If we are not deprived by nature or misfortune of the means to pursue this perpetual augmentation of knowledge, I do not see but we may be still fully occupied and deeply interested even to the last day of our earthly term." Such is the delightful thought of Owen Feltham; "If I die to-morrow, my life will be somewhat the sweeter to-day for knowledge."
Quarterly Rev. Envy. "Of all the spies that are," says Mr. Owen Feltham, "envy is the most observant and prying. When the physicians to Frederick were relating what most would sharpen the sight, some were for fennel, and some for glasses, and others for other matters; the noble Actius did assure them, there was nothing that would do it like envy.
"Sit down, Feltham," said Mr. Rex Holland. "I dare say you think it was rather strange of me to give you that little commission the other day," said Mr. Holland, crossing his legs and leaning back against a tree. The chauffeur smiled uncomfortably. "Yes, sir, I did," he said shortly. "Were you satisfied with what I gave you?" asked the man. The chauffeur shuffled his feet uneasily.
"I slept last night within thirty miles from here, and, as I told you before, am on my way to shoot with my uncle at the present moment." "I know nothing of the geography of your country," Delora said shortly. "What you say may be correct. His Excellency and I are having a few days' holiday." "May I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at Feltham?" I inquired.
So it was over, then, my little attempt at espionage! My word was pledged. I could do no more. I walked round to Claridge's later in the evening and saw my brother. "Ralph," I said, "if your offer of the shooting is still good, I think I will take a few men down to Feltham." "Do, Austen," he answered. "Old Heggs will be ever so pleased. It seems a shame not to have a gun upon the place.
She will send you a telegram at once if I tell her to, and we could all stay together down at Feltham, my brother's house in Norfolk. You are out of place here. You are not enjoying yourself, and you are worried to death. Beside which," I added more slowly, "you are mixed up with people with whom you should have nothing whatever to do." "If only I could!" she murmured. "If only I could!"
As the years went by even the gang became tired of his habitual intoxication, and only occasionally gave him employment, so that he turned his attention to scenery painting for the stage. In this way, when engaged at the Rockingham Theatre, he met Martha Feltham, Ada Lester's dresser, and by means of boasting of his wealth finally persuaded her to marry him.
I have been unable to identify him, except that he went by the name of Feltham and was an Australian. That was the name he gave to the photographer with whom he talked. You see, the photograph was taken in High Street, Putney.
"My dear Ralph," I said, "this is really first-class. The last time I saw you, you scarcely expected to be out of your bath-chair in six months." "I am getting on, Austen," he answered, "thanks! I am getting on. I will sit in that easy-chair for a few minutes. Thanks! Then we will have some breakfast." "I was starting for Feltham this morning," I told him, "when I got your letter."
That quality will do anything that can be done in this world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities, will make a two-legged creature a Man without it." "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings." Proverbs of Solomon. "That man is but of the lower part of the world that is not brought up to business and affairs." Owen Feltham
