Would to God we were in the same condition as heretofore, to challenge and maintain this our dominion! Thence with W. Pen homeward, and quite through to Mile End, for a little ayre; the days being now pretty long, but the ways mighty dirty, and here we drank at the Rose, the old house, and so back again, talking of the Parliament and our trouble with them and what passed yesterday.
This marvellous remedy was made by putting live toads into an earthen pot so as to half fill it, and baking and burning them "in the open ayre, not in an house," concerning which latter possibility I suspect Madam Winthrop would have had something to say, until they could be reduced by pounding, first into a brown, and then into a black, powder.
"I didn't come on that account at all," he said, "I came to look after some business." "Get out!" said the Earl pleasantly; "do you think I don't know you?" Ayre allowed himself to yield in silence. His motives were a little mixed; and, anyhow, it was not at the moment desirable to explain them. His vindication would wait. In the afternoon he paid his call on Mrs. Welman.
Now the parts were reversed, and the younger man found great solace in jocosely rallying his senior on his unwonted zeal and activity. Ayre accepted his friend's jocosity and his own excitement with equal placidity. Reproaches had never stirred him to exertion; ridicule would not stop him now.
Burrows, the pretty, an hour or two, then to the Swan a while, and so home by water, and with my wife by and by by water as low as Greenwich, for ayre only, and so back again home to supper and to bed with great pleasure. 28th.
"The finest thing I ever did on my life; one of the finest things any one ever did," he murmured; "and I can't show it!" "No," said Eugene. Ayre rose and took his stand before the picture. Then he got a chair, choosing the lowest he could find, and sat down, sitting well back. This attitude brought him exactly under the gaze of the eyes.
I've often wondered why you don't try the other." "I've been very near trying it before now." "It's a splendid field. Glorious! You might do anything." Stafford was silent, and Ayre sat regarding him closely. "Use my office for personal ambition?" he asked at last. "Pray don't talk cant. Do some good work, and raise yourself high enough to do more." "I doubt that motive." "Never mind the motive.
The conversation here became so low in tone that Ayre, to his vast disgust, was unable to overhear it. The next words that reached his ear came again from Haddington. "Well, I will wait I will wait three months. If nothing happens then, you will break it off?" A gentle "Yes" floated up to the eavesdropper. "Though why you want him to break it off rather than yourself, I don't know."
But, to retumne a little more to the particulars of this Countrey, which I intermingle thus with my proiects and reasons, not being so sufficiently yet acquainted in those parts, to write fully the estate of the Sea, the Ayre, the Land, the Fruites, the Rocks, the People, the Gouernment, Religions, Territories, and Limitations, Friends, and Foes: but, as I gathered from the niggardly relations in a broken language to my vnderstanding, during the time I ranged those Countries &c.
"What on earth are you driving at?" "If there's one thing I hate more than another, it's a narrative; but I see I'm in for it. Sit still and hold your tongue till I'm through with it." Eugene obeyed implicitly; and Ayre, not without honest pride, recounted his Baden triumph. "And unless she's bolder than I think, you'll find a letter to that effect." Eugene sat very quiet.
