But then again, there came a thrill of exultation; the captive lion within him smelt the air of the jungle, and rattled his chains and roared. Throughout breakfast he was absent-minded and ill at ease; he bid Corydon a farewell which puzzled her by its tenderness, and then started to walk to Bellevue with the letter. Half way in, he stopped.
He turned to Corydon. "These pains that you feel," he said, "are from the compressing of the womb. Don't let them frighten you everything is just as it should be. You will find that you can help at each pang by holding your breath; just as soon as you cry out, it releases the diaphragm, and the pressure stops, and the pain passes. You must bear each one just as long as you can.
The cardinal, then aged and infirm, could not conceal his joy at the prospect of so hopeful a successor; and placing the pen in his hand, said, "I give it you as the dying shepherd, Damcetas, bequeathed his pipe to the little Corydon."
If I can write one book, or even one poem, that will be an inspiration to men in the future why, then I have done far more than I could do by a lifetime given to helping people around me." "I never understood before," said Corydon. "That is the idea the minstrel tries to voice to the princess.
And then she asked for his picture, explaining that she could give so much more space to the "story" if she had one. And then she begged for a picture of Corydon, and was deeply hurt that she could not have it. She prolonged the interview for an hour or so, and came back again and again in the effort to get this picture of Corydon.
Or had he perhaps experienced a reaction, and was now trying to deny his feelings? For several hours Thyrsis pondered the problem; and then he went and sat by her, as she was reading on the piazza. "You haven't heard anything more from Mr. Harding, have you?" he asked. "Nothing," said Corydon. "What do you suppose he intends to do?" "I I don't know," she said.
"I I don't know just how to begin," said Corydon. "I hope you are not going to be angry." "I can't imagine myself being angry just now," he replied; and then, struck by a sense of familiarity in this introduction, he asked, with a smile, "You haven't been seeing Harry Stuart, have you?" Corydon frowned at the words. "Don't speak of that!" she said, quickly. "I am not joking."
Everything drives me back into myself. There is nothing I can do I can only endure and suffer and wait. So all the influences in my life are negative 'I was sick with the Nay of life With my lonely soul's refrain!" "What is that you are quoting?" asked Mrs. Channing. "It's from a poem I wrote," said Corydon. "Oh, you write poetry?" "I couldn't say that," was the reply.
Thyrsis could see at once those fine qualities of idealism and fervor which had attracted Corydon; and to his surprise he found that, in addition to her religious virtues, the Lord had generously added a sense of humor. So Delia Gordon was really a person with whom one could have a good time. The Lord had not been quite so generous with the Rev. Mr. Harding, apparently. Mr.
"But how could you know what I am interested in?" "I see how you live apart from everybody. And you spend all your time in books!" Thyrsis suddenly recollected something which had amused him very much. Corydon had been reading "Middlemarch," and had told him that Dr. Casaubon reminded her of him. "And so I'm still just a bookworm to you!" he laughed.
