'It would at least be complimentary. 'How do you mean? 'The net was cast for you and the sight of a fish in it! Miss Asper almost laughed. 'Have you heard the choir at St. Catherine's? she asked. Dacier had not. He repented of his worldliness, and drinking persuasive claret, said he would go to hear it next Sunday. 'Do, she murmured.
He forbade them to weep, says Dacier, because he feared the effect would be too softening, and that on the morrow they would go with less courage to the battle. True! But why, I ask, should Priam only fear this result? Why does not Agamemnon also lay the same prohibition on the Greeks?
She must make her counsel so weighty in poignant praises as to repress impulses that would rouse her own; and her betraying impulsiveness was a subject of reflection to Diana after she had given Percy Dacier, metaphorically, the key of her house. Only as true Egeria could she receive him.
The secret was being clearly perceived by Emma, whose pride in assisting to dress the beautiful creature for her marriage with the man of men had a tinge from the hymenaeal brand, exulting over Dacier, and in the compensation coming to her beloved for her first luckless footing on this road. 'How does he go down to the church? said Diana. 'He walks down. Lukin and his Chief drive.
The tempest of penitence closed with a blind look at his watch, which he left dangling. He had to talk to drug his thoughts. 'And mind you, said he, when he had rejoined Dacier and was pushing his arm again, rounding beneath the trees to a view of the house, 'for a man steeped in damnable iniquity! She bears it all for me, because I begged her, for the chance of her living.
A man may still afford to dwell on the charms and merits of his heart's mistress while he has ten minutes to spare. The dropping minutes, however, detract one by one from her individuality and threaten to sink her in her sex entirely. It is the inexorable clock that says she is as other women. Dacier began to chafe. He was unaccustomed to the part he was performing: and if she failed him?
Her choice of a man like Dacier, too, of whom Redworth judged highly, showed nobility. She irradiated the man; but no baseness could be in such an alliance. If allied, they were bound together for good. The tie supposing a villain world not wrong was only not the sacred tie because of impediments. The tie! he deliberated, and said stoutly No.
Of which Dacier, taking notice in his interpretation of the Latin verses which I have translated, says plainly that the beginning of poetry was the same, with a small variety, in both countries, and that the mother of it in all nations was devotion.
Swears she'll spit her venom at her, so that Diana Warwick shan't hold her head up in London Society, what with that cur Wroxeter, Old Dannisburgh, and Dacier. And it does count a list, doesn't it? confound the handsome hag! She's jealous of a dark rival. I've been down to Colonel Hartswood at the Tower, and he thinks Wroxeter deserves horsewhipping, and we may manage it.
The Greeks, about whom we hear so much, the Greeks and after the fashion of Scudéri we will cite at this point the classicist Dacier, in the seventh chapter of his Poetics the Greeks sometimes went so far as to have twelve or sixteen plays acted in a single day.
