To go to her and fetch her home to him, and say to her that all that was past should be as a dream, a sad and ugly dream, but one to which no reality was attached, never occurred to him. He must still be the master, and, in order that his masterdom might be assured, full and abject confession must be made.
She thoroughly and honestly wished that he might be the master; and though she feared that he might find himself mistaken in his assumption, she herself was not disposed to deny any appearance of right that he might take upon himself in that respect. But she had already begun to tell herself that she must not submit herself to his masterdom.
But when that voice was heard aloud along the corridors of the palace, and when he was summoned imperiously by the woman, calling for the bishop, so that all Barchester heard it, and when he was compelled to creep forth from his study, at the sound of that summons, with distressed face, and shaking hands, and short hurrying steps, a being to be pitied even by a deacon, not venturing to assume an air of masterdom should he chance to meet a housemaid on the stairs, then, at such moments as that, he would feel that any submission was better than the misery which he suffered.
Lady Macbeth: "O, never Shall sun that morrow see! . . . . . . . . . . . . He that's coming Must be provided for; and you shall put This night's great business into my despatch; Which shall to all our nights and days to come Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom." It may be seen that the really cruel one is here first Lady Macbeth and not her husband.
We may look almost in vain through old masterdom and through the examples of the golden age of portraiture in England, discovering but few successes of such combination in the works of Gainsborough, Reynolds and others. The foreplacement of one figure over another does not always mean prominence for it. Light, as an element, is stronger than place.
Another class now wellnigh unknown are misproud, misdread, mappery, mansionry, marybuds, masterdom, mistership, mistressship.
Richard, again, was under the quickening masterdom of a well-stored, active mind, a strong will, a judgment that sought to keep its balance even, and whose descended scale never rebounded, a conscience which, through all the mists of human judgment, eyed ever the blotted glimmer of some light beyond; and all these elements of power were gathered in his own father, in whom the customary sternness of the puritan parent had at length blossomed in confidence, a phase of love which, to such a mind as Richard's, was even more enchanting than tenderness.
He could see how it was with her; and though he was determined to be master, he hardly knew how he was to make good his masterdom. "You had better listen to me," he said. "Not to-night. I am too ill, too thoroughly wretched. Anything you have got to say of course I will listen to, but not now." Then she walked to the door. "Mary!" She paused with her hand on the lock.
Tell me honestly, has any one spoken evil of me behind my back?" Mrs Dale had been prepared for opposition and for reproach; but there was a decision about the squire's words, and an air of masterdom in his manner, which made her recognise more fully than she had yet done the difficulty of her position. She almost began to fear that she would lack power to carry out her purpose.
But with Miss Todd there need be no secrecy, no drawback, no delay no drawback but that of doubtful reception; and after reception, of doubtful masterdom. On thorough review of all the circumstances, much balancing them in his high mind, Sir Lionel at last thus resolved. He would throw himself, his heart, and his fortune at the feet of Miss Todd.
