Permon, though without any corroborative evidence, has an air of probability, partly in the consideration of a despair which might lead him to seek any support, even that of a wife as old as his mother, partly from the existence of a letter to the lady which, though enigmatical, displays an interesting mixture of wounded pride and real or pretended jealousy.
There is nothing about the fertility of the land, but, instead, we have that enigmatical expression about its 'eating up its inhabitants. No very satisfactory explanation of this is forthcoming. It evidently means that in some way the land was destructive of its inhabitants, which seems to contradict their former reluctant admission of its fertility.
How far county divisions might affect the early fashions in gravestones was one of my first questions, and, having seen much of Kent, time was soon found for a scamper through the country bordering Epping Forest and along the backbone of Essex. At Barking, just within the old Abbey gate, I came upon an enigmatical illustration. Inscription illegible. Date appears to be 1759.
"The circus is now about to commence," he said, and the meaning of this enigmatical remark was made clear when Theydon saw what was written. "Dear Sir," it ran, "take Mr. Theydon to your room. I'll join you there immediately. C. F. Furneaux."
"Then don't say another word," I rejoined. "Only when I can be of service to you, you will let me, won't you?" The tears rose to her eyes. "I'm afraid it may be some fault of mine," she said. "I don't know. I can't tell. I don't understand such things." She sighed again, and held her peace. It was enigmatical enough. One thing only was clear, that at present I was not wanted.
'Don't be vexed if I keep by myself a good deal, will you? Perhaps something may happen, and I may tell you something. 'Mere coyness, said Knight to himself; and went away with a lighter heart. The trick of reading truly the enigmatical forces at work in women at given times, which with some men is an unerring instinct, is peculiar to minds less direct and honest than Knight's.
Several of the gods of the Ganges coincide even in name with those worshipped on the Ilissus and the Tiber: thus the Uranus of the Greeks is the Varunas, their Zeus, Jovis pater, Diespiter is the Djaus pita of the Vedas. An unexpected light has been thrown on various enigmatical forms in the Hellenic mythology by recent researches regarding the earlier divinities of India.
He heard my oars. "And then, before I could open my lips, the East spoke to me, but it was in a Western voice. A torrent of words was poured into the enigmatical, the fateful silence; outlandish, angry words, mixed with words and even whole sentences of good English, less strange but even more surprising.
If I succeed, you shall, according to our written agreement, be all provided for. Not that I would feel very strongly disposed to do much for that enigmatical old grandfather of mine. The vile old ferret saw me in the lock-up the other morning, and refused to bail me out; ay, and threatened me besides."
We cross to the L. wall, rich with examples of Raphael, and of his school; and turn first to a lovely little panel, 1509, Apollo and Marsyas, of most enigmatical authorship, bought in 1883 from Mr. Morris Moore for 200,000 francs. Sold, in 1850, as a Mantegna, it has since been variously assigned to Raphael, Perugino, Timoteo Viti, and Francia.
