That will give you an idea when it was." At Ightham Mote We took Ightham on one of our Sunday walks about a fortnight ago, and Jones and I wanted to go inside over the house. My cousin said, "You'd much better not, it will only unsettle your history." We felt, however, that we had so little history to unsettle that we left him outside and went in. Dr. Mandell Creighton and Mr. W. S. Rockstro
"Well, Creighton is here on the track of a mysterious new writer who is threatening to produce a second Gone with the Wind. And I well, I like the climate." "We'll see," muttered Charity. In spite of the fact that they received but lukewarm encouragement from Charity, both Holmes and Creighton lingered on in New Orleans. Mr.
Harry no doubt was enabled to quiet any scruples he may have felt with regard to Ellsworth; and probably Elinor was assured, that she had entirely mistaken Hazlehurst's feelings during the past summer; that Mrs. Creighton was his friend's sister, and a charming woman, but not the woman he loved, not the woman he could ever love, after having known his Elinor.
Creighton insists chiefly on the importance of change, which though I did not notice his saying so he would doubtless see as a mode of cross-fertilisation, fraught in all respects with the same advantages as this, and requiring the same precautions against abuse; he would not, however, I am sure, deny that there could be no fertility of good results if too wide a cross were attempted, so that I may claim the weight of his authority as supporting both the theory of an unconscious memory in general, and the particular application of it to medicine which I had ventured to suggest.
Creighton blushed; and Harry coloured, too. "The very idea of such an ally would frighten Mr. Henley out of his wits," said the lady, recovering herself; "he is an incorrigible old bachelor; that, you must allow, is a great fault of his, Mr. Hazlehurst." "If he be incorrigible," said Harry. "But that is not clear," said Mr. Stryker to the lady; "he is a great admirer of yours."
Marvelous types, where did you get them?" he continued, looking from the canvas to Ricky and Val. "Oh, I am sorry. Miss Ralestone, may I present Mr. Creighton, and Mr. Holmes, both of New York. And this," she smiled at Val, "is Mr. Valerius Ralestone, the brother of the owner of this plantation. The family, I believe, has lived here for about two hundred and fifty years."
Fifty years ago, English commentatorship was so poor that the pupil had to use his wits in reading the classics; now if one goes into an undergraduate's room, one finds him reading the text with the help of a translation, two editions with notes, and a lecture note-book. No faculty is being used except the memory, which Bishop Creighton calls "the most worthless of our mental powers."
Again the laugh and again the merry twinkle came to her eyes. "It's just the way we're used to. If you had never been on a farm, perhaps you'd think it lots of fun to stay on one for awhile. I'm sure I thoroughly enjoy every minute I spend on the Creighton farm. The days are far too short for me." "But perhaps you don't have no work to do. Gettin' up early is what makes it hard."
"Well, we are very much obliged to you for getting tired of Rio," said Mrs. Creighton; "and thinking that the gay world of Philadelphia was quite as agreeable as the Imperial Court." "I take it for granted, however, that it was not exactly the gay world that you regretted," said Ellsworth. "Not exactly, no; general society is not sufficiently perfect in its way among us, for a man to pine after."
Donkin stepped back opening wide eyes. "Go, you blackguard, or I will make you," cried the master, driving him slowly backwards by a menacing advance. He dodged, and with the dangerous iron tried to guard his head from a threatening fist. Mr. Baker ceased grunting for a moment. "Good! By Jove," murmured appreciatively Mr. Creighton in the tone of a connoisseur.
