"It is very well for Eames to go abroad, though, upon my word, I don't know whether I should not have given him different advice if I had known how much I was to be tormented by his absence. The thing couldn't have happened at a more unfortunate time; the Ministry going out, and everything. But, as I was saying, it is all very well for him to do what he can.
In the space of a single day every copy vanished from the island every copy save one, which had found its way into Mr. Eames' collection. He meant to keep that copy. He would have died sooner than yield it up. When the clerical deputation arrived at his villa with soft words and promises of more solid lucre, he professed the uttermost amazement at their quest. Mr.
He knew that he was doing right; perhaps had some idea that he was doing nobly; but this very appreciation of his own good qualities made the task before him the more difficult. Major Grantly had The Times, and John Eames had The Daily News, and they exchanged papers. One had the last Saturday, and the other the last Spectator, and they exchanged those also.
I've got a note of it in my pocket. Here you are. PSYCHOLOGY OF MIND, 1876, pages 472-4 ET SEQ.; 372, 384, 386-7 ET PASSIM. What do you say?" "Nothing. I am not interested in psychology. You know it perfectly well. "Why not? Wouldn't you get more fun out of life if you were?" "I have Perrelli." "Always your old Perrelli! That reminds me, Eames.
In the Charles Eames days Sumner was exceedingly disagreeable to me. Many people, indeed, thought him so. Many years later, in the Greeley campaign of 1872, Schurz brought us together they had become as very brothers in the Senate and I found him the reverse of my boyish ill conceptions. He was a great old man.
And it must be acknowledged that Johnny Eames had, in certain unguarded moments, confided to Cradell the secret of a second weaker passion for Amelia. "She is a fine girl, a deuced fine girl!" Johnny Eames had said, using a style of language which he had learned since he left Guestwick and Allington.
He's a snob," said Eames; "and I don't believe that I am." He had taken a glass or two of the earl's "severe Falernian," and was disposed to a more generous confidence, and perhaps also to stronger language, than might otherwise have been the case. "No; I don't think he is a snob," said Crofts. "Had he been so, Mrs Dale would have perceived it."
On the next day, Christmas Day, as the reader will remember, Grace Crawley was taken up to dine at the big house with the old squire. Mrs Dale's eldest daughter, with her husband, Dr Crofts, was to be there; and also Lily's old friend, who was also especially the old friend of Johnny Eames, Lady Julia De Guest. Grace had endeavoured to be excused from the party, pleading many pleas.
"What does your Perrelli say on the subject?" Mr. Eames glanced at him distrustfully. "You are trying to chaff me," he said. "Serves me right for talking so much this morning. I am afraid I bored you dreadfully." The bishop wanted to know. "Then I may tell you that Monsignor Perrelli does not so much as mention the South wind.
"That is the friend, I suppose, of whom I have heard from Maria." It is to be feared that Conway Dalrymple had not been so guarded as he should have been in some of his conversations with Mrs Dobbs Broughton, and that a word or two had escaped from him as to the love of John Eames for Lily Dale.
