Argemone, my child, I hope you spent a pleasant evening? Argemone answered by some tossy commonplace. A pause and then Mrs. Lavington recommenced, 'How very pleasing that poor young Lord Vieuxbois is, after all! 'I thought you disliked him so much. 'His opinions, my child; but we must hope for the best.
Do you not see that there must have been a continual tendency in the minds of a celibate clergy to look with contempt, almost with spite, on pleasures which were forbidden to them? Another pause. 'It must be very delicious, said Argemone, thoughtfully, 'for any one who believes it, to think that marriage can last through eternity. But, then, what becomes of entire love to God?
Those who have been long accustomed to its use, upon leaving it off, are seized with great lowness, languor, and anxiety; which are relieved by having again recourse to opium, and, in some measure, by wine or spirituous liquors. Similar Plants. Papaver hybridum; P. Argemone. PASTINACA Opoponax. OPOPONAX, or CANDY CARROT. Gum Opoponax.
There are extravagances, theatricalities, impossibilities enough. The Gothic princes comport themselves like British seamen ashore in Suez or Bombay; Raphael talks like young Lancelot Smith in Yeast; Hypatia is a Greek Argemone; and Bishop Synesius is merely an African fifth-century Charles Kingsley, what Sydney Smith called a "squarson," or compound of squire and parson.
'And I am thinking, Tregarva, that both for ladies and gentlemen, prevention is better than cure. 'There's a great change come over Miss Argemone, sir. She used not to be so ready to start out at midnight to visit dying folk. A blessed change! Lancelot thought so too, and he thought that he knew the cause of it.
If so, I despair of your making your meaning intelligible to a poor fellow wallowing, like me, in the Hylic Borboros or whatever else you may choose to call the unfortunate fact of being flesh and blood. . . . Still, write. When Argemone rose in the morning, her first thought was of Lancelot. His face haunted her.
Entranced in wonder and pleasure, Argemone let her eyes wander over the drawing. And her feelings for Lancelot amounted almost to worship, as she apprehended the harmonious unity of the manifold conception, the rugged boldness of the groups in front, the soft grandeur of the figure which was the lodestar of all their emotions- -the virginal purity of the whole.
In a moment of excitement, fascinated by the romance of the notion, Argemone had proposed to her mother to allow her to enter this beguinage, and called in the vicar as advocate; which produced a correspondence between him and Mrs.
She cried just as bitterly about Mops's danger as about the keeper's, and then laughed heartily at Argemone's solemnity; till at last, when pushed a little too hard, she broke out into something very like a passion, and told her sister, bitterly enough, that 'she was not accustomed to see men drowned every day, and begged to hear no more about the subject. Whereat Argemone prudently held her tongue, knowing that under all Honoria's tenderness lay a volcano of passionate determination, which was generally kept down by her affections, but was just as likely to be maddened by them.
'If one could but know sometimes what it is for which one is longing! said Argemone, without knowing that she was speaking from her inmost heart: but thus does the soul involuntarily lay bare its most unspoken depths in the presence of its yet unknown mate, and then shudders at its own ABANDON as it first tries on the wedding garment of Paradise.
