HOMEWARE: Agree with the lady promptly, my friend. ARDEN: I would gladly boast of so lengthened an experience, Lady Pluriel. LYRA: I must have a talk with Astraea, my dear uncle. Her letters breed suspicions. She writes feverishly. The last one hints at service on the West Coast of Africa.
I was wonderfully pleased with such a mixt kind of Furniture, as seemed very suitable both to the Lady and the Scholar, and did not know at first whether I should fancy my self in a Grotto, or in a Library. Among several that I examin'd, I very well remember these that follow. Ogleby's Virgil. Dryden's Juvenal. Cassandra. Cleopatra. Astraea. Sir Isaac Newton's Works.
I sleep hardly a couple of hours. Then into the early morning air, out with the birds; I know no other pleasure. LYRA: Hospital work for a variation: civil or military. The former involves the house-surgeon: the latter the grateful lieutenant. ASTRAEA: Not if a woman can resist... I go to it proof-armoured. LYRA: What does the Dame say? ASTRAEA: Sighs over me! Just a little maddening to hear.
From Captain Folger, of the Neutrality, which had just arrived from Paita, we learnt that the Astraea had had her fore-topmast shot away, thirty hands killed, and one hundred and twenty wounded.
"Your most profest Admirers and most humble Servants, "Astraea and Minerva Hill. "PLAISTOW the 27th of July 1749." Richardson's reply to this ingenuous criticism is dated the 4th of August.
LYRA: You enjoy the studies with your Spiral, come! ASTRAEA: Professor Spiral is the one honest gentleman here. He does homage to my principles. I have never been troubled by him: no silly hints or side-looks you know, the dog at the forbidden bone. LYRA: A grand orator. ASTRAEA: He is. You fix on the smallest of his gifts. He is intellectually and morally superior.
ASTRAEA: For the sake of peace and silence I consent, You should be warned that you will cruelly Disturb them. But 'tis best. You should be warned Your pleading will be hopeless. But 'tis best. You have my full consent. I would not run such risks. You will offend, Go near to outrage them; and perturbate As they have not deserved of you.
ASTRAEA: I might reply, Respect me. If I loved, If I could be so faithless as to love, Think you I would not rather noise abroad My shame for penitence than let friends dwell Deluded by an image of one vowed To superhuman, who the common mock Of things too human has at heart become. ARDEN: You would declare your love? ASTRAEA: I said, my shame.
'But, dearest Dame, it is as natural an impulse for women to have that relief as for men; and natural will out, begonia! it will! We ran through the book of Botany for devilish objurgations. I do believe our misconduct caused us to be handed to the good man at the altar as the right corrective. And you were the worst offender. ASTRAEA: Was I? I could be now, though I am so changed a creature.
ARDEN: The ladies are on their way. LYRA: I must get Astraea to myself. HOMEWARE: My library is a virgin fortress, Mr. Arden. Its gates are open to you on other topics than the coupling of inebriates. LADY OLDLACE: Such perfect rhythm! WINIFRED: Such oratory! LADY OLDLACE: A master hand. I was in a trance from the first sentence to the impressive close.
