But Delme thought it more prudent, to defer the discussion of those points, till he had heard from George himself, as to many circumstances connected with Acme's history, and had been able to form some personal opinion regarding the health of the invalid.
"What would you say to the Hanoverian army?" replied Delme. "I would say," rejoined Carl: "for I see through your kind motive in asking, that I esteem myself fortunate, if I have been in any way useful to you; but that I cannot, and ought not, to think, of accepting a favour at your hands." Sir Henry said no more at that time: and they reached the inn in silence. Delme retired for the night.
These admitted to a capacious hall, where, reposing on the wide-spreading antlers of some pristine tenant of the park, gleamed many a piece of armour that in days of yore had not been worn ingloriously. The Delme family was an old Norman one, on whose antiquity a peerage could have conferred no new lustre.
Previous to leaving the deck, he hailed a boat alongside addressed the boatmen in their native language and consigned Sir Henry to their charge. Twilight was deepening into night as Delme left the vessel. The harbour had lost much of its bustle; lights were already gleaming from the town, and as seen in some of the loftiest houses, looked as if suspended in the air above.
Having explored the garden, Delme accompanied the Baron to a small room, where the sculls of the deceased maniacs were ranged on shelves, with a small biographical note attached to each; and heard with attention, the old man's energetic reasoning, as to these fully demonstrating the truth of Spurzheim's theory.
"Nothing more easy than to supply their place, by promoting some of our oldest sergeants," observed Ensign Delme, who, as well as the ill-fated Murphy, had risen from the ranks. "If they behave themselves well, the King will confirm their appointments." "But my poor brother, what of him, Lawson? what have you learnt connected with his disappearance?" asked Charles de Haldimar with deep emotion.
It was a late hour, before Delme ventured to remind the songstress, that they must prosecute their journey early on the following morning. "I will take your hint," said Acme, as she shook his hand, and tripped out of the room; "buona sera! miei Signori." "She is a dear creature!" said Delme, "She is indeed!" replied his brother, "and I am a fortunate man. Henry!
He was anxious also to consult a friend, whom he proposed appointing one of the trustees for his marriage settlement; and Clarendon and Emily had exacted a promise, that he would pay them a visit on his way to Delme Park; which he had determined to take on his route to town, that he might personally inspect some alterations he had lately planned there.
The limited country the ceaseless glare the dust, or rather the pulverised rock the ever-present lizard, wary and quick, peeping out at each crevice the buzzing mosquito, inviting the moody philosopher to smite his own cheek, these things may come to be regarded as real grievances. But Delme, as a visitor, was pleased with what he saw.
Visit the city of the sea! there indulge thy shapeless imaginings with no sound to break thy day dreams save the shrill cry of the gondolier, and the splash of his busy oar. The young Greek, Delme, and George, were soon immersed in the round of sight seeing.
