Richard, or rather Dicky Suett for so in his life-time he delighted to be called, and time hath ratified the appellation lieth buried on the north side of the cemetery of Holy Paul, to whose service his nonage and tender years were dedicated. There are who do yet remember him at that period his pipe clear and harmonious. He would often speak of his chorister days, when he was "cherub Dicky."
"When you are living intensely you don't look at the world through wide-open eyes," said Maurice. "I never let myself go before. Repression has been the law of my life. Think of it! In a long life-time I have loved but two persons the woman I told you of, and you. Twenty years ago I found out what life meant. For the first time, I knew! But I was already married.
There was one man, he said, engaged in that trade who had been silly enough to make two hundred clocks in one year, and he added that it would take the foolish man a life-time to sell them, or if they went off quickly, the market would be so glutted that no dealer would have need to increase his stock for years to come.
But it was summer now, the month of roses, and fragrance, and beauty, and as the carriage passed up the broad, smooth avenue which led to the house, Dolly's eyes wandered over the well-kept lawn, sweet with the scent of newly-mown grass, the parteries of flowers and shrubs, the winding walks and clumps of evergreens here and there formed into fancy rooms, with rustic seats and tables under the over-hanging boughs; and when she reflected that all this was hers to enjoy for many years, and perhaps for her life-time, she felt the first stirring of that pride, and satisfaction, and self-assertion which was to grow upon her so rapidly and transform her from the plain, unpretentious woman who had washed, and ironed, and baked, and mended in the small house in Langley into the arrogant, haughty lady of fashion, who courted only the rich and looked down upon her less fortunate neighbors.
And yet God knows! they may need more pity than we dream of! But let me to my task. I, Fabio Romani, lately deceased, am about to chronicle the events of one short year a year in which was compressed the agony of a long and tortured life-time! One little year! one sharp thrust from the dagger of Time!
Oh, if he could but indulge in one moment of happiness could clasp her in his arms but a single moment, and kiss those trembling lips just once, he would be willing to pay for it by a whole life-time of sorrow, he told himself.

He would have looked like a resuscitated corpse, only for a pair of burning black eyes." "Quite a startling apparition! Melodramatic in the extreme! And this singular being what was he?
