'I mean, the endeavour should be to represent them at the moment of speaking. 'Put it into the eyes. He looked at the eyes. She looked at the mouth. 'But it is the mouth, more than the eyes. He looked at the face. 'Where there is character, you have only to study it to be sure of a likeness. 'That is the task, with one who utters jewels, Mr. Dacier.
Take a warning from me. I've had my lesson. Dacier soon after talked of going. The hope of seeing Diana had abandoned him, the desire was almost extinct. Sir Lukin could not let him go.
Nor did she hesitate to draw upon the raw material of the colony now and then for a new hash or soup, taking care, however, to keep in view the maxim that prudence is the mother of safety an adage that was rather roughly handled by the renowned French linguist, Madame Dacier, who, on one occasion nearly poisoned her husband with a Lacedemonian stew, the receipt for which she had found in Xenophon.
They should study the Irish: I think it was Mr. Redworth who compared the governing of the Irish to the management of a horse: the rider should not grow restive when the steed begins to kick: calmer; firm, calm, persuasive. 'Does Mr. Dacier agree? 'Not always. He has the inveterate national belief that Celtic blood is childish, and the consequently illogical disregard of its hold of impressions.
Percy Dacier seemed to her the more likely one, in that light, and she thought so still, after Sir Lukin had introduced him at Copsley for a couple of days of the hunting season. Tony's manner with him suggested it; she had a dash of leadership. They were not intimate in look or tongue.
Warwick could not give her a sitting; and in a still mournfuller tone, imagined he would find her at home, and alone by this time. 'I left no one but Mr. Dacier there, she observed. 'Mrs. Warwick will be disengaged to-morrow, no doubt, he said consolingly. Her head performed the negative. 'They talk politics, and she becomes animated, loses her pose.
Dacier released her quickly, saying: 'If I come tomorrow, shall I have the promise? She answered: 'Be sure I shall not lie. 'Why not let me have it before I go? 'My friend, to tell you the truth, you have utterly distracted me. 'Forgive me if I did hurt your hand. 'The hand? You might strike it off. 'I can't be other than a mortal lover, Tony. There's the fact.
They are admirable debaters. If I were asked to write against them, I should have but to quote them to confound my argument. I tried it once, and wasted a couple of my precious hours. 'They are cogent debaters, Dacier assented. 'They make me wince now and then, without convincing me: I own it to you. The confession is not agreeable, though it's a small matter.
But she hasn't a peer for courage. I could trust her most extraordinary thing; that marriage of hers! not a soul has ever been able to explain it: trust her to the death. Redworth left them, and Sir Lukin ejaculated on the merits of Diana Warwick to Dacier. He laughed scornfully: 'And that's the woman the world attacks for want of virtue! Why, a fellow hasn't a chance with her, not a chance.
She blessed it, and liked the youth the better. During the stay of Mr. Arthur Rhodes at Copsley, Sir Lukin came on a visit to his wife. He mentioned reports in the scandal-papers: one, that Mr. P. D. would shortly lead to the altar the lovely heiress Miss A., Percy Dacier and Constance Asper: another, that a reconciliation was to be expected between the beautiful authoress Mrs. W. and her husband.
