They breathed the morning air, they gave out long-drawn sighs of relief, looking on the trees of the park. A man came along the pavement, working slow legs hurriedly. Simeon ran down to him. 'Humour, as much as you can, Colney said to Mr. Barmby. 'Let him imagine. 'Miss Radnor? 'Not to speak of her. 'The daughter he so loves? Mr. Barmby's tender inquisitiveness was unanswered.
We all can do that, I hope, for a scratch! Mr. Barmby's Profession dissented. Mr. Catkin appeared; ten minutes after his Peridon. He had met Victor near the Exchange, and had left him humming the non fu sogno of ERNANI. 'Ah, when Victor takes to Verdi, it's a flat City, and wants a burst of drum and brass, Colney said; and he hummed a few bars of the march in Attila, and shrugged.
The first gentleman who did me the honour to inform me of his passion, was a hunchback. Nesta cried 'Oh! in a veritable pang of sympathy, and clapped hands to her ears, to shut out Mr. Barmby's boom of the terrific word attacking Louise from that deformed one. Her disillusionment became of the sort which hears derision.
The relationship is not dissolved so cheaply, though our Society affects to think it is. Barmby's off to the East End of this London, Victor informs me: good fellow! And there he'll be groaning over our vicious nature. Nature is not more responsible for vice than she is for inhumanity. Both bad, but the latter's the worse of the two.
At another time Nancy would have remarked something very unusual in his way of speaking, especially in the utterance of her name. But for the letter in her hand she must have noticed with uneasiness a certain severity of countenance, which had taken the place of Barmby's wonted smile.
To the hearers, Jessica not excepted, this seemed to argue the spirit of broad culture in Samuel himself. Miss. Morgan pursued nervously: 'Examinations are nothing. I believe very stupid people often do well in them, and clever people often fail. Her voice sank on the last word, and she tried to read Barmby's face without meeting his look.
Posterley's infatuation; and one besides who belonged to Nesta's musical choir in London: seemed a safe companion for the child. The grand organ of Mr. Barmby's voice, too, assured them of a devout seriousness in him, that arrested any scrupulous little questions.
Nor did the assembly answer to her expectation. It seemed to consist of young shopmen, with a few females of their kind interspersed. She chose a place in the middle of the room, where the lecturer could hardly fail to observe her presence. With Barmby's entrance disillusion gave way before the ardours of flesh and spirit. The whole hour through she never took her eyes from him.
She left the ground where maternal meditations are serious, at an image of Mr. Barmby knocking at Nesta's heart as a lover. Was it worth inquiry? A feminine look was trailed across the eyes of mademoiselle, with mention of Mr. Barmby's name. Mademoiselle rippled her shoulders. 'We are at present much enamoured of Bethesda.
He stood looking most unhappy. 'She was to appear, sir, in a few perhaps a week, a month. A nod dismissed him. So Victor said of his darlings' voices. Nesta's and her mother's were a perfect combination; Mr. Barmby's trompe in union, sufficiently confirmed the popular impression, that they were artistes.
