"At the Quatre Voies, fighting for your honour against a drove of northern oxen." "And whom hast thou brought with thee to help thee mend it?" "The fellow who knocked down the bos who gave it me, as deftly as any butcher." "Let us see him." "What name shall I give thee?" whispered Ralph. "Martin." "Martin of ?" "Martin from Kenilworth," said our bashful hero, blushing.
Another ornament of the mantel-piece was a square of silken needlework or embroidery, faded nearly white, but dimly representing that wearisome Bear and Ragged Staff, which we should hardly look twice at, only that it was wrought by the fair fingers of poor Amy Robsart, and beautifully framed in oak from Kenilworth Castle at the expense of a Mr. Conner, a countryman of our own.
Johnson's 'Lives of the Poets. I could not get the squatter to let me have 'Kenilworth, though I offered him three sheep for it. Dull old fellow, that Dr. Johnson, I suspect, so much the better, the book will last all the longer. And here's a Sydney paper, too, only two months old!" Pisistratus. "You must have ridden thirty miles at the least. To think of your turning book-hunter, Guy!"
A small village inn afforded them a resting-place, and it was with secret pleasure that Wayland saw the whole party, including Dickon, pass on, after a courteous farewell, and leave them behind. "To-morrow, madam," he said to his charge, "we will, with your leave, again start early, and reach Kenilworth before the rout which are to assemble there."
Leicester, having received this permission, retired accordingly, and was followed by those nobles who had attended the Queen to Kenilworth in person. The gentlemen who had preceded them, and were, of course, dressed for the solemnity, remained in attendance. But being most of them of rather inferior rank, they remained at an awful distance from the throne which Elizabeth occupied.
"John, John," said Mother, "is there no more then in it all our love, our lives than pride?" Pride! Will Shakespeare by now knew what it meant, and his heart went out to his father. He had felt the sting of this thing himself. It had been the year before. Dad had taken him behind him on his horse to Kenilworth, to see the masks and fireworks given by the Earl of Leicester in the Queen's honor.
In English we may class as novels works like "Kenilworth," "The Newcomes," "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Rise of Silas Lapham"; and we may class as novelettes works like "Daisy Miller," "The Treasure of Franchard," "The Light That Failed." The distinction is quantitative but not qualitative.
We visited various parts of England, Warwick, Kenilworth, Oxford, Birmingham, and Liverpool, and made acquaintance with persons whom to know was worth going far, and whom to remember has been a constant pleasure ever since. Well, we came back in August, 1843, in the steamer "Hibernia." What a joy to return home! We landed in Boston.
Appropriation is the great business of the universe. The institution of property is, on the other hand, artificial. Ibid. There is a very curious and ingenious, though not original, exhibition in this ballet. Among the festivities at Kenilworth Castle, in honour of the royal guests, a pantomimic "masque" of the gods and goddesses of Olympus is introduced.
I had often wondered why some of the old-time castles were not restored to their pristine magnificence what we should have if Kenilworth or Raglan were re-built and to their ancient glory there were added all the modern conveniences for comfort. I found in Bamborough Castle a case exactly to the point.
