The experience of Mr Hichens is so valuable that I cannot do better than quote further.
She was indeed gathering up her skirts for the run, when in the hall she almost collided with the Reverend Malachi Hichens, who stood there with his nose buried in a vase of roses, while behind his back his hands interwove themselves and pulled each at the other's bony knuckles. "Ah!" He faced about with a stiff bow, and a glance up at the tall clock. "You are late this morning, Miss Josselin.
Simply this, that if the word "psychology" took on for him a clear and definite meaning, it might stimulate at once his imagination and his ambition. Messrs. Hichens and Fagan, for example, might have asked themselves or each other "Are we getting beneath the surface of this woman's nature? Are we plucking the heart out of her mystery?
"Well, it was just what I said to you a while ago that I didn't know any men ever talked like that except in books by Hichens or Chambers why do you suppose they're both named Robert? and he went perfectly purple with rage and said I was a savage.
"Oh, well, I don't mind. Only choose something interesting. David and Goliath, or that shipwreck in the Acts." "You don't seem to understand that this is a lesson, and I must read what Mr. Hichens sets. To-day it's about Hagar and Ishmael." "I seem to forget about them; but fire away, and we'll hope there's a story in it."
He was sending thither two of his gentlest thoroughbreds, that she might learn to ride. "But there will be a dearth of tutors, I fear. I could not, for example, very well ask Mr. Hichens to leave his cure of souls and dwell with two maiden ladies in the wilderness." She laughed. Her eyes sparkled already at the thought of learning to be a horsewoman. "I will do without tutors."
A tremendous dramatic success. THE GARDEN OF ALLAH. By Robert Hichens. An unconventional English woman and an inscrutable stranger meet and love in an oasis of the Sahara. Staged this season with magnificent cast and gorgeous properties. THE PRINCE OF INDIA. By Lew. Wallace.
Hichens, in the "Green Carnation," reaffirmed the strange idea that young noblemen talk well; though his case had some vague biographical foundation, and in consequence an excuse. Mrs. Craigie is considerably guilty in the matter, although, or rather because, she has combined the aristocratic note with a note of some moral and even religious sincerity.
Hichens once very happily spoke of the "earth-bigness" of some of the music, and this is the bigness I find in Schubert at his best and strongest.
There is the same cynicism, the same epigrammatic wit. Among the new English story writers there are none more brilliant than Mr. Hichens." Chicago Tribune. SLEEPING FIRES. By George Gissing, author of "In the Year of Jubilee," "Eve's Ransom," etc. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents. "Intense, extremely well told, and full of discriminating study of life and character."
