Krill glanced at the curtain and thereby confirmed Hurd's suspicions of an unseen listener, "you will not mind my being, perhaps, personal." "Personal," echoed Mrs. Krill, a keen look coming into her hard eyes, and she stopped rubbing her hands together. "Well, yes," admitted Hurd, with affected reluctance. "I had to look into your past as well as into that of your husband's." Mrs.
Minta Hurd's love for the unhappy being who had brought her to this pass had been infinitely maternal. There had been a boundless pity in it, and the secret pride of a soul, which, humble and modest towards all the rest of the world, yet knew itself to be the breath and sustenance, the indispensable aid of one other soul in the universe, and gloried accordingly.
Marcella had seen it last on the night of the execution, in ghastly apparition at Minta Hurd's window, when it might have been caught by some sculptor in quest of the secrets of violent expression, fixed in clay or marble, and labelled "Revenge," or "Passion." Its passionless emptiness now filled her with pity and horror. She sat down beside the widow and took her hand. Mrs.
The situation absorbed him. Miss Boyce's friend was now in imminent danger of his neck, and Miss Boyce's thoughts must be of necessity concentrated upon his plight and that of his family. He foresaw the passion, the saeva indignatio, that she must ultimately throw the general situation being what it was into the struggle for Hurd's life.
Her thoughts carefully avoided the names both of Aldous Raeburn and of Wharton. She was about to make the tea when some one knocked at the door. It proved to be Hurd's sister, a helpless woman, with a face swollen by crying, who seemed to be afraid to come into the cottage, and afraid to go near her sister-in-law.
He rounds the corner and shuffles away, casting off thus easily the ties of acquaintanceship as the moribund do, the season of dissolution being man's supreme hour of egoism and selfishness. But he turns and calls back through the fog to the other: "I say, Goodall of Memphis! If you get there before I do, tell 'em Hurd's a-comin' too. Hurd, of T'leder, Ah-hia." Thus Goodall's tempter deserts him.
Aldous warned me of this petition he has pressed upon me, still more I am sure upon himself, all that he conceived to be your view of the case the view of those who are now moving in the matter. But with the best will in the world I cannot, and I believe that he cannot though he must speak for himself I cannot take that view. In my belief Hurd's act was murder, and deserves the penalty of murder.
Special studies of importance are: W. E. B. DuBois's Suppression of the African Slave Trade ; M. G. McDougall's Fugitive Slaves , J. C. Hurd's Law of Freedom and Bondage ; Edward McPherson's Political History of the United States ; John H. Latané's Diplomacy of the United States in Regard to Cuba, in American Historical Association Reports ; J. M. Callahan's Evolution of Seward's Mexican Policy ; Phillips's Life of Robert Toombs ; and H. White's Life of Lyman Trumbull . Of peculiar value for the spirit of the times are: Mrs.
Hurd's brown eyes shot a red flame which showed that he was excited, though he was cool enough externally. "Yes," he admitted in a careless manner, "she certainly does act the weeping widow in rather an exaggerated fashion. However, she's got the cash now or at least her daughter has, which is the same thing.
This is a curious mistake, of a kind which lesser critics have often repeated. Perhaps George III. had nothing to do with literature; but his accession immediately preceded, and may even, as the beginning of a pure English régime, have done something to produce, numerous appearances of the Romantic revival Percy's Reliques, Hurd's Essays, Macpherson's Ossian, The Castle of Otranto, and others.
