"I am not sure of anything with regard to Desire." "Then you ought to be. Don't shilly-shally, Benis. It is a habit of yours. All of the Spences shilly-shally. Make certain that Desire is aware of your er affection. Mark my words I have a feeling. She is fretting over Mary." "I happen to know that she is not." Small red flags began to fly from Miss Campion's prominent cheek-bones.
Daniel, whose Defense of Rhyme was a triumphant reply to Campion's theory, gave courteous praise to his opponent's practice. Dryden, most flexible-minded of critics, argues now for, and now against the use of rhymed heroic couplets in the drama, fitting his theories to the changing currents of contemporary taste as well as to the varying, self-determined technique of his own plays.
Probably the most remarkable volume published from the Jesuit printing-press was Campion's /Ten Reasons/, addressed particularly to the Oxford students amongst whom it created a great sensation. At last after many hair-breadth escapes Campion was captured at Lyford and committed to the Tower.
And the old lady has an air. How she gets it, I don't know, for the dear Queen is her idea of style. Perhaps there is something in the 'aura' theory. If so, Miss Campion's aura is the very glass of fashion. "And the bride! But I hear you are coming down, so you will see the bride for yourself. There was a silly rumor about her being part Indian.
And, above all, he heard Campion's stirring defence, spoken in that same resonant sweet voice, though it broke now and then through weakness, in spite of the unconquerable purpose and cheerfulness that showed in his great brown eyes, and round his delicate humorous mouth.
Bolton, lent me three shillin's, and I don't like to ask her for any more: and I asked that d d old Costigan, the confounded old penniless Irish miscreant, and he hadn't got a shillin', the beggar; and Campion's out of town, or else he'd do a little bill for me, I know he would." "I thought you swore on your honor to your wife that you wouldn't put your name to paper," said Mr.
And again, when Sergeant Anderson interpreted a phrase of Campion's referring to the great day to which he looked forward, as meaning the day of a foreign papal invasion, the prisoner cried in a loud voice: "O Judas, Judas! No other day was in my mind, I protest, than that wherein it should please God to make a restitution of faith and religion.
Johnson was a good deal in Sydney's confidence, being a man of much discretion, and with considerable knowledge of the law. He felt that his advice was being asked, or at any rate his opinion, and he met Mr. Campion's searching gaze with one equally cool and serious. "I have no doubt you know as much about it as I could tell you. You seem to hear everything from one source or another.
He had faced all this in his mind again and again, but it was a different thing to have the horror within arm's length; old phrases he had heard of the torture rang in his mind a boast of Norton's, the rackmaster, who had racked Brian, and which had been repeated from mouth to mouth that he had "made Brian a foot longer than God made him"; words of James Maxwell's that he had let drop at Douai; the remembrance of his limp; and of Campion's powerlessness to raise his hand when called upon to swear all these things crowded on him now; and there seemed to rest on him a crushing swarm of fearful images and words.
It was pathetic, Anthony thought sometimes, that this old prelate should be living so far from the movements of the time, owing to no fault of his own. During these months the great tragedy of Campion's passion was proceeding a couple of miles away; but the Archbishop thought less of it than of the death of an old tree.
