"Yes, I have," replied Clytie, with much pomp: "the religion of humanity." "You run and get your things on," said Medora. "You'll find as much humanity at the First Church as you will anywhere else." The party set out in two vehicles. Old Mr. Giles drove one and the "hired man" the other.
Thy nose, thou chance to see; Narcissus' fate would then be thine, And self-detested thou would'st pine, As self-enamored he." Clytie was a water-nymph and in love with Apollo, who made her no return. So she pined away, sitting all day long upon the cold ground, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders.
Morpher to imagine that "Clytie" was a consolation and model for Mliss. Following this fallacy, Mrs. Morpher threw Clytie at the head of Mliss when she was "bad," and set her up before the child for adoration in her penitential moments.
A few rolls of shiny blue cambric against a white wall did not, she assured him, make a rocking-horse; and, what was more, they never would. Now the vision came back with a significance that set him all a-thrill. Next time Clytie would pay attention to him. He laughed to think of her confusion now.
Hood, in his "Flowers," thus alludes to Clytie: "I will not have the mad Clytie, Whose head is turned by the sun; The tulip is a courtly quean, Whom therefore I will shun; The cowslip is a country wench, The violet is a nun; But I will woo the dainty rose, The queen of every one." The sunflower is a favorite emblem of constancy.
"Yes," I cried, startled at her candor, "to win your love." Hope slowly rekindled within my breast, and then with half-closed eyes, and wooingly, she said: "No drooping Clytie could be more constant than I to him who strikes the chord that is responsive in my soul." Her emotion must have surprised her, but immediately she regained her placidity and reverted no more to the subject.
The youngest girl, Clytemnestra called Clytie for short was eleven; her sister, Gwendolen called Gwen for short was thirteen; nice girls, and comely. The names betray the latent romance-tinge in the parental blood, the parents' names indicate that the tinge was an inheritance.
"It's just the way I knew she'd act. Now I suppose you'll have to give it to her. Mary, be still a moment her head is so hot!" "There, there!" said Langshaw soothingly. "She shall have her money this minute." "Of course she doesn't deserve it," said Clytie, but with a tone of relief in her voice that seemed oddly greater than the occasion warranted.
When all was ready he went in to break the news to Clytie. She, busy with her baking, heard him declare: "Now I'm going to leave this place!" with the look of one who will not be coaxed nor in any manner dissuaded. He thought she took it rather coolly, though Allan ran, as promptly as he could have wished, to tell his grandfather.
"Yes I knew it, I tell you that's what makes it so funny and foolish why I came, you know " She had now gained a little in coherence, and with it came a final doubt. She steadied herself in the doorway to ask "When did Bernal come?" And Clytie, somewhat relieved, became voluble.
