He took up his hat and cane and kissed my hand. I have never seen him since. Cressida made a settlement upon him, but even Poppas, tortured by envy and curiosity, never discovered how much it was. It was very little, she told me. "Pour des gâteaux," she added with a smile that was not unforgiving. She could not bear to think of his being in want when so little could make him comfortable.
"Lest we forget!" he said with a shrug. "Does Madame Cressida know we are to have the pleasure of your company for this voyage?"
Well, we ask, if your Unknown, or Bacon, or Ben, instructed by Bacon, or by the Unknown, edited the Folio, how could any one of the three insert Titus, and Henry VI, and be "in no little doubt about" Troilus and Cressida? Greenwood does know Henry VI and Titus are "wrong ones." Mr.
Horace drew his shoulders together and buttoned his top-coat. "Oh, I've not your energy, Mother dear. We make no secret of that. I am as I am. I didn't ask to be born into this charming world." To this gallant speech Cressida made no answer. She stood with her hand on the rail and her head bent forward, as if she had lost herself in thought.
It is too long to quote here in full, but I will give a few stanzas: Sc. good-bye. Cf. Shirley's Constant Maid, i. 1, "Buoy, Close, buoy, honest Close: we are blanks, blanks." Can the reference be to Troilus and Cressida? Ben Jonson's Alchemist. Cf. Shirley's Honoria and Mammon, i. 2: "Go to your Lindabrides I'the new brothel; she's a handsome leveret."
Poppas either nursed his neuralgia or went through the exercise of making himself interesting to some one of the young women on board. One evening, the third night out, when the sea was comparatively quiet and the sky was full of broken black clouds, silvered by the moon at their ragged edges, Cressida talked to me about Jerome Brown. I had known each of her former husbands.
In the prologue to his doctored version of Troilus and Cressida, Dryden made the ghost of Shakspere speak of himself as Untaught, unpracticed in a barbarous age.
He supposed that he ought to warn Edith to be about when Mark called; if the bat was not forthcoming he could easily prevent a meeting. The bat however turned out to be much better than he expected, and Hacking was on the point of presenting Cressida to Troilus when Troilus said: "That's your garden at the back, isn't it?" Hacking admitted that it was. "It looks rather decent."
She was married in June and sailed immediately with her husband. Poppas was to join them in Vienna in August, when she would begin to work again. From her letters I gathered that all was going well, even beyond her hopes. When they returned in October, both Cressida and Blasius seemed changed for the better. She was perceptibly freshened and renewed.
The sickly and timid boy was in the house; he was handy; when she was otherwise unoccupied, she used and played with him: Romeo and Cressida; till in that dreary life of a poor boy in a country town, she grew to be the light of his days and the subject of his dreams.
