At last I received a summons to dinner, and had then got only half-way through my letter. Our dinner-party consisted of old Mrs Liston, her comely niece, Mrs Temple, who by the way was a widow, Eve Liston, and myself. Big Otter, unable to endure the restraints of civilisation, had gone on a hunting expedition for a few days, by way of relief!
May I ask who it is that desires to see her?" "My name is Maxby," said I, quickly, for I was becoming nervously impatient. "I am quite a stranger to Mrs Liston, but I would see her, because I bring her news news of importance in fact a message from her long-lost son."
Let him speak whose words he would, from Shakspeare to Colman, it was impossible not to feel that half the fun was his own; he had, too, in a very high degree, the power that Fawcett possessed, of drawing tears by a sudden touch of natural feeling. His comic songs might have set the gravity of the judges and bishops together at defiance. Liston is great, but Alexander Drake was greater. Mrs.
Sandy Liston held the sheet, passed once round the belaying-pin, and whenever a larger wave than usual came at them, he slacked the sheet, and the boat, losing her way, rose gently, like a cork, upon seas that had seemed about to swallow her.
"I'll give him your message." "No, sir, not now, I thank you. The villain!" "You are right," said I. "I think your mother ought to have scolded him, too." "Now you promised, sir " but Joe came up, and I escaped. It was, I believe, mainly as a compliment to me that Miss Audrey Liston was asked to Poltons.
Whether Liston replaced her nose, and she is now flanee-ing about Paris, as beautiful as before her accident; or, whether his skill was useless to her, and she is among the Soeurs de Charite, or in a convent, I cannot say: I have never seen or heard of her since." "Well, I know Liston, and I'll not forget to ask him about her the very first time that I meet him. Will you have another cigar?"
And that part, ah, how ample! had Liston seen it, he would have hid for ever his diminished opposite to head! No wonder the Corporal had been so annoyed by the parcel of the previous day, a coat so short, and a ; but no matter, pass we to the rest!
Indeed, I myself found, now that I had frequent opportunities of conversing with Eve Liston, that the man who had been affectionately styled Weeum the Good by the Indians, had stored his child's mind with much varied secular knowledge, such as Indians never possess, besides instilling into her the elevating and refining precepts of Christianity.
"Of course," she observed, looking at our young friends, who were talking nonsense at the other side of the lawn, "they must have a misunderstanding." "Why, of course," said I, lighting my pipe. "What should you say to another man?" "Or another woman?" said Miss Liston. "But it's more interesting. Do you think she'd better be a married woman?" And Miss Liston looked at me inquiringly.
Having taken my boat back to St. Francis, I put on my mask and went to Liston.
