But Kingsley was one of those darlings perhaps the rarest of the Muses to whom they grant the gift not only of doing a little poetry exquisitely, but the further gift of abstaining from doing anything ill; and he seems to have recognised almost at once that "the other harmony," that of prose, was the one meant for him to do his day's work in.
When I spoke, I felt a choking difficulty in my utterance which compelled me to speak loud to be understood, and which yet left my speech thick, husky, and unnatural. "Say no more, Kingsley. What you have said disturbs me Nay, I acknowledge, I have been disturbed before. Perhaps, indeed, I know more than yourself. Time will show. At all events, be sure of one thing.
Ismail would probably get into a rage pretended, of course and send an army against him. Kingsley would make a fight for it, and lose his head all in the interest of a sudden sense of duty on the part of the Khedive. All Europe would applaud all save England, and what could she do? Can she defend slavery?
"It is Miss Conway," he said to Kingsley, taking her hand familiarly and holding it until she withdrew it with a conscious touch of embarrassment. "She is one of my neighbors, and, by the way, Kingsley, she must have the best place in the mill." Kingsley continued to look sillily at her. He had not heard of Helen he did not understand. "A place in the mill ah, let me see," he said thoughtfully.
"Fields and hedges, hedges and fields; peace and plenty, plenty and peace. I should like to take a foreigner down the vale of Berkshire in the end of May, and ask him what he thought of old England." Thus wrote Charles Kingsley forty years ago, when times were better for Berkshire farmers.
After all, he's used to primitive fare." Donovan Pasha was drawing an imaginary picture, and drawing it with effect. He almost believed it as his artist's mind fashioned it. She believed it, and it tried her. Kingsley Bey was a criminal, of course, but he was an old friend; he had offended her deeply also, but that was no reason why he should be punished by any one save herself.
This is everywhere the world's most subtle enemy. Even if selfishness or envy has been the motive, the fact remains that they have often kindled that discontent with the past which Charles Kingsley preached as necessary to all progress.
I am not a jealous man; but it becomes necessary when one's neighbors find occasion to look into one's business, to look a little into it one's self." "One must not wait for that," said Kingsley; "but where is your cigar?" The question confused me. I had dropped it in the agitation of my feelings, without being conscious of its loss.
Kingsley assumed the final direction of these affairs; and having seen everything in a fair way for the funeral, which was appointed to take place the next morning, he hurried me away to his lodging-house. When within his chamber, he carefully fastened the door and placed a packet in my hands. "This is addressed to you," he said.
"Leoline, beware of Count L'Estrange, and become Lady Kingsley as soon as you can." "I will hear that name to-morrow!" thought Leoline, with a glad little thrill at her heart, as La Masque flitted out into the moonlight. Leoline closed and locked the door, driving the bolts into their sockets, and making all secure.
