Hartwig at Dorpat on August 31; but it was found to have been already seen, on the 19th, by Mr. Isaac W. Ward of Belfast, and on the 17th by M. Ludovic Gully of Rouen. The negative observations, on the 16th, of Tempel and Max Wolf, limited very narrowly the epoch of the apparition. Nevertheless, it did not, like most temporaries, attain its maximum brightness all at once.
Ludovic SPEED! Was there ever such a misfit of a name? Such a name for such a man is a delusion and a snare." Presently Ludovic got to the house, but stood so long on the doorstep in a brown study, gazing into the tangled green boskage of the cherry orchard, that Theodora finally went and opened the door before he knocked.
"And what is the young man's name, my dear? It all depends on his name and character, and whether he has means to support a wife." "His name is Ludovic Valcarm," said Linda, whispering the words very low. The old man jumped from his seat with an alacrity that Linda had certainly not expected. "Ludovic Valcarm!" he said; "why, my dear, the man is in prison this moment.
Octave was in excellent spirits, and by one o'clock we were in a thick cover not far from Bevron. I and Ludovic were a few yards in front of the others, when angry voices behind attracted our attention. Octave and Montlouis were arguing violently, and all at once the Count struck his future steward a violent blow. In another moment Montlouis came up to me.
"There's something wrong," said Sir George. "Mamma does fret herself so much about Ludovic's money matters," said Lady Meredith. Ludovic was Lord Lufton, Ludovic Lufton, Baron Lufton of Lufton, in the county of Oxfordshire. "And yet I don't think Lufton gets much astray," said Sir George, as he sauntered out of the room.
Ludovic rather likes a third person around, and so do I. It spurs up the conversation as it were. When a man has been coming to see you straight along, twice a week for fifteen years, you get rather talked out by spells." Theodora never pretended to bashfulness where Ludovic was concerned. She was not at all shy of referring to him and his dilatory courtship. Indeed, it seemed to amuse her.
It will be easier to him in that way, than if you were to be altogether silent." No further conversation took place between them at the time, but later in the evening she brushed her hand across her son's forehead, sweeping the long silken hairs into their place, as she was wont to do when moved by any special feeling of love. "Ludovic," she said, "no one, I think, has so good a heart as you.
No one else in Middle Grafton had such a tall, gently-stooping, placidly-moving figure. In every kink and turn of it there was an individuality all Ludovic's own. Anne roused herself from her dreams, thinking it would only be tactful to take her departure. Ludovic was courting Theodora.
In the confusion of her mind, and in the state to which she had been reduced, there was no idea left with her that it might yet be possible that she would become the wife of Ludovic Valcarm, and live as such the life of a respectable woman.
"And the archdeacon could not subscribe his ten-pound note without having Mr Champion to back him?" "My dear Ludovic, you do put it in such a way." "Never mind, mother. I've no special dislike to Champion, only as you are not paid five thousand pound a year for your trouble, it is rather hard that you should have to do all the work of opposition bishop in the diocese."
