Ayre had never been able, or at least never given himself the trouble, to understand how real a thing Stafford's vow had been to him, and what a struggle was necessary before he could disregard it. He would have been still more at a loss to appreciate the force which the same vow exercised over Claudia. Stafford himself had strengthened this feeling in her.
It can't matter to you, you know," he added, with a sharp glance. "No, it can't matter to me," said Eugene steadily. "Put it away, Morewood, and come out of doors. Perhaps you'd better not leave it about, at present at any rate." Morewood took down the picture and placed it in a large portfolio, which he locked, and accompanied Ayre.
They did not see the others and appeared to be deep in conversation. Stafford was talking vehemently and Claudia listening with a look of amused mutiny on her face. "He's sworn off, hasn't he?" asked Ayre. "Yes." "She doesn't care for him?" "I don't think so; but a man can't tell." "Nonsense!" said Ayre. "What's Eugene up to?" "Oh, you know he's booked." "Kate Bernard?" "Yes."
"Unmatcht for beauty, chaster than the ayre," wrote one poet. When they opened her head it was discovered she had little brain; and gossip attributed the fact to her having drunk viper-wine by her husband's advice for her complexion. This sounds absurd only to those who have not perused the Receipts in Physick and Chirurgery. Little brain or not, her husband praised her wits.
Who'll believe he did it unconsciously? And if he breaks her heart, how is it better because he did it unconsciously?" "You are unusually benevolent," said Morewood dryly. "Hang it! a man has some feelings." "You're a humbug, Ayre!" "Never mind what I am. You won't tell him?" "No." "It would be a very interesting problem." "It would." "That vow of his is all nonsense, ain't it?" "Utter nonsense!"
At which Islands we found the ayre very vnwholsome, and our men grew for the most part ill disposed: so that hauing refreshed our selues with sweet water, and fresh victuall, we departed the twelfth day of our arriuall there. These Islands, with the rest adioyning, are so well knowen to your selfe, and to many others, as I will not trouble you with the remembrance of them.
Creed and went out to take some ayre, as far as Chelsey and further, I lighting there and letting them go on with the coach while I went to the church expecting to see the young ladies of the school, Ashwell desiring me, but I could not get in far enough, and so came out and at the coach's coming back went in again and so back to Westminster, and led my wife and her to Captain Ferrers, and I to my Lord Sandwich, and with him talking a good while; I find the Court would have this Indulgence go on, but the Parliament are against it.
By and by the office sat, and they being up I continued at the office to finish my matters against the meeting before the Duke this afternoon, so home about three to clap a bit of meate in my mouth, and so away with Sir W. Batten to White Hall, and there to the Duke, but he being to go abroad to take the ayre, he dismissed us presently without doing any thing till to-morrow morning.
Gresham College he mightily laughed at, for spending time only in weighing of ayre, and doing nothing else since they sat. Thence to Westminster Hall, and there met with diverse people, it being terme time. Among others I spoke with Mrs. Lane, of whom I doubted to hear something of the effects of our last meeting about a fortnight or three weeks ago, but to my content did not. Here I met with Mr.
And then the Indian women continued all the rest of the day in teares as sad and woful as was possible: and in such rage they cut the armes of the yong girles, which they lanced so cruelly with sharpe shels of Muskles that the blood followed which they flang into the ayre, crying out three times, He Toya.
