Now observe, Dunsford, you were speaking sometime ago about the joking of intimates being frequently unkind. This is just an instance to the contrary. Ellesmere, who is not a bad fellow at least not so bad as he seems knows that he can say anything he pleases about my style of writing without much annoying me.
Near relations have great opportunities of attaching each other; if they fail to use these, I do not think it is well to let them imagine that mere relationship is to be the talisman of affection. Dunsford. I do not see exactly how to answer all that you or Milverton have said; but I am not prepared, as official people say, to agree with you.
I've got nothing to say to them, and I don't want them to say anything to me." She put down the slip of paper on which she had marked the sum they had to pay, and walked back to the table at which she had been sitting. Philip flushed with anger. "That's one in the eye for you, Carey," said Dunsford, when they got outside. "Ill-mannered slut," said Philip. "I shan't go there again."
Why, that one thing alone, the villainous atmosphere at most public places, is enough to daunt any sensible man from going to them. Dunsford. There should be such a choice of plays not merely Chamberlain-clipt as any man or woman could go to. Milverton. There should be certainly, but how is such a choice to be made, if the people who could regulate it, for the most part, stay away?
Then there is your gloomy man, often a man who punishes himself most perhaps a large-hearted, humorous, but sad man, at the same time liveable with. He does not care for trifles. Now education has often had a great deal to do with the making of these choice tempers. They are somewhat artificial productions. And they are the worst. Dunsford.
He and a certain Alice were brought up together. Like many of the most successful students, Dunsford hated study, and was devoted to music and poetry, to nature and art. But he knew his only chance of winning Alice was to obtain some success in life, and he devoted himself to study.
Then we have some talk about Pleasantness; and Dunsford is persuaded to write and read an essay on that subject, which he read one morning, 'while we were sitting in the balcony of an hotel, in one of the small towns that overlook the Moselle, which was flowing beneath in a reddish turbid stream. In the conversation which follows Milverton says,
One part of the resemblance certainly is that these same rocks, which were bulwarks, become, in their turn, dangers. Milverton. Yes, there is always loss in that way. It is seldom given to man to do unmixed good. But it was not this aspect of the simile that I was thinking of: it was the scarred appearance. Dunsford. Scars not always of defeat or flight; scars in the front. Milverton.
Dunsford. I cannot talk to you about this subject. Milverton. But do you not own that our cathedrals are sadly misused? Dunsford. Now, very likely, if more were made of them, you, and men who think like you, would begin to cry out "superstition"; and would instantly turn round and inveigh against the uses which you now, perhaps, imagine for cathedrals. Milverton.
The crowding together of theatres in one part of the town, the lateness of the hours Ellesmere. The folly of the audience, who always applaud in the wrong place Dunsford. There is no occasion to say any more; I am quite convinced. Milverton. But these annoyances need not be.
