An evening or two later Dick Benyon took her in to dinner. Entirely in concession to him for the subject had passed from her own thoughts she asked, "Well, how's your genius going on?" Before the meal was over she regretted her question. It opened the doors to Dick's confused eloquence and vague laudations of his protégé; putting Dick on his defence, it involved an infinite discussion of Quisanté.
He believed himself to have renewed the days of the preaching of the Apostles, and attributed to himself all the honour. The bishops wrote panegyrics of him, the Jesuits made the pulpit resound with his praises. All France was filled with horror and confusion; and yet there never was so much triumph and joy never such profusion of laudations!
At his own eager request, after reading the manuscript specimens I had left with Leigh Hunt, I had introduced their author to him; and for some time subsequently I had frequent opportunities of seeing them together, and can testify to the laudations that Haydon trowelled on to the young poet.
Here the holy verses, the heavenly odes and laudations are intoned, and the heart is quickened, and carried away from itself.
It'll be in all the papers all over the blessed world. Think of it! Torches! Fireworks from the cranes!... But I won't change the day neither for Miss April nor anybody else." Mr. Marrier dissolved in laudations. "Well," Edward Henry agreed with false diffidence. "It'll knock spots off some of 'em in this town!" He felt that he had snatched victory out of defeat.
The remainder of the evening was spent in laudation of Clare Day, and in writing a letter to Herbert Greyson, at West Point, in which all these laudations were reiterated, and in the course of which Traverse wrote these innocent words: "I have known Clare Day scarcely twelve hours, and I admire her as much as I love you! and oh, Herbert!
The rest of the biography of this extraordinary man is a miserable diary of indignant lamentations over his abject condition of impudent laudations of the blameless integrity of his career of grovelling and ineffectual efforts and supplications to appease and eradicate the hatred of Philip and of vociferous cries for relief from penury and famine.
Those who had enrolled and made spectacular sacrifices of homes and careers and limbs and lives were enjoying a glorious game amid the laudations of an ecstatic populace, but the real work was being done in the shops and in the workrooms. The mere aspect of tradesmen was enough to restore the lost modesty of officers. Useless to argue with the tradesmen, to expostulate, to vituperate.
Few could imagine from his modest exterior the latent, fire and energy which burn in his bosom. His manner is as unassuming as his mind is noble; quiet, yet impervious to flattery or laudations, he seems at the same time to pay due regard to popular opinion, without in the least permitting it to influence him in the discharge of his duties.
Such laudations, and a hundred more, the children sang of him to their elders. "Oh," cried one little four-year-old girl, voicing the unanimous feeling of the children, "Mister Peter is just shplendid." So the elders nodded and smiled when they met him, and he was pretty well known to several hundred people whom he knew not. But another year passed, and still no client came.
