There's a march in Verdi's Attila and I Lombardi, I declare I'm in military step when I hear them, as in the old days, after leaving the Opera. Fredi takes little Mab Mountney to her first Opera to-night. Enough to make us old ones envious! You remember your first Opera, Fenellan? Sonnambula, with me.
'At any rate, Mr. Durance hurts no one. You will, in your letter, appoint the day of the interview? 'Hurts himself! Yes, dearest; appoint for ten days homeward eleventh day from to-day. And you to Fredi: a bit of description as you can, my Nataly! Happy to be a dolomite, to be painted by Nataly's pen.
It's the rustic I want to bathe me; and I had the feeling at school, biting at Horace. Well, this is my Sabine Farm, rather on a larger scale, for the sake of friends. Come, and pure air, water from the springs, walks and rides in lanes, high sand-lanes; Nataly loves them; Fredi worships the old roots of trees: she calls them the faces of those weedy sandy lanes.
Hard on poor Fredi! was Victor's thought behind the smile he bent on this bald Cupid. She deserved a more poetical lover! His paternal sympathies for the girl besought in love, revived his past feelings as a wooer; nothing but a dread of the influence of Mr. Barmby's toned eloquence upon the girl, after her listening to Dudley Sowerby's addresses, checked his contempt for the latter.
London kills Nataly as well as Fredi and me: that is I can use the words to you I get back to primal innocence in the country. We all three have the feeling. You're a man to understand. My beasts, and the wild flowers, hedge-banks, and stars. Fredi's poetess will tell you. Quiet waters reflecting. I should feel it in Paris as well, though they have nightingales in their Bois.
You know, I dined with that couple, after the private twenty minutes with Marsett: he formally propounded the invitation, as we were close on his hour, rather late: and I wanted to make the woman happy, besides putting a seal of cordiality on his good intentions politic! And subsequently I heard from her, that you'll think nothing of it! Fredi promised to stand by her at the altar.
She heard Dartrey's praise of Nesta's voice for tearing her mother's bosom with notes of intolerable sweetness; and it was haphazard irony, no doubt; we do not the less bleed for the accident of a shot. At last, after midnight Victor arrived. Nesta most impudently expected to be allowed to remain. 'Pray, go, dear, her mother said. Victor kissed his Fredi.
Here was Fredi, his little Fredi stately girl that she had grown, and grave, too, for all her fun and her sail on wings lifting him to pleasures not followed by clamorous, and perfectly satisfactory, yet discomposingly violent, appeals to Nature. They could be vindicated. Or could they, when they would not bear a statement of the case?
It's a place for being quite independent of neighbours, free as air. 'Oh! bravo! 'And Fredi will have her horse, and mama her pony-carriage; and Fredi can have a swim every Summer morning. 'A swim? Her note was dubious. 'A river? 'A good long stretch fairish, fairish. Bit of a lake; bathing-shed; the Naiad's bower: pretty water to see. 'Ah. And has the house a name? 'Lakelands.
'As it is at present, I may reckon, I hope, that the association ceases. Her name: I have to consider my family. 'Good anchorage! You must fight it out with the girl. And depend upon this you're not the poorer for being the husband of a girl of character; unless you try to bridle her. She belongs to her time. I don't mind owning to you, she has given me a lead. Fredi 'll be merry to-night.
