I haven't got over it yet, and as for Hugh, I have never seen him so moved since since Robert died." Manvers was aware of Mrs. Flaxman's affection for her brother-in-law's memory; and it seemed to him natural and womanly that she should be touched artist and wordling though she was by this fresh effort in a similar direction.
There has scarcely ever been a German opera company in New York whose repertory did not include "Fidelio," but the only performances for many years after it came were in English. A company of singers brought from England by Miss Inverarity to the Park Theatre produced it first on September 19, 1839. The parts were distributed as follows: Leonore, Mrs. Manvers; Pizarro, Mr. Giubilei; and Rocco, Mr.
I assure you, Hugh is thrilled." Manvers laid the finger-tips of two long brown hands lightly against each other. "Very sorry but it leaves me quite cold. Heresy in the Church of England comes to nothing. Our heretics are never violent enough. They forget the excellent text about the Kingdom of Heaven! Now the heretics in the Church of Rome are violent.
Flaxman, transformed at once into the courteous hostess, greeted the newcomers with her sweetest smiles, set the deaf daughter down on the hearing side of Mr. Manvers, ordered tea, and herself took charge of Mr. Barron. The task was not apparently a heavy one. Mrs.
"With me, with me!" exclaimed Lord Manvers, bounding forward to join the group. "She promised three months ago to dance with me." "And how often have I not performed that promise, Master Charlie?" replied Ellen, laughing, "even more often with you than with Allan, so I must give him the preference first."
Barron was all the while angrily conscious of the conversation going on between the Rector and Manvers. There seemed to be something personally offensive and humiliating to himself in the knowledge displayed by these two men men who had deserted or were now betraying the Church of the literature of Anglican apologetics, and of the thought of the great Anglican bishop.
He stood motionless therefore in his place, a handsome, impressive figure, while Meynell paid his respects to Mrs. Flaxman, whose quick colour betrayed a moment's nervousness. "How are you, Barron?" said the Rector from a distance with a friendly nod. Then, as he turned to Manvers, his face lit up. "I am glad to make your acquaintance!" he said cordially.
A short time sufficed to restore all to comparative composure, but a longer interval was required for Charles Manvers, whom we must now term Lord Delmont, to ask and to answer the innumerable questions which were naturally called forth by his unexpected return; much had he to hear and much to tell, even leaving, as he said he would, the history of his adventures in Algiers to amuse two or three winter evenings, when all his family were around him.
"Yes, mother," returned the little girl, "but I stopped just a minute to speak to Sarah Randall, and I know our school-clock must be wrong, for it was half-past nine by it when I went in." Mrs. Manvers took the trouble to walk around to the school and compare her watch with the clock; they agreed exactly, and thus she found her daughter had wasted half an hour that morning.
May there not be too much as well as too little?" And with an astonishing command of ecclesiastical detail Manvers gave an account gently ironic here and there of some neo-Catholic functions of which he had lately been a witness. Barron fidgeted. "Deplorable, I admit quite deplorable! I would put that kind of thing down, just as firmly as the other." Manvers smiled.
