Between the publication of Marmion and that of The Lady of the Lake Scott was very busy in bookmaking and bookselling projects.
He foolishly imagined that Scott valued the plume and dagger of Marmion for Marmion's sake. Not being himself romantic, he could not understand that Scott valued the plume because it was a plume, and the dagger because it was a dagger. Like a child, he loved weapons with a manual materialistic love, as one loves the softness of fur or the coolness of marble.
"She would have been sure if you hadn't become so unexpectedly quiet after I left Marmion. You seemed to concur, to be willing to wait." "So I was, for a few weeks. But they ended yesterday. I was furious that morning, when I learned your flight, and during the week that followed I made two or three attempts to find you. Then I stopped I thought it better.
'A sail in the offing, said Herbert. 'How that solitary sail tells, Annabel! 'I feel the sea breeze, mother. Does not it remind you of Weymouth? said Venetia. 'Ah! Marmion, said Lady Annabel, 'I would that you could see Masham once more. He is the only friend that I regret. 'He prospers, Annabel; let that be our consolation: I have at least not injured him.
It had an instant effect upon Olive; she burst into tears, threw herself on her friend's bosom. "Oh, don't desert me don't desert me, or you'll kill me in torture," she moaned, shuddering. "You must help me you must help me!" cried Verena, imploringly too. Basil Ransom spent nearly a month at Marmion; in announcing this fact I am very conscious of its extraordinary character.

"But," said the Prince, who was now evidently wavering in his scepticism, since Phadrig's explanation of the mystery really seemed to be the only feasible one, impossible as it looked to him, "granted all you say, what possible interest could Professor Marmion, whether he's living in this world or the one of four dimensions, have in interfering in such a project, even if he did know all about it, especially as every educated Englishman admits that the state of affairs in Russia could hardly be worse than it is?
Marmion, be sure that neither your college nor Heaven gave you the knowledge to instruct me. . . . There: pardon me, if I speak harshly; but this is most inconsiderate of you, most impulsive and compromising. You are capable of singular contrasts. Please let us be friends, friends simply. You are too interesting for a lover, really you are."
I fear there was the slightest irritation in my voice; but, truth is, the last few days' experiences had left their mark on me, and Hungerford's speech and manner had suddenly grown trying. He stood for a moment looking at me with direct earnestness from under his strong brows, and then he stepped forward, and, laying his hand upon my arm, rejoined: "Do not be raw, Marmion.
My conclusions were right, as after events showed. As for Roscoe, I feared that if he lived he must go through life maimed.
