"One of the queens of the tribe is there, in the neighbourhood of the Macartneys the difficult rosa sulphurea it finds itself so well accommodated, that it condescends to play its part to perfection. Do you know that?" "Not at all."
Morley meets the taunts and charges of the Russells, and the Macartneys, and the Carsons, and never yet has he been beaten in one of those hand-to-hand fights. There was a curious but instructive little scene towards the end of a sitting early in March. The Tories headed by Jimmy Lowther had been obstructing in the most shameless way for a whole afternoon. Towards the end of the evening Mr.
Such is my own experience, and such was the experience of the Macartney pair and now I have done with exordial matter. The Macartneys had a dinner-party on the twelfth of January. There were to be twelve people at it, in spite of the promised assistance of Lancelot at dessert, which Lucy comforted herself by deciding would only make twelve and a half, not thirteen.
This is a romantic tale. So romantic is it that I shall be forced to pry into the coy recesses of the mind in order to exhibit a connected, reasonable affair, not only of a man and his wife prosperously seated in the mean of things, nel mezzo del cammin in space as well as time for the Macartneys belonged to the middle class, and were well on to the middle of life themselves , but of stript, quivering and winged souls tiptoe within them, tiptoe for flight into diviner spaces than any seemly bodies can afford them.
"Never mind how far I am gone, provided that I go," said Urquhart. "Oh, at this rate, I will hasten you. I can't be bothered with a cause célèbre. But what am I to tell the lady? You must be practical, my fine man." "Tell her that I was sent for in a hurry. Hint at the air if you think proper. I think I have said all that is necessary in the note." The Macartneys were expected to lunch.
Urquhart's eyes took a chill tinge a hard and pebbly stare. "I don't know what you mean," he said. "Men always say that, especially when they know very well. Of course I mean the Macartneys. You didn't suppose I was thinking of the Poplolly?" The Poplolly, I regret to say, was Francis Lingen, whom Vera abhorred. The term was opprobrious, and inexact. But Urquhart shrouded himself in ice.
"One of the queens of the tribe is there, in the neighbourhood of the Macartneys the difficult Rosa sulphurea it finds itself so well accommodated that it condescends to play its part to perfection. Do you know that?" "Not at all."
Lord Thurlow, in one of his speeches about Indian affairs, said that one Hastings was worth twenty Macartneys. He might, with equal propriety, have said ten Macartneys, or a hundred Macartneys. Nor would there have been the least inconsistency in his using all the three expressions in one speech.
What a beauty it must be!" "The ground is very happy many varieties of soil and exposure were needed for the plants of different habits, and I found or made them all. The rocky beginnings of the glen even furnished me with south walls for the little tea-roses, and the Macartneys and Musk roses, the Banksias I kept nearer home." "Do you know them all, Mr. Carleton?"
But I say, Scorn not the sentimental, though it be barley-sugar to ambrosia, a canary's flight to a skylark's. Scorn it not; it's the romantic of the unimaginative; and if it won't serve for a magic carpet, it makes a useful anti-macassar. The Macartneys saw no more of Urquhart, who, however, recovered the use of his backbone, and with it his zest for the upper air.
