"Belay your jaw, Jack." "Ay, ay, sir." "Why so, Mr. Dodd?" objected Lucy gently. "I am not so weak as you think me. Do not keep the truth from me. I share the danger; let me share the sense of danger, too. You shall not blush for me." "Danger? There is not a grain of it, unless we make danger by inattention and babbling." "You will not do that," said Lucy. Equivoque missed fire.
Remember, if its anchor is weighed or slipped," he added, with that extraordinary penetration which saw every possibility of even equivoque, and guarded against it, "the Buccaneer's life is forfeit." Robin bowed with great submission, but still lingered. "Please your Highness, he does so love that vessel!" "You practise on our humanity, young man, and forget to whom you speak."
At the moment when the drama which we are narrating is on the point of penetrating into the depths of one of the tragic clouds which envelop the beginning of Louis Philippe's reign, it was necessary that there should be no equivoque, and it became requisite that this book should offer some explanation with regard to this king.
Everything characteristic of Verlaine was expressed in these adorable verses of the Fetes Galantes: Le soir tombait, un soir equivoque d'automne, Les belles se pendant reveuses a nos bras, Dirent alors des mots si specieux tout bas, Que notre ame depuis ce temps tremble et s'etonne
'Say it out frankly, Kate, cried Nina, as with flashing eyes and heightened colour she paced the drawing-room from end to end, with that bold sweeping stride which in moments of passion betrayed her. 'Say it out. I know perfectly what you are hinting at. 'I never hint, said the other gravely; 'least of all with those I love. 'So much the better. I detest an equivoque.
"It was your Grace." "Oh, of course, of course, man! But why the deuce did I do it?" "It was at the request of Count Guarino Guarini, Magnificence?" "Eh, eh! now I recollect. Ah, to be sure! That must be a very agreeable reflection for you at this moment, my friend," he said, with a sly look. Angioletto took the equivoque with dignity, "I have perfect confidence in my wife, my lord Duke."
And in the same way went to guests one after the other, without being able to unburden themselves of their sauces, as soon again found themselves all in the presence of Louis the Eleventh, as much distressed as before, looking at each other slyly, understanding each other better with their tails than they ever understood with their mouths, for there is never any equivoque in the transactions of the parts of nature, and everything therein is rational and of easy comprehension, seeing that it is a science which we learn at our birth.
The equivoque was obviated by Mr. Wyvern's tone. 'I have heard stories about Adela Waltham. Is there any truth in them? 'I fear so; I fear so. 'That she is really going to marry Mr. Mutimer? He tried to speak the name without discourtesy, but his lips writhed after it. 'I fear she is going to marry him, said the vicar deliberately. Hubert held his peace. 'It troubles me.
This is to be regretted for it is a mischievous equivoque, to make 'good' a synonyme of 'pleasant, or even the 'genus' of which pleasure is a 'species'. It is a grievous mistake to say, that bad men seek pleasure because it is good. No! like children they call it good because it is pleasant. Even the useful must derive its meaning from the good, not 'vice versa'. Postscript.
The royal magnificences of the sunset have passed, the solemn beatitude of the night is at hand but not yet here; the ways are veiled with shadow, and lit with dresses, white, that the hour has touched with blue, yellow, green, mauve, and undecided purple; the voices? strange contraltos; the forms? not those of men or women, but mystic, hybrid creatures, with hands nervous and pale, and eyes charged with eager and fitful light ...
