"I think she will do, Feltham," he said. The chauffeur touched his cap and grinned broadly. "She did it in thirty-eight minutes, sir; not bad for a twenty-mile run half of it through London." "Not bad," agreed Mr. Holland, slowly stripping his gloves. The car was drawn up at the entrance to the country cottage which a lavish expenditure of money had converted into a bijou palace.
On and on sped the car, through Putney and Richmond, on past Feltham and Staines, eating up the miles so fast that before they knew it they were out in the country, flying along the level road between hedges whose green had not as yet become dusty with the summer's traffic. It was a glorious afternoon in early May, and the Thames valley was at its best.
These suggested the production in 1659 of "A Perfect Description of the People and Country of Scotland" and, also in 1659, "A Brief Character of the Low Countries under the States, being Three Weeks' Observation of the Vices and Virtues of the Inhabitants." This was written by Owen Feltham, and added to several editions of his "Resolves."
Ralph asked curiously. "Curiously enough, it is apropos of these Deloras," I answered. "I called to-day, but only found the girl in. The man I saw later with a Chinaman whom I believe to be the ambassador." "What is the girl like?" my brother asked. "Charming!" I answered. "I am writing Aunt Mary to invite her down to Feltham. The difficulty seems to be to get hold of Delora."
He hath still that page that same Lutin that goblin? Well, the boy hath set game for me ere now. I will be revenged, too, for I owe him a grudge for an old score at the ordinary. Let me see Black Feltham, and Dick Shakebag we shall want a fourth I love to make sure, and the booty will stand parting, besides what I can bucket them out of. Well, scrivener, lend me two pieces.
"I shall probably be down myself before the end of the month. Whom shall you ask?" I made a list of a few of the men whom I knew, and who I believed were still in town, but when I sat down to write to them I felt curiously reluctant to commit myself to staying at Feltham.
And what are you going to do about it, Feltham?" The man looked to left and right as though seeking some friend in need who would step forth with ready-made advice. "The only thing I can do, sir," he said, "is to give myself up." "And give me up, too," said the other, with a little laugh. "Oh, no, my dear Feltham. Listen; I will tell you something.
And yet he is one of our highest authorities for real English. To see what he rescued us from in pedantry on the one hand, and vulgarism on the other, read Feltham and Tom Brown if you can. Voltaire to M. De Chabanon, 9 mars, 1772. Dryden would have agreed with Voltaire. This was true of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and still more of Southey who in some respects was not unlike Dryden.
This play did not succeed to his expectation, and Ben being filled with indignation at the people's want of taste, wrote an Ode addressed to himself on that occasion, advising him to quit the stage, which was answered by Mr. Feltham. Thus have we given a detail of Ben Johnson's works.
Though I cannot do what I would, I will labor to do what I can. Feltham. Flying the kite is a pleasant amusement for boys, and when we see the kites flying high in the air, we are always reminded of a kite whose history we heard when a little child, and which we give our readers.
