He must, in any case, have fallen in love; in any case, his love would have ruled his life; and the question of choice was, for the descendant of two such families, a thing of paramount importance. Innocent of the world, fiery, generous, devoted as he was, the son of the wild Jacksons and the facile Jenkins might have been led far astray.
She was nearly connected with the venerable Minister of Andover, Francis Dane, and belonged to the family of Jacksons. There was, and is, among the papers, a large body of evidence in her favor, most weighty and decisive, yet Mather makes no allusion to it whatever; although he must have known of it, from outside information as well as the documents before him.
"This is an awkward business, Harold," Harvey said as, in the midst of their captors, they galloped off from the Jacksons'. "Of course it's all nonsense about our being hung. Still, I have no wish to see the inside of a prison, where we may pass years before we are exchanged.
They may talk of their Jeffersons and Jacksons, but I set down Washington and Natty Bumppo as the two only really great men of my time." "What do you think of Bonaparte, commodore?" inquired Paul. "Well, sir, Bonaparte had some strong points about him, I do really believe. But he could have been nothing to the Leather-stocking, in the woods!
"Master Joe's come down with the Club," said Saunders. "Joe! Has he really? How ripping! Hullo, here he is. Hullo, Joe?" The greatest of all the Jacksons was descending the pavilion steps with the gravity befitting an All England batsman. He stopped short, as Saunders had done. "Mike! You aren't playing!" "Yes." "Well, I'm hanged! Young marvel, isn't he, Saunders?" "He is, sir," said Saunders.
It seemed to Mike, when he got home, that there was a touch of gloom in the air. His sisters were as glad to see him as ever. There was a good deal of rejoicing going on among the female Jacksons because Joe had scored his first double century in first-class cricket.
For her, marriage proved a cruel and bitter disillusionment, for no woman can ever rival that deadly mistress, morphia. The night before Sylvia's elopement, Desmond O'Connor had dined with the Jacksons. Mr. Jackson had hoped to displace Custance with the handsome young fellow whom he loved, and Sylvia had made use of Desmond to conceal her infatuation for the artist.
At all events, she was the only human being on earth who ever possessed the power to swerve his mighty will or soothe his fierce temper." Shortly before their departure the Jacksons were guests of honor at a grand ball at the Academy. The upper floor was arranged for dancing and the lower for supper, and the entire building was aglow with flowers, colored lamps, and transparencies.
Yet it would be an error to regard this marriage as unfortunate. The Kentish-Welsh family, facile, extravagant, generous to a fault and far from brilliant, had given the father, an extreme example of its humble virtues. On the other side, the wild, cruel, proud, and somewhat blackguard stock of the Scotch Campbell- Jacksons, had put forth, in the person of the mother all its force and courage.
"Not exactly like that; but we are going on a picnic." "Oh! oh! a picnic! Tell us, mamma. Who is going? Are we children to go?" "Yes. You children, Mrs. Hardy and Rock, the Spears, the Neals, and the Jacksons. Mr. Atkinson, too, I think." "Which Jacksons?" "Mr. David Jackson's family. Mr. Atkinson is not sure of being here, but he hopes to be able to get off." "Oh, good! Tell us some more, mamma."
