Of all the people of the poet's temper I ever knew, Clough was the least inclined to talk of poetry, and but for the sensitive mouth and the dreamy eye, with a reflective way he had when talking, as if an undercurrent of thought were going on while he spoke, one might have taken him for a well-educated man of business, a poet-banker, or publisher.
Colonel Clough was employed at a salary of fifteen thousand dollars, some years before his real work began. He came from the Northern Pacific. Mr. Hill, when asked by a leading official of that road what he thought of the Colonel, replied, "Huh! he's a good man to file contracts." Mr. Hill said of Allan Manvel, then General Manager of his road, "He may make a man some day." Mr.
Now I'm never downhearted, or if I am, I say to myself 'It's all right somewhere! somewhere that you can't see. And I think of a poem my father was fond of 'If hopes are dupes, fears may be liars And somewhere in yon smoke concealed Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers And but for you possess the field! That's by a man called Arthur Clough Miss Blanchflower and it's a grand poem!"
Captain Radford, I feel for you; but even now we may discover where she has been taken to. Villains! knaves!" again exclaimed Master Clough, turning to the servants. "Why did not you follow and find out?"
On going to the hall, I was glad to see my old acquaintance; and I should have known him immediately, though his countenance wore a far more happy expression than formerly, and he had altogether lost the sallow complexion of a priest of Rome. I gladly ushered him into the sitting-room, where he was cordially welcomed by Sir Thomas, and introduced to Madam Clough and the rest of the party.
Clough, who had been elected to an Oriel fellowship, threw it up in 1848, turned freethinker, and became the head of an educational institution in London called University Hall. He did not hold this very long, receiving a post in the Education Office, which he held in various forms till his death in 1861 at Florence.
"Varry well, then I'll hev to be took up; and if I'm sent to York Castle, thou'lt hev lodgings varry close to me. Mak' up thy mind to that, Bill Laycock." "I didn't kill Clough, and thou can't say I did." Bingley did not answer. He sat munching his bread and casting evil glances every now and then at his wretched entertainer. "What does ta want?"
"And you never saw him again?" Jabey shook his head. "Not alive, sir," he answered. "I saw him when they brought him back." "How long had he been out when you heard he was dead?" "About an hour, sir just after six it was when they told Mrs. Clough and me. He went out at ten minutes past five." Collingwood got up. He gave the lad's shoulder a friendly squeeze. "All right!" he said.
Sir Thomas Gresham also urging him to do so, he consented to take the charge of a Reformed Church at Antwerp till another should be found to supply his place. This was a great advantage to Aveline especially, as she thus had a relative to whom she could go for advice and instruction, which certainly her friend Madam Clough was unable to afford.
Clough told her, 'she would soon learn to love the new woman, and she said plain out, 'Nay not I! I can't understand her, and I doan't know what she means. Then Mrs. Brierly spoke of the 'old woman' as a downtrodden 'creature' not to be put in comparison with the splendid 'new woman' who was beginning to arrive. I'm sure, John, it puzzles me."
