In the introduction of one of the cantos of Marmion, he has depicted his grandfather, and the fireside of the farm-house; and has given an amusing picture of himself in his boyish years: "Still with vain fondness could I trace Anew each kind familiar face, That brightened at our evening fire; From the thatched mansion's gray-haired sire, Wise without learning plain and good, And sprung of Scotland's gentler blood; Whose eye in age, quick, clear and keen.
I tell you, man sinning or not was meant to be woman's master and lover, and just as much one as the other." At this point Hungerford's manner underwent a slight change, and he continued: "Marmion, I wouldn't have come near you, only I noticed you have altered your course, and are likely to go on a fresh tack. It isn't my habit to worry a man. I gave you a signal, and you didn't respond at first.
They'd have had the world on fire years ago if they hadn't had to worry about you." "I think you must admit, Professor Marmion," said Lord Leighton, who had so far been busy with his own new thoughts and the contemplation of the inspirer of them, "that it is people like these on whom the real guilt of the crime of war rests.
Between the appearance of the Lay of the Last Minstrel and Marmion, hopes were held out to him from an influential quarter of the reversion of the office of a Principal Clerk in the Court of Session; and, Mr. Pitt, having expressed a wish to be of service to the author, of the Lay of the Last Minstrel, Sir Walter applied for the reversion.
This sight the king could not bear, and seizing the hand of Angus, exclaimed: While monarch and man embraced, while the aged noble's tears fell like rain, Marmion seized the moment to restore himself to favor with both, and whispered half aloud to the King: That a stranger should see his changing moods, and above all, should presume to tamper therewith, aroused in James the fierce spirit of revenge.
"Which means," said Mark, pulling himself up, as a man about to face a mortal enemy would do, "that the Professor has said 'No. In other words, he has decided that his learned and lovely daughter shall not, as I suppose he would put it, mate with an animal of a lower order a mere fighting-man. Well, Miss Marmion "
He put two of them on one side, saying: "Those, of course, you know; they are the Prince and Princess. This one is Count Ulik von Kessner, High Chamberlain of Boravia; this, Captain Alexis Vollmar; and this is Fraülein von Tyssen." Franklin Marmion looked at them with much more than ordinary interest, for he recognised all five as clearly as though he had just left them in his own dining-room.
The eyes of the girl opposite suddenly sparkled into laughter. "You didn't like him?" "Nobody does. He gives himself such ridiculous airs." "Does he?" said Constance. The information seemed to be of no interest to her. She asked for another cup of tea. "Oh, Falloden of Marmion?" said Dr. Hooper. "I know him quite well. One of the best pupils I have.
Now what is your pleasure, Miss Marmion? We have still nearly two hours before lunch, so, if you would like an hour's stroll ashore, the gig will be ready in a couple of minutes." "Thank you, Prince," she said with a rewarding smile. "Dad, what do you think? It all looks very beautiful under this sun and sky." "Which, of course, means that you want to go ashore, Niti," said her father.
It was the remnant of the first lasso he had ever owned. He thought more of it than of any other article he possessed, and he would have surrendered every thing, except Roderick and Marmion, before he would have parted with that piece of a rawhide rope. It had once saved his uncle's life; and, more than that, Frank himself had been hanged with it.
