So, upon the first symptoms of placability, I answered cordially, "Halicarnassus, it has been the ambition of my life to write a book of travels. But to write a book of travels, one must first have travelled." "Not at all," he responded. "With an atlas and an encyclopaedia one can travel around the world in his arm-chair." "But one cannot have personal adventures," I said.
"I don't think," replied this unprincipled man, "I don't think it was the flavor of the spoon so much as of the coin which each berry represented." I could have boxed his ears. I never made a more unsatisfactory investment in my life than the one I made in that restaurant. I felt as if I had been swindled, and I said so to Halicarnassus. He remarked that there was plenty of cream and sugar.
The idea of the Roman Empire, its theoretical justification, might be described as the realisation of the unity of the world by the establishment of a common order, the unification of mankind in a single world-embracing political organism. There is a stone from Halicarnassus in the British Museum, on which the idea is formally expressed from another point of view.
We have got to the end," said Halicarnassus, roaming as to his eyes over into the wheat-field beyond. "We might turn," suggested the Anakim, looking bright, "How can you turn a horse in this knitting-needle of a lane?" I demanded.
O brave little bark! Is it Love that watches at the masthead? Is it Wisdom that stands at the helm? Is it Strength that curves the swift keel? "Hello! how many?" I start up wildly, and knock my hat off into the water. Jump after it, at the imminent risk of going in myself, catch it by one of the strings, and stare at Halicarnassus. "Asleep, I fancy?" says Halicarnassus, interrogatively.
He begins his work thus: "These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and marvelous actions of the Greeks and the barbarians from losing their due meed of glory, and withal to put on record what were the grounds of their hostility."
When the first edition was published by Campano in 1470, the world of scholars welcomed a familiar friend. Other classical critical treatises filtered into England even more slowly. The De compositione verborum of Dionysius of Halicarnassus received its first printing at the hands of Aldus in 1508 and was edited again by Estienne in 1546, and by Sturm in 1550.
Halicarnassus and the Anakim took up their position in line on the other side of the road, hat in hand, watching. "Go fast, and shame them," whispered Grande, from the back-seat, and the suggestion jumped with my own mood. It was a moment of intense excitement. To be or not to be. I jerked the lines. Pegasus did not start. "C-l-k-l-k!" No forward movement. "Huddup!"
"I don't," said Halicarnassus, rubbing his eyes. "I only wish," I added, "that she would turn Rebel, so that Government might confiscate her. Paper currency would go up at once from the sudden influx of gold, and the credit of the country receive a new lease of life. She must be a lineal descendant of Sir Roger de Coverley, for I am sure her finger sparkles with a hundred of his richest acres."
You will be poisoned!" and knocked his out of his hand with such instinctive, sudden violence that it flew to the other side of the room, where an old gentleman sat over his newspaper and dinner. He started, dropped his newspaper, and looked around in a maze. Halicarnassus behaved beautifully, I will give him the credit of it.
