Macdonald paints a lurid picture of the conspirators at work of Diderot penning his false and malignant instructions, of Madame d'Epinay's half-unwilling hand putting the last touches to the fraud, of Grimm, rushing back to Paris at the time of the Revolution, and risking his life in order to make quite certain that the result of all these efforts should reach posterity.
We have his portrait. Come this way," and she led the half-unwilling Maggie into an adjoining room, where from the wall a portly, good-humored-looking man gazed down upon the sisters, his eyes seeming to rest with mournful tenderness on the face of her whom in life they had not looked upon. He seemed older than Maggie had supposed, and the hair upon his head was white, reminding her of Hagar.
Then followed the slow, half-unwilling, not hopeful march of timeless feet; then a clang as of something broken, then a silence as of sunrise, then air and liberty long-drawn notes divided with quick, hurried ones; then the trampling of many feet, going farther and farther merrily, with dance and song; once more a sudden pause and a melody in which she read the awe-struck joyous return of one.
Then he turned his course a little, keeping in the channel where the water was deeper. "What can we wave?" "Take your work, Edna. Tie it to a stick." "Tie my work to a stick? Why, it would ruin it." "No, it wouldn't. What if it did? We don't want to stay here all day;" and Eunice caught the linen scarf from Edna's half-unwilling hand, and, tying it to a stick, waved it furiously.
The Baroness bowed with a smile, which said, had he chosen to interpret it, "I give you permission to carry her off now and forever, if you wish it." At that moment she was placing in the half-unwilling arms of Hubert Marien an enormous rubber balloon and a jumping-jack, in return for five Louis which he had laid humbly on her table.
Virginia watched him more than once from her seat, in half-unwilling admiration. She was ashamed to admit that her personal enthusiasm for him had in any way abated, and yet she was becoming conscious of that absolute lack of any real cordiality, of any evidence of affection in his demeanour towards her and every one else with whom he was brought into contact.
Better soon before the roots have struck too deep. But you're so furiously angry with the reason that you seem almost to forget ... the fact." His eyes brooded on her, full of pain and the old, half-unwilling infatuation. He could not so hurt her pride as to confess that their discovery had been mutual. Let her glean what satisfaction she could from having taken the lead first and last.
She began to recover the start he had given her, and to study him with a half-unwilling curiosity. "Then Mellor will please you," she said drily, in answer to his remark, carrying her own tea meanwhile to a chair on the other side of the fire. "My father never bought anything my father can't. I believe we have chairs enough to sit down upon but we have no curtains to half the windows.
La Fayette had called the huge giant of popular force from its squalid lurking-places, and now he trembled before its presence, and fled from it shrieking, with averted hands. Marat thrust swords into the giant's half-unwilling grasp, and plied him with bloody incitement to slay hip and thigh, and so filled the land with a horror that has not faded from out of men's minds to this day.
While the captain was laughing at the incident, and Rokens was narrating some of the minute details in the half-unwilling yet half-willing ears of the sisters, the door opened, and a young man entered hastily and apologised for being late. "The fact is, Miss Dunning, had I not promised faithfully to come, I should not have made my appearance at all to-night."
