"Every soul is the star of its own destiny," answered Beulah. "Well, very sorry destinies the majority make, I can tell you. Have you seen Mrs. Lockhart and Pauline?" "No. I was not aware that they were in the city." "Lockhart's health is miserable. They are all at Hartwell's for a few weeks, I believe. Pauline has grown up a perfect Di Vernon beauty." "I should like very much to see her.
Under this son, A. F. Tytler, afterwards a Lord of Session by the title of Lord Woodhouselee, Scott studied history at Edinburgh College. Lockhart's Scott, ed. 1839, i. 59, 278. See ante, i. 396, and ii. 296. 'If we know little of the ancient Highlanders, let us not fill the vacuity with Ossian.
Hartwell shook the reins, and Mazeppa sprang down the road again. Beulah had remarked a great alteration in Mr. Lockhart's appearance; he was much paler, and bore traces of recent and severe illness. His genial manner and friendly words had interested her, and, looking up at her guardian, she said timidly: "Is he ill, sir?" "He has been, and is yet quite feeble. Do you like him?"
Then came from the top of the stairs peals of merry laughter, and in came the revel rout; the king and queen with their gilt paper admirable crowns on their heads, and little coronation robes; the queen was Mrs. Lockhart's youngest child, like a dear little fairy; and the king to match.
They would say, the men of his own profession. . . he remembered the half pitying things that he himself had said when Lockhart's new waterworks burst and broke down in brickheaps and sludge, and Lockhart's spirit broke in him and he died.
In the same way an unfathered joke of Lockhart's was attributed to Sydney Smith, and the process is constantly illustrated in daily conversation. To the English reader familiar with the Iliad and Odyssey the Hymns must appear disappointing, if he come to them with an expectation of discovering merits like those of the immortal epics.
Lockhart repeated that the State was ready to try the case, and he did not think the Court ought to allow a month's further time. He said that Mr. Crawford, upon a former occasion, had agreed that a month was sufficient in which to prepare the case. It was therefore Mr. Lockhart's opinion that two weeks further continuance was as much as Mr. Crawford could look for.
"That remark does not suggest your usual acumen. The American was preparing the ground for Van Sneck to purchase with a view to a subsequent exchange. You have not fully grasped the vileness of this plot yet. I went to Lockhart's and succeeded in discovering that the purchaser of the returned case was a tall American, quite of the pattern I expected.
Hope's brother-in-law and sister, Lord and Lady Henry Kerr, were received into the Catholic Church. They ultimately settled near Abbotsford, at Huntley-Burn, a name familiar to all who have read Lockhart's 'Life of Scott, which afforded more frequent opportunities for the intimate and affectionate intercourse which existed between the families. Mr.
In consequence of Lockhart's censures, or in deference to the maturer taste of the poet, The Miller's Daughter was greatly altered before 1842. It is one of the earliest, if not the very earliest, of Tennyson's domestic English idylls, poems with conspicuous beauties, but not without sacrifices to that Muse of the home affections on whom Sir Barnes Newcome delivered his famous lecture.
