"And now," said Mr. Phoebus, "about your people and your baggage?" "I have neither servants nor clothes," said Lothair, "and, if it had not been for these good people, I should not have had food."
Oliver Twist, the Last Days of Pompeii, Vanity Fair, Jane Eyre, have more readers than ever. And I find the Last Chronicle of Barset, Lothair, and Silas Marner as fresh as they were a quarter of a century ago. We all admit that there are delightful writers still. I am not about to decry our living romancers, and certainly not to criticise them.
He had already divided the great heritage left him by Charlemagne between his three sons Lothair, Pepin, and Louis; but now he wished to make another division into four parts, to make room for, and to give a kingdom to, his son Charles by his second wife. The three elder sons revolt against their father, and his last years are spent in vain attempts to reconcile his quarrelsome children.
I hear footsteps. This way, dear friends. Hist! a shout! Fly! fly! Lord Branchimont, we are betrayed! And indeed from all quarters simultaneous sounds now rose, and torches seemed suddenly to wave in all quarters. Imogene clung to the neck of Lothair. 'We will die together! she exclaimed, as she hid her face in his breast.
Lothair could not refrain from expressing how pleased he was with Belmont. "I am glad you approve of our hired home," said Theodora; "I think we were fortunate in finding one that suits our tastes and habits. We love pictures and statues and trees and flowers, and yet we love our friends, and our friends are people who live in cities."
But he was not left to himself. He was left with her injunctions, and the spirit of the oracle, though the divinity was no longer visible, pervaded his mind and life. Lothair was to accompany the general as one of his aides-de-camp, and he was to meet Theodora again on what was contemplated as the field of memorable actions.
I never felt the feeling so strongly, or was so little able to excuse it, as when a portion of the reading public received Lothair with satisfaction. Literary criticism in the present day has become a profession, but it has ceased to be an art.
Giles, you see, does not like servants and horses to be used on Sundays and no more do I and on weekdays he is too much engaged or too tired to come out this distance; so you see " The singing had ceased, and Theodora approached them. Addressing Lothair, she said: "The Princess of Tivoli wishes that you should be presented to her."
I had rather they were sent to the aviary, Grace, if it were all the same." "I should so like to see the aviary," said Lothair. "Well, we will go." And this rather extended their walk, and withdrew them more from the great amusement of the day. "I wish your grace would do me a great favor," said Lothair, abruptly breaking a rather prolonged silence. "And what is that?" said the duchess.
They were in one of the harbors of Malta, but not permitted to land at midnight, and, when the morn arrived, the obstacles to the release of Lothair were not easily removed. A speronaro, an open boat from Sicily, of course with no papers to prove their point of departure here were materials for doubt and difficulty, of which the petty officers of the port knew how to avail themselves.
