Barren as this country is, it abounds with a variety of unknown plants, and gave sufficient employment to Mr Forster and his party. The tree, which produceth the winter's bark; is found here in the woods, as is the holy-leaved barberry; and some other sorts, which I know not, but I believe are common in the straits of Magalhaens.
"No, I don't know that anyone else is hit, Doctor; but as I turned to come into the house after the gates were shut, there was that fellow Bathurst leaning against the wall as white as a sheet, and shaking all over like a leaf. I should say a strong dose of Dutch courage would be the best medicine there." "You do not do justice to Bathurst, Captain Forster," the Doctor said gravely.
The young lady spoken of in it is the same from whose papers in the Atlantic Monthly, entitled "Last Days of Walter Savage Landor," Mr. Forster has gleaned, as he says, one or two additional glimpses of him in his last Florence home. The letter is without date, and runs as follows: On this sentiment I forbade Mr. Forster to prefix an engraving of me over my collected works.
I would make for that town instead of Lucknow if you will go with me, and I could leave you there in safety till these troubles are over; I am going to take another horse as well as my own, and two would be as likely to escape as one." "Thank you for the offer, Captain Forster," she said coldly, "but I decline it. My place is here with my uncle and the others." "Why is it?" he asked passionately.
His detection, through the stupidity of the Fat Boy, is singularly natural and original. Some of Dowler's dictatorial ways may have been suggested by Boz's friend, the redoubtable John Forster.
"This army means business, let me tell you; and it's got right down to it. They've been fighting three and a half years over in Europe, and they send their best men over to show us, and we dig in and learn I tell you, we work as if the devil was after us!" It sounded so strange to hear things like this from the lips of Emil Forster!
While he was in gaol, Dickens, Macready, and Hablot Browne came across him by chance. They had been going over the prisons of London, searching for artistic effects, and in Newgate they suddenly caught sight of Wainewright. He met them with a defiant stare, Forster tells us, but Macready was 'horrified to recognise a man familiarly known to him in former years, and at whose table he had dined.
The plan proved a brilliant success, for we carried all our candidates at that election, and this method of getting over the difficulties of the cumulative vote was afterwards adopted in all large towns, including London. Forster was greatly wroth at the time, and told me that he looked upon the scheme as a dishonest attempt to evade an Act of Parliament.
I repeat the woman is fundamentally sensible." No story about Forster gave such delight to his friends as this; he himself was half flattered, half annoyed. Forster liked to be with people of high degree as, perhaps, most of us do. At one time he was infinitely flattered by the attentions of Count Dorsay, who, no doubt, considered him a personage.
"I know," said Ives, nodding wisely. "It's the dead certainty of the thing," went on Forster, "that keeps me in doubt. There'll nevermore be anything around the corner." "Nothing after the 'Little Church," said Ives. "I know." "Understand," said Forster, "that I am in no doubt as to my feelings toward the lady. I may say that I love her truly and deeply.
