Meeson would, no doubt, make a hard bargain the hardest he could; but still, if she would consent to bind herself for a sufficient number of years at a sufficiently low salary, he would probably advance her a hundred pounds, besides the hundred for the copyright of the new book. And so having made up her mind to the sacrifice, she went to bed, and, wearied out with misery, to sleep.
Meeson," answered a voice. "Can I come in?" "Yes; if you like," said Augusta, sharply, though in her heart she was really glad to see him, or, rather, to hear him, for it was too dark to see anything. It is wonderful how, under the pressure of a great calamity, we forget our quarrels and our spites, and are ready to jump at the prospect of the human companionship of our deadliest enemy.
Meeson," interrupted Lady Holmhurst at this point; "I have to go to see about the dinner," and before Augusta could interfere she had left the room. Eustace closed the door behind her, and turned, feeling instinctively that a great crisis in his fortunes had come.
Captain Abrane and Sir Meeson, in spite of the hard service he imposes on them with such comical haughtiness, incline to speak well of him, and Methuen Rivers here for two days on his way to his embassy at Vienna assured us he is the rarest of gentlemen on the point of honour of his word.
It don't look well for a man in my position to know second-class passengers, especially young lady passengers who write novels." "You need not be afraid, Mr. Meeson: I have no wish to claim your acquaintance," said Augusta.
Then the unsophisticated youth would go away, his heart too full for words, but pondering how these things were, and by-and-by he would pass into the Meeson melting-pot and learn something about it. One day King Meeson sat in his counting house counting out his money, or, at least, looking over the books of the firm.
"'Pon my word," murmured Lord Holmhurst to himself, "I don't wonder she has had enough of him. Sensible young woman, that!" Lady Holmhurst looked a little astonished and a little amused. Suddenly, however, a light broke upon her. "Oh! I see," she said. "I suppose that Mr. Meeson published 'Jemima's Vow. Of course that accounts for it. Why, I declare there is the dinner bell!
Eustace is a very excellent young man, and, if I may be allowed to say so, a very good-looking young man; but what, I would ask this assembled company, has Mr. Meeson done above the rest of men to justify his supreme good fortune?
Sir Meeson Corby had intimations of the disintegration of his country if a patent tramp burlesquing in those clothes could be permitted to amuse English ladies of high station, quite at home with them. Among the signs of England's downfall, this was decidedly one.
Woodseer, who would have done for Sir Meeson Corby or Lazarus what had been done for him, thought little of the service, but so intense a peremptoriness in the look of an eye made him uncomfortable in his own sense of independence. The humblest citizen of a free nation has that warning at some notable exhibition of tyranny in a neighbouring State: it acts like a concussion of the air.
