The description of the household pets, and the vermin including a lizard with an uncanny habit of 'unfastening its tail and making off on its stump when pursued' rivals the famous verandah scene in Geoffry Hamlyn. An intimation in the preface that these experiences are a faithful record from the early life of the author herself sufficiently explains their graphic quality.
No, nor any two to one, not even we two. Win or lose, I go it alone. 'Twould be fatal to do otherwise if I would. You'll see that the minute you see her." "Why, Geoffry! What a heat!" "Oh, I'll be the only one burned. Good night. I can't see you to-morrow before evening. Shall we dine here?" "Yes. Oh, Geoffry that New York letter! Manuscript accepted?" A shade crossed the son's brow.
He flattered himself that he was as well dressed in painting rig as under any other circumstances; and quite right he was, too. For Oliver Kenwick had no mannish contempt for appearances. He could not have done justice to the ragged shirt and begrimed legs of a model, if he had been wearing such a superannuated coat as Geoffry Daymond elected to paint in.
Hampered by revolt, himself in character little more than a bold, dashing soldier, Fulk's son, Geoffry Greygown, sank almost into a vassal of his powerful neighbours, the Counts of Blois and Champagne. But this vassalage was roughly shaken off by his successor.
Jeff's lips closed tightly and his eyes fell. "Then I must believe, Geoffry, that it is you who have disobeyed me. Have you anything to say for yourself?" "I did not go in the boat," he said doggedly, picking up some books and strapping them together, with despair at his heart. Surely this was being a hero. "Do not add a lie to your offence and make it worse."
"I wonder whether we should really want time to stand still, even in Venice," said Pauline, as they passed up the steps into the room where May had last been seen. "That would depend," Geoffry answered, and there was that indescribable something in his voice which she had heard more than once of late, and which she always found extremely discomposing.
Mother, dearie, isn't it as much she as I you've come to see?" "Well, if it is, what then?" "I'm glad. But I draw the line at seeing. Help, you understand, I don't want I won't have!" "Why, Geoffry, I !" "Oh, I say it because there isn't one of that kind-hearted coterie who hasn't wanted to put in something in my favor. I forbid! A dozen to one I won't allow it!
He was thanking me the other day, at Torcello, when you came up. I suppose that was why he was so melodramatic," and she laughed a little forced laugh, and looked Geoffry straight in the face again. He saw her embarrassment, and understood that she had been setting him right, and that it had cost her an effort to refer to the matter.
To these poor monks may, however, be applied the sly remark of Hume, upon a similar act of cruelty perpetuated, though for a far more innocent cause, by Geoffry, the father of Henry II., upon the prior and chapter of Seez in Normandy, viz., that "of the pain and danger they might justly complain, yet, since they had vowed chastity, he deprived them of a superfluous treasure."
Geoffry Daymond, pausing at the top of the short flight of steps a few minutes later, face to face with Pauline, fancied that he discovered a subtle kinship between her countenance and the pictured one; and then, as he turned to compare them, he unhesitatingly gave his preference to the girl of the nineteenth century, with the rare, sylvan face and the uplifted look.
