However, what I so vividly dreamt was this, since you would like to hear. It was the brightest of bright mornings at East Endelstow Church, and you and I stood by the font. Far away in the chancel Lord Luxellian was standing alone, cold and impassive, and utterly unlike his usual self: but I knew it was he. Inside the altar rail stood a strange clergyman with his book open.
Then the Luxellians crossed over and drew up under the plane-trees, just in the rear of the Swancourts. Lord Luxellian alighted, and came forward with a musical laugh. It was his attraction as a man. People liked him for those tones, and forgot that he had no talents. Acquaintances remembered Mr. Swancourt by his manner; they remembered Stephen Smith by his face, Lord Luxellian by his laugh. Mr.
Ah, that's poor Lady Luxellian, I suppose. Knight pointed to a coffin of light satin-wood, which stood on the stone sleepers in the new niche. 'And the remainder of the family are on this side. Who are those two, so snug and close together? Stephen's voice altered slightly as he replied 'That's Lady Elfride Kingsmore born Luxellian, and that is Arthur, her husband.
Lord Luxellian then told the coachman to drive on, lifted his hat, smiled a smile that missed its mark and alighted on a total stranger, who bowed in bewilderment. Lord Luxellian looked long at Elfride.
Stephen was at one end of the gallery looking towards Elfride, who stood in the midst, beginning to feel somewhat depressed by the society of Luxellian shades of cadaverous complexion fixed by Holbein, Kneller, and Lely, and seeming to gaze at and through her in a moralizing mood. The silence, which cast almost a spell upon them, was broken by the sudden opening of a door at the far end.
'And, by hook or by crook, Hedger Luxellian was made a lord, and everything went on well till some time after, when he got into a most terrible row with King Charles the Fourth. 'I can't stand Charles the Fourth. Upon my word, that's too much. 'Why? There was a George the Fourth, wasn't there? 'Certainly. 'Well, Charleses be as common as Georges. However I'll say no more about it....Ah, well!
Opposite this pair sat two little girls in white hats and blue feathers. The lady saw Elfride, smiled and bowed, and touched her husband's elbow, who turned and received Elfride's movement of recognition with a gallant elevation of his hat. Then the two children held up their arms to Elfride, and laughed gleefully. 'Who is that? 'Why, Lord Luxellian, isn't it? said Mrs.
And when I was fifteen and had been fairly educated by the school-master and more particularly by Knight I was put as a pupil in an architect's office in that town, because I was skilful in the use of the pencil. A full premium was paid by the efforts of my mother and father, rather against the wishes of Lord Luxellian, who likes my father, however, and thinks a great deal of him.
'Well, as the story is, the king came to the throne; and some years after that, away went Hedger Luxellian, knocked at the king's door, and asked if King Charles the Second was in. "No, he isn't," they said. "Then, is Charles the Third?" said Hedger Luxellian. "Yes," said a young feller standing by like a common man, only he had a crown on, "my name is Charles the Third." And
I am glad to get somebody decent to talk to, or at, in this outlandish ultima Thule. But, by the bye, I have something to say you won't go to-day? 'No; I need not, said Stephen hesitatingly. 'I am not obliged to get back before Monday morning. 'Very well, then, that brings me to what I am going to propose. This is a letter from Lord Luxellian.
