He has not a haunting type not he and I think that no one has yet discovered how he would have liked his pretty girls to look. He has kept the soft conception too much to himself he has not trifled with the common truth by letting it appear. This common truth, in its innumerable combinations, is what Mr. Keene's. These things with him, however, are not a private predilection, an artist's dream.
When I ranged up by Keene's side soon afterward, he looked up at me absently. I had escaped with hardly a scratch; but I saw an ugly cut above his knee, and blood stealing down his bridle-arm. 'Bah! it's nothing, Royston observed, answering the direction of my eyes; 'but if the tulwar and the reprimand had both been sharper confess, Hal, that this time, Le jeu valait bien la chandelle?
It was in the fall of 1857, I think, going in with a party of friends, one night, to Laura Keene's, that one of the ladies of the party was rudely jostled by a large man, who caught his foot in the matting of the vestibule and fell against her with such violence as nearly to throw her to the floor.
For one moment, there returned to Keene's disciplined face a good, natural expression, which had been a stranger there since the days of his hot youth; when he first went forth to buckle with the world frank, and honest, and fearless; his voice, too, had softened almost to tenderness. "Old friend, the time has come to say good-by.
"Reuben Pitman, master, 50, single, Main Street, City. "Emil Olsen, 19, single, 329 Hammond Street, City. Denmark. "Oscar Standberg, single, 25. Sweden. "Carl Stanberg, single, 28, Main Street. City. "Pedro, supposed Madeira, single, Keene's boardinghouse. City. "Joseph Welsh, alias Joseph Wright, 30, St. John's, Newfoundland." "No Augusty, Maine," a voice cried from the body of the hall.
Keene's first wife died after the second apparition. Either it was the fancy of an ailing man, or perhaps the general report, but he notes that the spectre was bewailing its woes along the banks of Bogue Holauba when Jasper Keene himself was stricken by an illness which from the first he felt was fatal." "I remember I remember it was said at the time," Geraldine barely whispered.
"That's so," exclaimed Brace, eager to share Miss Keene's sentiments; "and he's so good to those outlandish niggers in the crew. I don't see how the captain could get on with the crew without him; he's the only one who can talk their gibberish and keep them quiet. I've seen him myself quietly drop down among them when they were wrangling.
Keene's subtleties were not very intelligible to him, but, even with a shrewd suspicion that he was being humbugged, he could not resist a sense of pleasure in hearing himself classed with the superior men whose actions are not to be explained by the vulgar. Nay, he asked himself whether the defence was not in fact a just one. After all, was it not possible that his conduct had been praiseworthy?
Summer reddened into autumn; autumn bronzed into fall. The maples and poplars were bare. The oaks alone kept their rusted crimson glory, and the cloaks of spruce and hemlock on the shoulders of the hills grew dark with wintry foliage. Keene's transitions of mood became more frequent and more extreme.
Keene's gay young days, running wild in his vacation from college on a secluded plantation, he often lacked congenial companionship, and he fell in with an uncouth fellow of a lower social grade, who led him into much detrimental adventure.
