Unconsciously she compared Daffingdon with Ignace Prochnow and realized how easy it would be for her to wait quite a while without discomfort, regret or protest. Prochnow and Preciosa were married in the midst of the crash. Little O'Grady and Medora Joyce took the other two seats in their carriage and saw them through the ceremony.
But as Daffingdon gradually pulled himself together, a comforting little sense of flattery came to soothe his bruises and to clear his eyes. Yes, she believed in him.
Virgilia, after dismissing Daffingdon with the detailed memoranda of her great decorative scheme, went through the vain forms of going upstairs and getting to bed. But sleep was out of the question. Her brain still kept at work, elaborating the ideas already proposed and adding still others to the plan. Why hadn't she laid more stress on the Medici?
Eudoxia paused, struck suddenly by the earnest scrutiny of both Daffingdon and Virgilia. She saw that she had tied her boa into a double knot, and surmised that she had been doing the same with her features too.
What a series it would make! so picturesque, so varied, so magnificent!" Daffingdon looked up at his Egeria; her visible inspiration almost cowed him. "Isn't that a pretty large theme?" he questioned. "Wouldn't it require a good deal of thought and study ?" "Thought? Study? Surely it would. But I think and study all the time! Let me see; where shall we begin?
By contrast, Daffingdon Dill looked more of a gentleman than ever. "He's like his brother just!" said Virgilia to herself. "Imagine!" she added elliptically. While Morrell collected the men and impressed his very urgent and particular demands upon the intimidated steward, Virgilia, leaving Preciosa, bestowed a few moments' exertions upon Elizabeth Gibbons.
"And oh, to think that I have had my part in bringing your great good fortune about!" At the very moment when Daffingdon and Virgilia were taking notes on the aborigines and planning for Japan, Preciosa McNulty was strolling with Ignace Prochnow through the galleries of the Art Academy. The portrait was now finished.
He had accompanied his granddaughter to Daffingdon Dill's studio, but he was in no haste to formulate his impressions. That floor! poor Jeremiah had stood upon it as helpless as a cripple on a wide glare of ice, at a cruelly embarrassing disadvantage and wholly at the mercy of that original and anomalous person in the brown Van Dyck beard. Vainly had he cast about for something to lay hold of.
'The March of Progress that might be better as a broad working basis, although " She saw the "lady" seated on the cogged wheel beneath the factory chimney and stopped. "'The Prairie-Schooner' 'The Bridging of the Mississippi' 'The Last of the Buffaloes' The Corner-Stones of New Capitols' " pursued Daffingdon brokenly. "Would you care very much for that sort of thing?" asked Virgilia. "No."
Work in Sir Thomas Gresham and the Royal Exchange ruffs, rapiers, farthingales, Drake, Shakespeare and the whole 'spacious' time of Elizabeth. Make them a part of the poetry of it make them a part of the picturesqueness of it. That will bring Mr. Gibbons around easily enough, and ought to budge two or three of the others." Daffingdon took his great scheme to the bank, but it failed to charm.
