Of the faults of Sheridan both in his witty and serious styles the occasional effort of the one, and the too frequent false finery of the other some examples may be cited from the dialogue of this play. Among the former kind is the following elaborate conceit: "Falk. Has Lydia changed her mind? I should have thought her duty and inclination would now have pointed to the same object. "Abs.
"Did he tell you that in so many words?" I asked with indignation. Hermann had not. He had given hints only; and of course it had not taken very much to alarm Falk; but, instead of declaring himself, he had taken steps to remove the family from under my influence. He was perfectly straightforward about it as straightforward as a tile falling on your head.
Then, just as Falk was ready to put his hand on him, the man let go his hold and sank like a stone. Falk reflected on these sights. His heart revolted against the horror of death, and he said to himself that he would struggle for every precious minute of his life. One afternoon as the survivors lay about on the after deck the carpenter, a tall man with a black beard, spoke of the last sacrifice.
But you must have made your mind up about life. I want to know what you think of it." "That's a tall order," said Ronder, smiling. "What one thinks of life! Well, one can't say all in a moment, you know." And then, as though he had suddenly decided to take his companion seriously, his face was grave and his round shining eyes wide open. Falk coloured. "Perhaps you think me impertinent," he said.
The famous mystic Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk, one of the many Baal-Shems who flourished in Podolia at the beginning of the eighteenth century, settled in London before 1750, and became the subject of many wonder stories. Sussman Shesnovzi, apparently a countryman of his, describes him, in a letter to Jacob Emden, as "standing alone in his generation by reason of his knowledge of holy mysteries."
But in the forenoon watch Roger Hamlin came forward openly and told me certain things that were more momentous than any treasure-hunting trip to India that Blodgett ever dreamed of. Captain Falk and Mr. Kipping I suppose they must be given their titles now watched him, and I could see that they didn't like it.
In ordinary times Falk would have told him to go to the devil, and there would have been a row, but to-day he was caught away so absolutely into his own world that any one could speak to him, any one laugh at him, any one insult him, and he would not care.
"The heathens went out to the ship in one o' them boats, and Falk fired on 'em!" "And two of 'em was killed!" Davie exclaimed unnecessarily. Roger now laid half a melon on the floor, its flat side down, and moved the boat slowly over to it. That the half-melon represented the island was apparent to all.
But on her great foresail, which hung loose now with the wind shaken out of it, there was a lozenge-shaped patch of clean new canvas. Soon word passed from mouth to mouth that the captain and Mr. Falk would go in the gig to learn the stranger's name and port.
I'd have thought he'd have bothered me long before this. I'm ready for him if he comes. By the way, if mother shows any signs of wanting to come up to town just now, do your best to prevent her. Father needs her, and it's her place to look after him. I've special reasons for saying this...." What a funny thing for Falk to say! and the only allusion to his mother in the whole of the letter.
