Whitney." "Oh, no," returned Delia. "But she is a very dear friend, Mr. Underhill's sister." "Mr. Stephen Underhill?" "Yes, she is his sister; but it is Mr. Ben Underhill who is here." "I know Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Underhill very well. She was a Beekman. And Dr. Hoffman's wife belongs to the family." Delia turned and introduced Mrs. Kirtland.
Delia had supposed everything would come around straight; it generally did in her happy-go-lucky fashion. But on Commencement day, when she was all smiles and gladness, Mrs. Underhill's coolness and Mrs. Hoffman's stately distance quite amazed her. "Ben," she said, "something has happened with your people. Your mother hardly spoke to me, and Margaret was icy.
Hoffman's brocade shawl, her Sunday hat tilted rakishly on one side, and with his tail at "port-arms" over his left shoulder. He blinked lazily at the foe and then his head tilted forward under Mrs. Hoffman's hat. "Saints presarve us!" gasped Mrs. Rafferty, crossing herself. "The baste is drunk!" Yes, Jocko was undeniably tipsy.
Hoffman asked if they had understood; they almost all answered, Ja, ja, ja. This visit has afforded an opportunity of our becoming acquainted with many serious characters out of the neighborhood who were come to the interment; many of them felt near to me in spirit. Hoffman's wife is a precious, still character; there is much sweetness in her countenance.
Peter Ivanovitch stood in portentous expectant silence by the side of his chair. A slight feeling of nausea came over Razumov. What could be the relations of these two people to each other? She like a galvanized corpse out of some Hoffman's Tale he the preacher of feminist gospel for all the world, and a super-revolutionist besides!
My alarm may be easily imagined. I put on a petticoat, and found the King in her bed, panting. What was to be done? it was an indigestion. We threw water upon him, and he came to himself. I made him swallow some Hoffman's drops, and he said to me, "Do not make any noise, but go to Quesnay; say that your mistress is ill; and tell the Doctor's servants to say nothing about it."
Major Hoffman's remarks on the causes of the moral breakdown of the Empire and of the French army do not help us to much that is novel. He lays more than the usual stress on Ultramontanism as an influence.
I was particularly glad to have an opportunity to see the notabilities whose names and actions had been our daily food these last months. We sat in Mr. Hoffman's box, who, in his position as secretary of the American Legation, had been obliged to attend all these seances from the first. He knew all the celebrities, and most amiably pointed them out to me.
Room 118 holds the pictures of several gold-medal winners, the "Promenade" by Max Bohm; the noble "Lake Louise" by H. J. Breuer, whose pictures of the Canadian Rockies are also to be found in Rooms 56 and 58; the tender "Spring" by W. D. Hamilton, worthy of a better place; and H. L. Hoffman's clearlighted "A Mood of Spring" , and his vivid "Savannah Market" .
He mentions, however, one Monsieur Hoffman, who married a French lady, with whom he was very great, and after the calamitous accident of Mr. Hoffman's being drowned, he pleasantly describes the grief of the widow, and the methods he took of removing her sorrow, by an attempt in which he succeeded.
