"That was my first race-horse," said Cæsar. "Her name was Loadstar. She didn't win much, but I thought a lot of her. And that oh, that's a mastiff I had: he was magnificent, but such a brute I had to kill him. He went for one of the stable boys and I hardly got him off in time. I've got the marks now of his claws: he never bit me. We used to wrestle together." "Wrestle with a dog?"
Now chemistry holds in solution the elements and secrets of creation; now electricity would seem to be the veil which hangs before the soul; now the magnetic needle, true to the loadstar, trembles on the sea, to make the mariner brave and the haven sure. We have by no means exhausted the wonders that have accumulated upon man, in being accumulated by man. Their enumeration would be almost endless.
He was a plain little man, a fat little man, a middle-aged little man, but they recognised in him the spirit of abiding youth, and recognising, felt their hearts warm towards him. "He is nice, Ron, after all! I like him!" "So do I. A capital chap. But he can't possibly be Elgood of the Loadstar."
All his actions were regular as clockwork, and the holy presence of God was the loadstar of his soul. One day I was complaining to him of the too great deference which he paid me. "And for how much then do you," he answered, "account Jesus Christ, whom I honour in your person?" "Oh!" I replied, "if you take that ground, you ought to speak to me on your knees!"
The accent of bewilderment was unmistakably genuine, and Margot hastened to explain still further. "The new number of the Loadstar with Ron's poem in it!" "Ron's poem!" The note of bewilderment was accentuated to one of positive incredulity. "A poem by your brother in the Loadstar! I did not know that he wrote at all." Now it was Margot's turn to stare and frown. "You didn't know!
Herr Tannhauser still moved on, his plodding steed rendering him distinctly visible yet. Could she have heard Fitzpiers's voice at that moment she would have found him murmuring "...Towards the loadstar of my one desire I flitted, even as a dizzy moth in the owlet light." But he was a silent spectacle to her now.
"My dear boy, if it had been Southend it would have been all the same. We are going where Mr Elgood goes, for Mr Elgood, you must know, is the editor of The Loadstar the man of all others who could give you a helping hand. Now, Ron, I am quite prepared for you to be shocked, but I know that you will agree in the end, so please give in as quickly as possible, and don't make a fuss.
She knew that at some time or other during the day she would see him; he never tired of admiring her beauty. Blameworthy was the sad mother with her stern doctrines, blameworthy the proud, neglectful father, that she knew not how wrong all this was. He loved her; in a thousand eloquent ways he told her so. She was his loadstar, beautiful and peerless.
The letters and parcel lay unnoticed on the table until the conclusion of the meal, but as Margot picked them up preparatory to carrying them upstairs to her own room, she gave a sudden start of astonishment. "Ron, it's the Loadstar! Some one has sent me a copy of the Loadstar. From the office, I think, for the name is printed on the cover. Who could it be?" Lazy beggar!
Heart-broken as I am, I should desire to carry away one memory at least of her whose love was the loadstar of my existence. 'I want my letters, Cecil, said she coldly. 'So that you came down here with mine, prepared for this rupture, Maude? It was all prearranged in your mind. 'More discretion more discretion, or good taste which is it?
