In the crowd of curious onlookers she caught sight of Mabel Farrar's and Roy Dennis's sneering faces. "Tania!" she cried sharply. "What in the world are you doing? Stop taking that money at once!" Tania glanced around and discovered Madge. Instead of looking ashamed of herself, the child's face grew radiant.
Rymer's "Edgar" is to fall in snow, at the next acting of "King Lear," in order to heighten, or rather to alleviate, the distress of that unfortunate prince; and to serve by way of decoration to a piece which that great critic has written against. Dennis's new and approved method of making thunder.
The two men fought savagely, and Christine, forgetting herself in her instinctive desire to help Dennis, was rushing to his side, crying, "If there is a man here worthy of the name, let him strike for the right!" but before she and others could reach the combatants the thief had planted his fist on Dennis's temple.
Talking of a penurious gentleman of our acquaintance, Johnson said, 'Sir, he is narrow, not so much from avarice, as from impotence to spend his money. He cannot find in his heart to pour out a bottle of wine; but he would not much care if it should sour. He said, he wished to see John Dennis's Critical Works collected. Davies said they would not sell. Dr. Johnson seemed to think otherwise.
But a purpose was growing in her mind of which she spoke soon after. Throughout the evening she had studied Dennis's face as much as she could without attracting notice, and the thought grew upon her that at last she had found a path to the success she so craved.
There was a flutter of expectation, a wink from Mr. Mellen, and an audible titter from Miss Brown. "Certainly" said Miss Ludolph, who thought to herself, "If he will make a fool of himself, he may"; and she played the brief prelude. Then prompt at the proper moment, true to time and note, Dennis's rich, powerful tenor voice startled and then entranced them all.
"I ought to know your face," he said. "Yes, Mr. Reding," answered the person addressed, "you may recollect me at College." "Ah, I remember perfectly," said Reding; "Jack the kitchen-boy at St. Saviour's." "Yes," said Jack; "I came when young Tom was promoted into Dennis's place." Then he added, with a solemn shake of the head, "I have got promotion now."
His little sisters accompanied him east, and he found a home for them with a sister of his mother, who was a good, kind, Christian lady. Dennis's salary was not large, but sufficient to insure that his sisters would be no burden to his aunt, who was in rather straitened circumstances. He also arranged that the small annuity should be paid for their benefit.
"Good-night, and Gott bless you;" and he almost crushed Dennis's hand. As the young man turned to Mrs. Bruder, he was much struck by her appearance: she was very pale, and a wonderful light shone from her eyes. She took his hand in both of hers, and looked at him for a moment with an expression he could never forget, and then slowly pointed heavenward without a word.
Schwartz; but he only buttoned his coat to the chin and muttered, "New broom," and went his way homeward, leaving Dennis to go his. The following Sabbath was a bright winter day without, but bright summer in Dennis's heart. He inquired his way to a neighboring church, and every word of prayer, praise, and truth fell on a glad, grateful spirit.
