At first this high compliment was pleasing to Giorgione; then he became indifferent, and finally disgusted. The very sight of Titian gave him a pain. He avoided his society. He ceased to speak to him when they met, and forbade his friends to mention the name "Titian" in his presence. It was about this time that Giorgione's ladylove won fame by discarding him in that foolish, fishwife fashion.
Amid such contending interests, and in a free city so near to several frontiers, men came and went without attracting undesired attention. Each party suspected a new-comer of belonging to the other. "He scrapes a fiddle," Koch had explained to the inquiring fishwife. And perhaps he knew no more than this of Antoine Sebastian. Sebastian was poor. All the Frauengasse knew that.
His strength gradually returned, and supported in the arms of the old fishwife, he sat up. His face was turned away from Nora, and his eyes rested on the features of the former. He took her hand between his. "Mother," he whispered, "I have been cruelly deceived.
I have looked carefully at the facts of thy last long letter, and they are just such as might have befallen any little truant of the High School, who had got down to Leith Sands, gone beyond the PRAWN-DUB, wet his hose and shoon, and, finally, had been carried home, in compassion, by some high-kilted fishwife, cursing all the while the trouble which the brat occasioned her.
He knows nothing of ablative, conjunctive, substantive, or grammar, no more than his lackey, or a fishwife of the Petit Pont; and yet these will give you a bellyful of talk, if you will hear them, and peradventure shall trip as little in their language as the best masters of art in France.
I wish I had a princess dress of moleskin with a court train of squirrel hanging from the shoulders! Here is the thing; my black Liberty satin two years old. I will cover part of my exposed neck and shoulders with a fichu of lace; my black silk openwork stockings will be drawn on over a pair of balbriggans, and the number of petticoats I shall don would discourage a Scotch fishwife!
As the young ladies entered, conducted by Dermot, she placed two three-legged stools and begged them to be seated, for there was no chair in the hut. "You have come to honour an old fishwife with a visit, ladies," she said; "you are welcome. If I lived in a palace you would be more welcome still. My boy has told me of your kindness to him. A mother's heart is grateful.
It's a sin to hear how they curse an' swear." "The wumman's right," said Cameron, the smith, who was courting her while he mended the kitchen range. "They're foul as an Edinburgh fishwife the new men. Go no place wi'out a Varian, two Varians, or one of my lads." "Good Lord! I'm not a kid, Ian!" "Ye're no' a mon, neither. An' ye're the owner's first," said Cameron grimly.
"I'm no match for Newhaven." So saying she cut short the dispute by carrying off the gristle of contention. "Another enemy to art," said Gatty, hurling away his pencil. The young fishwife inquired if there were any more griefs. What she had heard had not accounted, to her reason, for her companion's depression. "Are ye sick, laddy?" said she.
For there will be difficulty when all is known; and if it comes to a struggle between a pretty fishwife and the good of a king ach! mein Gott! I am not for the fishwife!" The King smiled; and Von Glauben went on. "Well, he assured me she was not a fishwife. I said 'What is she then? 'I tell you, he replied, 'she is an angel!
