Her lover seemed to her transformed into another person by those fateful words. He was now the custodian of her life, the master of her destiny. 'Would I mind telling you, my dearest? What a question! You proposed Dieppe for our honeymoon, and we are going to Dieppe. 'Does this train go to Newhaven? 'Not exactly. Nothing in this life is so convenient as that.
"Miss Erma, you forget what my dooty was. My dooty was to stay by the door and make it fast, as custodian of all this mansion. No little coorosity, or private resentment, could 'a borne me out in doing so. As an outraged man I was up for rushing out, but as a trusted official, and responsible head footman, miss for I were not butler till nine months after that my dooty was to put the big bolt in."
Let us now consider the important questions which involve the care, the protection, and the preservation of the books. Every librarian or book owner should be something more than a custodian of the books in his collection. He should also exercise perpetual vigilance with regard to their safety and condition. The books of every library are beset by dangers and by enemies.
"He is very well, thank you," Helena answered and being custodian of the whip brushed a fly off the horse's flank. "I was just coming out to pay you a little visit," remarked Madison, trying to catch her eye. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" said Helena sweetly, still busy with the fly. "Mamie is going to take me for a drive and afterwards we are going to her house for tea."
If we had really seen this kettle and the skeletons there as we did not we could not have suffered more than we did. They took all the life out of the House of Perseus, and the beauty from his pretty little domestic temple to the Penates, and this was all there was left in Herculaneum to see. "Is there nothing else?" we demand of the custodian. "Signori, this is all." "It is mighty little."
I strolled over his dusky habitation it must have taken all his good humour to light it up at the heels of the custodian, who showed me the usual number of castle-properties: a deep, well-like court; a collection of winding staircases and vaulted chambers, the embrasures of whose windows and the recesses of whose doorways reveal a tremendous thickness of wall.
It was when he had been installed as custodian not only of our hand luggage, but to a certain extent of our bank accounts and persons for some days, that he urged upon the governor the advisability of our at once proceeding to Cancale, or Cancale spéciale, as he insisted on calling it. I immediately added my own voice to his pleadings, arguing that Cancale must certainly be on the sea.
An American negress, a dressmaker who was working for me, told me that there was a petrified man, an American, in the Paco Cemetery, and that the body was on exhibition. She had been to see it, and it was wonderful. I had my doubts about the petrifying, but as I had to pass the cemetery on leaving her house, I asked the custodian at the gate if there was such a body there.
Well, it killed the minuet dead; he sat flat down on the low stone coping that bordered the path to which we had wandered back and I sat flat down opposite him. The venerable custodian, passing along a neighboring path, turned his head and stared at our noise. "Lawd, see those chillun goin' on!" he muttered. "Mas' John, don't you get too scandalous, tellin' strangers 'bout the old famblies."
Of its famous internal marble staircase, for example, no trace remains. Then, after probably more careless tenants, came Baron Franchetti with his wealth and zeal to restore such of its glories as he might, and although no haste is being employed, the good work continues. The palace is not open, but an obliging custodian is pleased to grow enthusiastic to visitors.
