But it is only right that I should give you confidence for confidence, Mr. Wynn; since you have suffered so much through your love for my daughter, and through the machinations of this unhappy woman who certainly impersonated her, for her own purposes." I winced at that.
The different original characters introduced in his stories, when he read them, he did not simply describe, he impersonated: otherwise to put it, for whomsoever he spoke, he spoke in character.
Perhaps that stout girl in the white Empire gown, with a baby cap on her head, and a rattler around her neck, might be Bess Robinson. But the Winter girls were both stout as stout as Bess. The Psyche knot at the back of her head, and the wreath of wild olive, certainly bespoke Belle. What had Cora done? Whom had she impersonated?
"I know my tale sounds crazy," he said, "but ... I had a telephone call just now. Hallen will bear me out that my secretary was impersonated by somebody else this afternoon." "I've told them that," said Hallen unhappily. "And something was impersonating Dillon up in the hills," finished Coburn.
Remembering the other originals, crowding the pages of the story in its integrity, how one would have liked to have seen even a few more of them impersonated by the protean Novelist! That "most wonderful woman in the world," Aunt Betsey, for example; or that most laconic of carriers, Mr. Barkis; or, to name yet one other, Uriah Heep, that reddest and most writhing of rascally attornies.
The ignorant cannot appreciate the historical fidelity and marvelous study of races which appear in such a statue as the African Sybil. We must comprehend the character of Moses before we can kindle with admiration at the dignity and majesty which Michael Angelo impersonated in his statue.
That was what I impersonated my own father with him looking on! All the others had had costumes and burnt cork and things to help them; but I had on a pink flowered organdie and pink slippers with a huge pink bow on my head, and my looks were all dead against my success. But I did succeed! I knew I would when I took my stand and looked down into Father's surprised and alarmed face.
Impenetrable mists, clouds, and darkness, impenetrable to any but the eye that seeks also the whole, involve the heaven-piercing peak of this new height of learning, this new summit of a scientific divinity, frowning off warding off, as with the sword of the cherubim, the unbidden invaders of this new Olympus, where sit the gods, restored again, the simple powers of nature, recovered from the Greek abstractions, not 'the idols' not the impersonated abstractions, the false images of the mind of man not the logical forms of those spontaneous abstractions, emptied of their poetic content but the strong gods that make our history, that compose our epics, that conspire for our tragedies, whether we own them and build altars to them or not.
A prelate publicly denounced the imposture, and an Abbe Deleon, priest in the diocess of Grenoble, printed a work called 'La Salette a Valley of Lies. In this publication it was maintained, with proofs, that the hoax was gotten up by a Mademoiselle de Lamerliere, a sort of half-crazy nun, who impersonated the character of the Virgin.
The history classes of the North School, of whose principal I have spoken, used to make a pilgrimage every year to points of interest in the city, ending with an hour in the rooms of the Historical Society in the building, where they impersonated historical characters or looked at colonial furniture and implements.
