The delicious moments are when the intangibilities prevail and pervade and possess. In the king's palace there must have been shrines to intangibilities as there should be everywhere for they seemed to come there, and belong. The mere happenings included, for example, a talk that St. George had with Mr. Augustus Frothingham on the terrace after luncheon, in which St.
He impressed St. George vaguely as one who seemed to have risen from the dead of the crudities of mere events and to be living in a rarer atmosphere. The lawyer's face was a study. Mr. Augustus Frothingham never went to the theatre because he did not believe that a man of affairs should unduly stimulate the imagination.
"A world experience, a world experience, dear Madame," contributed Mr. Frothingham, his hands laid trimly along his blue velvet lap. "But that doesn't make it any easier to bear, no matter what anybody says," retorted the lady.
Had he not thrown scorn upon people who make a 'fuss' about their children. Had he not despised and detested chatter about babies? To his old self what a simpleton would he have seemed! On the morrow Mrs. Frothingham took her departure; leaving it, as usual, uncertain when she would come again, but pleasantly assured that it could not be very long.
George, watching that little figure so adorably, almost pathetically little in its corner of the great throne knew that he had not counted upon her in vain. Over there on the raised seats Mrs. Medora Hastings and Mr. Augustus Frothingham were looking on matters as helplessly as they would look at a thunder-storm or a circus procession, and they were taking things quite as seriously.
For Amory was in the midst of a reminiscent reference to the Chiswicks, in the Adirondacks, and to Antionette Frothingham in a launch. At last they all were aware that the chess-board was being closed and Mrs. Hastings had risen. "I suppose," she was saying, "that they have an idea here, the poor deluded creatures, that it is very late.
Frothingham sat holding a weird little animal, like a squirrel but for its stumpy tail and great human eyes, which he had unwittingly stepped on among the rocks. The little thing was licking his hand, and the old lawyer's face was softened and glowing as he nursed it and coaxed it with crumbs. As he looked, St.
Frothingham shows clearly that the actual force as organized, with artificers and drivers of carts, was not less than twelve hundred men. Cambridge Common was the place of rendezvous, where, at early twilight of June 16, the Reverend Samuel Langdon, president of Harvard College, invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon the solemn undertaking.
'Then she may hear something before long. I don't pretend to understand the beastly affair, but Mrs. Frothingham wrote to us about it the day before yesterday, with hints of eighteenpence in the pound, which she seemed to think very glorious. Carnaby growled in disgust. 'Eighteenpence be damned! Well, perhaps it'll buy her a hat.
Carnaby had reduced his capital by a couple of thousand pounds in preliminary expenses, and debt to the amount of two or three hundred was outstanding at the end of the first twelvemonth; but Sibyl manifested no alarm. 'We have been great fools, she said, alluding to their faith in Bennet Frothingham. 'It's certain that I have, replied her husband.
