"The riches of the ship" had "come on shore," but for all we knew, it had been in the next room, taking a nap, all the while. In the crucial scene between Cassio and Iago, we got the impression that one was as drunk as the other, and that Cassio acted the better man of the two, chiefly because of his grandiloquent apostrophe relative to the thieving of brains.
My thoughts would compel utterance; and there, with no audience but the Almighty, I would pour out my soul's complaint in my rude way, with an apostrophe to the moving multitude of ships: "You are loosed from your moorings, and free; I am fast in my chains, and am a slave! You move merrily before the gentle gale, and I sadly before the bloody whip!
This rather obscure apostrophe is written expressly for the benefit of such imaginative litterateurs and conversational liars as it may concern.
Cards got up and in one of the wittiest little speeches you ever heard in your life, proposed Peter's health, alluded to 'Reuben Hallard, then Clare, then the Son and Heir, a kind of back fling at old Dawson's, and then last of all, an apostrophe to 'The Stone House' all glory and honour, &c.: well, it was most neatly done and we all sat back, silent, for Peter's reply.
And he snatched convulsively at the handle of the protruded knife; but as soon as he nearly touched it, this end was immediately withdrawn, and the blade end substituted, which made the comic Macbeth instantly draw back again, and recommence his apostrophe.
A sharp onslaught now took place. Æacus, the medical delegate, who had disdainfully protected Ursus against the theologian, now turned suddenly from auxiliary into assailant. He placed his closed fist on his bundle of papers, which was large and heavy. Ursus received this apostrophe full in the breast, "It is proved that crystal is sublimated ice, and that the diamond is sublimated crystal.
"They are some reflections on I hardly dare call them an apostrophe to the crater of Colima. If you will permit me to read them to you this evening, I shall be charmed. I hope also to take that opportunity of showing you the verses of a gifted woman, not yet known to fame, Mrs. Euphemia M'Corkle, of Peoria, Illinois." Mrs. Markham coughed slightly.
I have often thought to myself how much the great apostrophe must have meant to the lion-hearted, vehement, imaginative girl: Before me shone a glorious world, Fresh as a banner bright, unfurled To music suddenly. In later life she had the poem by heart, and I venture to say that there was not a word of it that she did not understand, both intellectually and emotionally.
Of course his apostrophe to 'violet eyes, overlaced with jet! will sound quite Tennysonian to a certain little shy girl, now hiding at Como, and who 'inspired the strain. But aside from the pleasant association that links you with the verses, they are pardon me, dear as thin and flavourless as well, as the soup dished out at pauper restaurants.
Walk along, Lady Barker: I'm ashamed of you, I am, hanging your head like that at a bit of a hill!" It was rather startling to hear this apostrophe all of a sudden, but as my namesake was a very hard-working little brown mare, I could only laugh and declare myself much flattered.
