Sometimes, for a fortnight together, I never had a dinner save, perhaps, on Sunday, when a good-natured Hebe would bring me covertly a slice from the landlord's joint. My favourite place of refreshment was the Caledonian Coffee House in Covent Garden. Here, for a few coppers, I could feast on coffee and muffins muffins saturated with butter, and worthy of the gods!
"Evidently," said Adrienne; "and therefore we must play off trick for trick. What did you answer, child?" added she, addressing herself to Hebe. "I answered, that I didn't know what he was talking about." "Quite right," said Adrienne: "and the man who put the question?" "He went away, madame." "Without doubt to come back again, soon," said Agricola.
The queen then, in gentle terms, chid the princess for her invitation to the young shepherdess, which was contrary to an absolute command; and said, 'You must, my dear Hebe, be very careful to guard yourself extremely well against those temptations which wear the face of virtue.
I will take care not to stumble in the same way; and no Ganymede shall take my place for a like cause." "You are very wise. Jupiter was wrong, and henceforth I will be Hercules. Will that please you, fair Hebe?" "No; because he did not marry her till after her death." "True, again. I will be Iolas then, for . . ." "Be quiet. Iolas was old." "True; but so was I yesterday.
She combines, no doubt, in her unrivalled person, the qualities of Hebe, Venus, and Diana Hebe in youth, Venus in beauty, and Diana in wisdom; so it's said, but I trust incorrectly, as respects one of them good-bye, mother try your influence as touching Crazy Jane, and report favorably "'Friend of my soul, this goblet sip, 'Twill chase the pensive tear. &c." Tom M'Mahon's return from Dublin.
The voice of such a glorious creature, speaking mine own dear Italian language, would be music itself. And how admirably is she formed upon somewhat too large a Scale, perhaps, to precisely suit my taste, and yet the contours of her shape are so well rounded so perfectly proportioned in the most harmonious symmetry, that were she less of the Hebe she would be less charming."
During all this scene, while Georgette wrote, Florine and Hebe had continued to busy themselves with the duties of their mistress's toilette, who had put off her morning gown, and was now in full dress, in order to wait upon the princess, her aunt.
We studied the bill of fare as if it contained the secret of our army's delay upon the Potomac, and had just concluded that the first crop of strawberries was exhausted, and they were waiting for the second crop to grow, when Hebe hove in sight with her nectared ambrosia in a pair of cracked, browny-white saucers, with browny-green silver spoons.
"You mustn't have just one ideal of woman, or you'll lose the art of painting the sweetest phases of womanhood," replied the busy housemaid from the sepulchral closet. "Oh! if I have such excellent models as you make in that checked apron and dusting cap, I can do nobly." Grace laughed good humoredly as she cleaned her palette and set Hebe in one corner.
When she goes up-stairs we'll take a trip into the cellar and have a look at the main wire. You've got to stay; that's all there is about it. This is serious. I hadn't tested the wires in a week." "Perhaps it's only a fuse." "We can soon find out about that. Sh! Not a word to her!" She entered with a tray and two steaming toddies, as graceful a being as Hebe before she spilled the precious drop.
