"I am satisfied with Godolphin's Haxard much better than I am with Miss Havisham's Salome, strong as it is. On the artistic side alone, I should prefer to keep Godolphin and let her go, if it could be done justly. Then, I know that Godolphin has made sacrifices and borne losses on account of the play, and I think that he has a right to a share in its success, if it has a chance of succeeding.
Such was the fate of S 's wife; such may be the fate of Godolphin's. Oh, Miss Vernon could not marry him!" "You are right, Lord Erpingham," said Constance with emphasis; "but you take too much licence in expressing your opinion." Before Lord Erpingham could stammer forth his apology they heard a slight noise behind: they turned; Godolphin had risen.
Come, I'll drive you there; my cab is at the door." "Anything better than a lecture on ambition," thought Godolphin; and he consented. Godolphin's friend was a lively young nobleman, of that good-natured, easy, uncaptious temper, which a clever, susceptible, indolent man often likes better than comrades more intellectual, because he has not to put himself out of his way in the comradeship.
By the other side of the bed sat, mute, watchful, tearless, the Moorish girl, who was Lucilla's sole attendant her eyes fixed on the sufferer with faithful, unwearying love; her ears listening, with all the quick sense of her race, to catch, amidst the growing noises of the storm, and the tread of hurrying steps below, the expected sound of the hoofs that should herald Godolphin's approach.
She now repented that she had ever desired to draw Godolphin's attention to political matters. She wondered at her own want of foresight. How, with his love for antiquity his predilections for the elegant and the serene his philosophy of the "Rose-garden" could she ever have supposed that he would side with the bold objects and turbulent will of a popular party in a stormy crisis?
All that Constance heard from others of Godolphin's life since they parted, increased her long-nursed interest in his fate. And of this objectless and unsatisfactory life she was led to consider herself the cause.
"You must forgive me, my dear Godolphin, for not apprising you before of Lady Erpingham's arrival at Rome. But a delight is perhaps the greater for being sudden." The word Erpingham thrilled displeasingly through Godolphin's veins; in some measure it restored him to himself.
Nothing like setting down those absurd people who try to tease one, and think one dares not retort. But pray I hope I'm not impertinent pray, may I ask if this rumour have any truth in it?" "Certainly not," said Constance, with great effort, but in a clear tone. "No: I should have thought not I should have thought not. Godolphin's much too poor much too poor for you.
Harley had agreed to take the part of Salome; Godolphin's old company had been mostly got together, and they were to have the first rehearsal the next morning. "Should you like me to come some time?" asked Louise. "I should like you very much to come," said Maxwell, soberly, but with a latent doubt of her meaning, which she perceived.
Had she, indeed, with sufficient address, sufficient softness, insinuated herself into Godolphin's nature? Neglected herself, had she not neglected in return? She asked herself this question, and was never weary of examining her past conduct.
