It would be rash indeed to attempt to improve upon Mr. Gosse's example; after his luminous and suggestive chapters on Browne's life at Norwich, on the Vulgar Errors, and on the self-revelations in the Religio Medici, there seems to be no room for further comment. One can only admire in silence, and hand on the volume to one's neighbour.
But he would never lose sight of her: he would watch over her if he gave up everything else in life he would watch over her, and she should know that she had one slave in the world, Will had to use Sir Thomas Browne's phrase a "passionate prodigality" of statement both to himself and others. The simple truth was that nothing then invited him so strongly as the presence of Dorothea.
Even Gwen, I think, noticed Browne's determined silence, for she said to Maitland: "I am very grateful that your forethought prevented me from causing Mr. Browne even temporary annoyance by making him my messenger." She paused a moment and then continued: "You were speaking of the officers' theories. When they have convinced themselves that no one of us has removed the weapon, what then?"
And this subtle blending of mystery and queerness characterises not only Browne's choice of words, but his choice of feelings and of thoughts. The grotesque side of his art, indeed, was apparently all that was visible to the critics of a few generations back, who admired him simply and solely for what they called his 'quaintness'; while Mr.
Papa read "The Heart of Mid-Lothian" aloud in the evening. I wish I knew whether the lines of my hand are like those of Sir Thomas Browne's. My husband has made an anagram of my name: "A hope while in a storm, aha!" General Pierce arrived at noon. I went to the Town Hall to hear the Quintette Club play the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. Mrs. Alcott came with us. Bright moonlight at midnight.
The fact that many men in England were thinking along the same lines as the Separatists; that Browne had recanted just as Barrowe and Greenwood were thrust into prison; and that they both disapproved in some measure of Browne's teachings, might account for a denial of discipleship. Browne's influence might even have been unrecognized by the men themselves.
Paddling with the wind, Sanford Browne's cedar canoe made good speed, and as the sun was setting and the wind falling it glided past the Yankee sloop into shoal water farther up, where its inmates disembarked, and beached their craft. Sanford Browne walked rapidly up the bank, followed by his son, the servants, and the old convict.
As soon as they sallied out below they saw that Lionel and the men with him had captured a prisoner; and just as they joined the party the guard came round from the other side of the warehouse, bringing with them the cross-bow, its bolt, and the pistol. The prisoner, whose shoulder was broken by Roger Browne's shot, was at once taken to Captain Vere's quarters.
I must leave it to those eminent men to speak to you with all their authority about Sir Thomas Browne's ten talents: his unique natural endowments, his universal scholarship, his philosophical depth, 'his melancholy yet affable irony, his professional and scientific attainments, and his absolutely classical English style.
The necessary steps to be taken, in the event of Mr. Browne's bringing back good tidings, had engaged my attention during his absence, and with his assistance, that on which I had determined was immediately put into execution.
