The Didon, which was a beautiful and fast-sailing frigate, was purchased for the navy, but, without ever having been sent to sea, was unaccountably broken up in 1811. Humane and brave as British officers have almost always proved themselves, tyrannical captains, who in most instances have been also deficient in courage and seamanlike qualities, have occasionally been found in the service.
Sir Felix, who had thought much of the letter as he came from Welbeck Street to keep his appointment, having been assured by Didon that the gate should be left unlocked, and that she would be there to close it after he had come in, was of course ready with a lie. 'It was the only thing to do, Marie; it was indeed. 'But you said you had accepted some offer.
Captain Baker, in order to prevent the Didon from escaping, had resolved to engage to leeward, but, from the manoeuvres of the French ship, unable to do this, he stood down right at her to windward with all sail set.
But Marie had hardly put her foot on the platform, before a gentleman addressed her, touching his hat, 'You, I think, are Miss Melmotte. Marie was struck dumb, but said nothing. Didon immediately became voluble in French. No; the young lady was not Miss Melmotte; the young lady was Mademoiselle Racine, her niece. She was Madame Racine. Melmotte! What was Melmotte?
What greater proof can be adduced of the vitiated taste of the male part of the audience? She also performed Semiramis, Didon, and Hermione; but in the first two characters she betrayed her deficiency.
'If you take it to the bank you'll get the money, said Marie. 'Or shall I send Didon, and give you the money on board the ship? Felix thought over the matter very anxiously. If he did go on the journey he would much prefer to have the money in his own pocket. He liked the feeling of having money in his pocket. Perhaps if Didon were entrusted with the cheque she also would like the feeling.
"At night, when going to bed, repeat twenty times: Didon dina, dit-on, du dos d'un dodu dindon. "And twenty times: Le plus petit papa, petit pipi, petit popo, petit pupu. Open the mouth square for the d and pout for the p." He gave this piece of work quite seriously to Mlle. de Brabender, who quite seriously wanted me to practise it. Ah, no.
She gave Didon to understand that she cared nothing for marquises. As they drew near to Liverpool Didon explained that they must still be very careful. It would not do for them to declare at once their destination on the platform, so that every one about the station should know that they were going on board the packet for New York. They had time enough.
Sir Felix was her idol, and she abandoned herself to its worship. But she desired that her idol should be of flesh and blood, and not of wood. She was at first half-inclined to be angry; but as she sat with his letter in her hand, she remembered that he did not know Didon as well as she did, and that he might be afraid to trust his raptures to such custody.
For us has failed in hand Appolin, and Tervagant, Woden, and Mercurius, Jupiter, and Saturnus, Venus, and Didon, Frea, and Mamilon, and all our beliefs are now to us odious, but we will believe on thy dear Lord, for all it faileth us now in hand, that we worshipped.
