"But her face is dimly familiar, and it is a most unusual one. Tell me something about her;" and he resumed his seat. "She is the daughter of Sir Iltyd-ap-Penrhyn," said Hollington, craning his neck to catch a last glimpse of the disappearing beauty. "Awfully poor, but dates back to before Chaos.
We will read Pope together, Shakespeare, and all the rest of the old boys. We will saturate our minds with their rhythm, and we will thereafter communicate in stately phrase and rolling periods." "It would be a great deal better than slang and 'facetiousness, as you call it. That is all very well for Lord Bective Hollington; it suits him; but you should aim at a higher standard."
Now she is the woman whose guilty love sent us both to our death. I could never forget it. There would always be a spot on the sun." "My God, Harold," exclaimed Hollington, "you are mad. Of all the insane, ridiculous, idiotic speeches that ever came from man's lips, that is the worst." "I can't help it, Becky.
Dartmouth turned uneasily once or twice. "You know I can't bear anyone near me," he said; "I want to be alone." "You have been alone long enough. I will do as I have said." There was silence for a few moments, and Dartmouth's restlessness increased. Hollington watched him closely, and after a time handed him a cigar and offered him a light.
When you do, you will understand that there is but one light in which to look at the question: Weir Penrhyn and I are Lionel Dartmouth and Sionèd Penrhyn reborn, and that is the end of the matter." Hollington groaned, and threw himself back in his chair with an impatient gesture.
"Something unusual has been the matter with him all the week, when he wouldn't even see me. Well, Jones, what is it?" as that perturbed worthy entered. "You are an early visitor." "Oh! my Lord!" exclaimed Jones, tearfully; "something dreadful hails Master 'Arold." "What is it?" demanded Hollington, quickly. "Is he ill?" Jones shook his head. "No, my Lord; I wish 'ee was. 'Ee's worse than hill.
"Sin is an impulse, a prompting, of the spirit," said Dartmouth. Hollington threw one leg over the arm of the chair, half turning his back upon Dartmouth. "Rot!" he said. "Not at all. Otherwise, the dead could sin." "I am gratified to perceive that you are still able to have the last word. All I can say is, that you have done what I thought no living man could do.
He had spent the last day but one in a desperate and fruitless attempt to rouse Dartmouth, and had used every expedient his ingenuity could suggest. Finally, at his wits' end, he determined to call in the help of Lord Bective Hollington, who was Dartmouth's most intimate friend, and had lived with him and his moods for months together.
"H H.O. here we are! Hockley Hoe no." He turned another three or four pages. "Holbeach Hollington Hollingwood Holme ah, here we have it! Holmfirth, Holme Fell, Holme Moss, HOLMNESS." He paused for a moment, scanning the page while they held their breath. Then he read aloud, yet not so as to disturb the other students "'Holmness. An Island or Islet in the Bristol Channel " "Ah!"
Dartmouth was still haggard and very pale, but his face had been shaved and he looked something like himself once more. Hollington rose and threw down his pen at once. "I will drop in on our way back and finish this letter," he said. "You must get out of the house as quickly as possible. By Jove! how bad you look!" He put his hand on his friend's shoulder and looked at him a moment.
