The moment of "the crisis" arrives, and, taking refuge in "a savage solitude," in which even the sight of a male servant is hateful to her, she sets down with disconcerting lucidity all she has observed in other women, and in herself.
There were moments when Mary saw it too. But she left God out of it and called it Nature's cruelty. If it was not really Gwenda. For in flashes of extreme lucidity Mary put it down to Rowcliffe's coldness. And she had come to know that Gwenda was responsible for that. But one day in April, in the fourth year of her marriage, Mary sent for Gwenda. Rowcliffe was out on his rounds.
Assingham had ever, for dealing with, a manner to which repeated practice had given almost a grand effect; very much as if she was invited by it to say that about this, exactly, she proposed to do her best lying. But she said, and with full lucidity, something quite other: it could give itself a little the air, still, of a triumph over his coarseness.
He was letting himself at present, go; there was no denying it; it might be desperation, it might be confidence; he should offer himself to the arriving travellers bristling with all the lucidity he had cultivated.
His interminable conferences resulted in nothing, and as the benefit of the long rest made itself felt, it produced an increased mental lucidity which rendered inaction more and more unbearable.
There were recurrent periods of lucidity, followed by the terrible childishness that had been the first indication of her condition. At the end of the next week she suddenly said, in a loud voice, "I won't stay in bed!"
Then he grew burning hot, and all night was talking in troubled dreams. Once Dorothy heard him say, as if he had been talking to God face to face: "O my God, if I had but once seen Thee, I do not think I could ever have mistrusted Thee. But I could never be quite sure." The morning brought lucidity. How many dawns a morning brings! His first words were "How goes it with the child?"
To such pusillanimous propagandists of a preposterous pessimism, I answer, Mr. Speaker with all confidence, never! never!" As a rhetorical effort this is striking, though there seems a lack of lucidity about it. In the Canadian House of Commons there are a number of little pages who run errands for members, and fetch them books and papers.
Messer Simone's plan had one great merit to the mind of a foreigner denied the lucidity of our Italian intelligence it was adorably simple. I can give it to you now in a nutshell as I learned it later, not as I knew it then, for I did not know it then.
Criticism, to be effective, requires also an adequate style. In Arnold's discussion of style, much stress is laid on its basis in character, and much upon the transparent quality of true style which allows that basic character to shine through. Such words as "limpidness," "simplicity," "lucidity," are favorites. Clearness and effectiveness are the qualities that he most highly valued.
