of the next course for dinner I thought it would be an anti-climax to use this one. Besides, there were a good many people in it.
It was not an expression of philosophic mirth, of sense of the grotesqueness of an anti-climax. It was not an expression of any emotion whatever. It was simply a signal from a mind temporarily dethroned. "What are you laughing at?" she said sharply. His answer was a repetition of the idiotic sound. "What's the matter with you?" demanded she. "Please close your mouth."
One loves to repeat "all is possible;" but that particular possibility has little attraction. It would be indeed an anti-climax if the queer Comedy we have so daintily been patronizing turned out to be a Divine Comedy and ourselves the point of the jest! Not that this is very likely to occur.
"It's pretty bad, isn't it? But there's no use crying over spilt milk. Lester," he added, in another tone, "I want you to be in your office at noon to-morrow or rather, to-day." "All right," I promised; "I'll be there." "Don't fail me. There is one act of the comedy still to be played." "I'll be there," I said again. "But I'm afraid the last act will be an anti-climax. Look here, Godfrey...."
