Nay, look not on me so wistfully," added Maltravers, with a mournful smile; "and let the subject close for the present. You will stay at Dover?" "I will; but " "No buts, Legard; it is so settled." "Man is born to be a doer of good." MARCUS ANTONINUS, lib. iii. His teeth he still did grind, And grimly gnash, threatening revenge in vain. IT is now time to return to Lord Vargrave.
"I repine not; I am more than satisfied. Still let me preserve my privilege of guardian, of adviser, a privilege dearer to me than all the wealth of the Indies!" Lord Vargrave had some faint suspicion that Legard had created an undue interest in Evelyn's heart; and on this point he delicately and indirectly sought to sound her.
But still it may be doubted whether Evelyn had seen enough of Legard, and whether her fancy and romance were still sufficiently free from the magical influences of the genius that called them forth in the eloquent homage of Maltravers, to trace, herself, to any causes connected with her younger lover the listless melancholy that crept over her.
With that hope and that belief, I am on my road to Paris." "And she will be yours, still?" said Legard, turning away his face: "well, that I can bear. May you be happy, sir!" "Stay, Legard," said Maltravers, in a voice of great feeling: "let us understand each other better; you have renounced your passion to your sense of honour." Maltravers paused thoughtfully.
Poor thing! she had better have fallen in love with Legard, which I dare say she will do, after all. Well, good-night!" PASSION, as frequently is seen, Subsiding, settles into spleen; Hence, as the plague of happy life, I ran away from party strife. Here nymphs from hollow oaks relate The dark decrees and will of fate. Ibid.
They had noticed everything that doesn't matter about the high and holy ones how they looked, spoke, dressed, behaved. It was awfully clever, some of it; one of the women imitated Legard the essayist down to the ground the way he pontificates, you know but nothing else.
And you think, also pardon me, dear Legard that you could have acquired the steadiness of character, the firmness of purpose, which one so fair, so young, so inexperienced and susceptible, so surrounded by a thousand temptations, would need in a guardian and protector?" "Oh, do not judge of me by what I have been.
But Evelyn I could despise her if her heart was the fool of the eye!" These comments were most unjust to Legard; but they were just of that kind of injustice which the man of talent often commits against the man of external advantages, and which the latter still more often retaliates on the man of talent. As Maltravers thus soliloquized, he was accosted by Mr. Cleveland.
"The more the season for balls advances, the more indolent you become." Legard muttered a confused reply, one half of which seemed petulant, while the other half was inaudible. "Not so indolent as you suppose," said his friend. "Legard meditates an excursion sufficient, I hope, to redeem his character in your eyes. It is a long journey, and, what is worse, a very cold journey, to Vienna."
From this night, whatever happens, I shall hold it an honour to be admitted to your friendship; from this night, George Legard never shall find in me the offences of arrogance and harshness." Legard wrung the hand held out to him warmly, but made no answer; his heart was full, and he would not trust himself to speak.
