'Goodness gracious! then I must write some letters first, he said, with the importance of the budding ambassador, and ran into the house. The others seemed to melt away David and Canon Aylwin strolling off together and soon Lucy found herself alone.
Canon Aylwin and the Dean pressed in to look, and they all fell back into the recess of a great oriel, talking earnestly. The others passed on into a conservatory beyond the library, where was a billard-table, and many nooks for conversation amid the cunning labyrinths of flowers. Lucy sank into a cane chair, close to a towering mass of arum lilies, and looked back into the library.
Ever since Frank's death had made it evident not only that I should succeed to all the property of my uncle Aylwin of Alvanley, but that I might even succeed to something greater, to the earldom which was the glory and pride of the Aylwins, my mother had kept a jealous and watchful eye upon me, being, as I afterwards learned, not unmindful of the early child-loves of Winifred and myself; and the advent to Raxton of Winifred, as a beautiful tall girl, had aroused her fears as well as her wrath.
Aylwin, of the million points of detail which must be understood and mastered before ever the sweetness, the apparent lawlessness and abandonment of Nature can be expressed by Art. But it was now, when I had conquered these, it was now that I was dissatisfied, and no man living was so miserable as I. I dare say you are an artist yourself, Mr.
Aylwin, it renders in Art the inevitable attitude of its own time and country towards the unseen world, and renders it as completely as did the masterpiece of Polygnotus in the Lesche of the Cnidians at Delphi as completely as did the wonderful frescoes of Andrea Orcagna on the walls of the Campo Santo at Pisa.
I said to him: 'This idea o f my father's which has inspired you, and resulted in such great work, what is its nature? 'I am a painter, Mr. Aylwin, and nothing more, he replied. 'I could only express Philip Aylwin's ideas by describing my picture and the predella beneath it. Will you permit me to do so? 'May I ask you, I said, 'as a favour to do so?
The romantic Celtic mysticism of 'Aylwin, with its lack of fashionable Celtic nebulosity, lends itself, if you will, to laughter, though personally I saw nothing funny in it: it seemed to me, before I was in touch with the author, a work of genuine expression from within; and that it truly was so I presently knew.
'No man whose soul is stained by fleshly desire shall render in art all that there is in a truly beautiful woman's face, said Wilderspin. 'I worked hard at imaginative painting; I worked for years and years, Mr. Aylwin, but with scant success. It shames me to say that I was at last discouraged.
There, in honour of the feast, sits a tall woman, covered by a veil. But the painting is so wonderful, Mr. Aylwin, that, though you see a woman's face expressed behind the veil though you see the warm flesh-tints and the light of the eyes through the aerial film you cannot judge of the character of the face you cannot see whether it is that of woman in her noblest, or woman in her basest, type.
Damian's would ask his help in sending away a sick child, or giving a man a fresh start in life, or setting the necessary authorities to work in the case of some moral or sanitary scandal. She thought also of various Dissenting ministers who called on him and corresponded with him; of his reverent affection for Canon Aylwin, for Ancrum.
