Senator Hoar, with a generous nature made thrice generous by the mellowness of years, speaking of the man he hugely liked, tempered the truth to a more than paternal mildness. But it is the truth. Matthew Arnold, to put it bluntly, was wrong-headed in his judgment of America and Americans to a degree which one living long in the United States only comes slowly and reluctantly to understand.
His feelings to Camilla, so sudden in their growth so ripened and so favoured by the Sub-Ruler of the world CIRCUMSTANCE might not, perhaps, have the depth and the calm completeness of that, One True Love, of which there are many counterfeits, and which in Man, at least, possibly requires the touch and mellowness, if not of time, at least of many memories of perfect and tried conviction of the faith, the worth, the value and the beauty of the heart to which it clings; but those feelings were, nevertheless, strong, ardent, and intense.
"Forgotten you? Yes, if forgetting Is thinking all the day How the long days pass without you. Days seem years with you away!" Pearl's voice had a reedy mellowness, and an appeal which sent the words straight into Mary's practical heart. Mary, washing dishes below, stopped, with a saucer in her hand, and listened open-mouthed:
Most of the characters of the French stage resemble the waxen gentlemen and ladies in the window of a perfumer, rouged, curled, and bedizened, but fixed in such stiff attitudes, and staring with eyes expressive of such utter unmeaningness, that they cannot produce an illusion for a single moment. In the English plays alone is to be found the warmth, the mellowness, and the reality of painting.
A carriage was provided, and the two drove up the main thoroughfare, Calle Real. The little city was appointed and its streets named by the Spanish. Parts of it were very old, and Bedient liked the setting, which was new to him the native courtesy and the mellowness of architecture which that old race of conquerors has left in so many isles of the Western sea.
"What is it, dear?" she asked, with an indescribable mellowness of voice, whose tone thrilled me with a fresh and passionate pity. "I thought I heard Mr. Allison come in, but he always knocks; besides, it is not time for him yet." And she sighed.
His work must lack the imaginative range, the mellowness, the beauty which cannot take form through instinct alone, which cannot be expressed by those who have not lovingly studied the models of antiquity and our own literature, who have not sought contact with the life of other times as well as with the life of to-day.
It was all shabby and dusty and untidy; but to Quinby Graham, standing on the hearth-rug and trying to handle his small coffee-cup as if he were used to it, the room was completely satisfying. There was a cozy warmth and mellowness about it, a kindly atmosphere of fellowship, a sense of intimate human relations, that brought a lump into his throat.
Tom Slater made a congratulatory speech in reality, a mournful adjuration to avoid the pitfalls of matrimonial inharmony and openly confessed that his digestion was now impaired beyond relief. Others followed him; there was music, laughter, a riotous popping of corks; and over it all O'Neil presided with grace and mellowness.
So why should strangers spare her?" "Go on," he said hoarsely, "let me hear it all." She was standing in front of him now, and her eyes were driving the truth deep into his soul. Something about her eyes, or her voice with its rich mellowness, caused him to start and exclaim. "Who are you, girl tell me, who you are I have heard your voice somewhere! My God! was it you? was it you?"
