One responds readily to the sentiment of Austin Dobson's fine poem on Fielding: "Beneath the green Estrella trees, No artist merely, but a man Wrought on our noblest island-plan, Sleeps with the alien Portuguese."
Joan did not enjoy the concert as much as the others. She said the pianoforte playing was very indifferent she wondered what Captain Leclerc, who sat in the front row next to Clara Whigham, thought of it. The 28th was fixed for the concert at Mrs. Dobson's.
Ah! upon my word, the Lord has been too good to me." Thereupon he began to enumerate all his blessings. Sidonie was the best of women, a little love of a wife, who conferred much honor upon him. They had a charming home. They went into society, very select society. The little one sang like a nightingale, thanks to Madame Dobson's expressive method.
Walter MacEwen, born in Chicago of Scottish parents, has painted many pictures and has received medals and decorations for his work. In 1895-96 he painted nine large panels and a number of small ones for the Hall of Heroes in the Library of Congress. Samuel Allerdice engraved a large number of plates of Dobson's edition of Rees's Cyclopædia, 1794-1803.
His mind was wandering, and he plucked it back. Was this death in very deed? He tried to grasp at the present, the earthly present, fading quick away. He lay there on the bed on Sally Dobson's bed in the house-place, not on his accustomed pallet in the lean-to. He knew that much.
'Squire, if you warn't so fast, I'd try to get a word in edgewise for Hornblower, said I. But, before the Squire had time to retort, Hornblower himself took up the weapon. 'Great Jehu e! Squire, he ejaculated, 'you know no more about the law than Dobbin Dobson's donkey ye hain't worth two cents! Hornblower's face blazed with red rage, and the Squire got himself all on his pins.
It will be a stiff pull, but the day is our own. We can take our time, and rest when we are tired. Let us go at once and choose a boat." It was Dobson's choice, however, or very nearly so, for the only boats left were tubs indeed, in which a score of passengers could have been accommodated as easily as eight.
His reference to a "solatium" puzzled me, but it did not seem anything of consequence. What had I but the Hanyards to solace him with? A more important puzzle had been his behaviour at Master Dobson's. To find me on the royal side, as he then supposed, and to hear my reason for it, had clean dazed him.
While honest Risler turned the leaves of an old handbook of mechanics, Sidonie sang to Madame Dobson's accompaniment. Suddenly she stopped in the middle of her aria and burst into a peal of laughter. The clock had just struck ten. Risler looked up quickly. "What are you laughing at?" "Nothing-an idea that came into my head," replied Sidonie, winking of Madame Dobson and pointing at the clock.
What limitations do you notice? What is specially remarkable about his style? What are the principal characteristics of his verse? What subjects appeal to him? Why is his verse so popular? Minor Poets. The Poetical Works of Robert Bridges is inexpensively published by the Oxford University Press. Dobson's verse has been gathered into the single volume Collected Poems .
