They had passed out of the Oliver Optic, Harry Castlemon, James Otis era. Joel Wixon read for excitement; Luke Mellows for information as to the machinery of authorship. Young as they were, they went to the theatre to the op'ra house, which never housed opera. Joel went often and without price, since his father, being an editor, had the glorious prerogative of "comps."
He did not thank the foreigner for his liberal largeness, and did not answer his good night. What triumph! hark! what pain!" It was as if Luke Mellows had suddenly found expression in something better than words, something that any ear could understand, an ache that rang. Wixon stopped, transfixed as by flaming arrows.
Amy sang, in clear soprano: "'The moon looks down on old Cro' Nest, She mellows the shades on his shaggy breast, And seems his huge gray form to throw In a silver cone on the wave below." "Imagine the cone and wave, please," said Miss Hargrove; and then, in an alto rich with her heart's deep feeling, she sang with Amy: "'Ouphe and goblin! imp and sprite! Elf of eve! and starry fay!
'What we want, said Mellows, pulling off his hat, and making as if he emptied it of the last load of Disgust that had exuded from his brain, before he put it on again for another load; 'what we want, is a Branch. The Petition for the Branch Bill is in the coffee- room. Would you put your name to it? Every little helps.
There is something in the restful radiance of moonlight which mellows hearts. The poets learned this, ages since; I realized it now, as my glance fell upon the pallid face in the bow before me.

I had scarcely spoken to him during the voyage, other than to ask him of his wound.
It mellows harsh colors into beauty, and Ruskin grows eloquent over the wave-washed tint of some tarry, weather-beaten boat.
Sometimes fair Helen came to look across the plain to the fellow-countrymen whom she had forsaken; and although she was the cause of all this war, the Trojans half forgave her when she passed by, because her beauty was like a spell, and warmed hard hearts as the sunshine mellows apples.
"Tante Lydia, you know if she said 'mauve' you'd want 'pink' and 'mauve' if she said 'pink, and all you really need is somebody to argue with; and, besides, they both look the same at night." Mrs. Mellows pouted fat pink lips, and looked more than ever an elderly infant about to burst into tears. "Dorothy," she sniffed, "I do think you are the most trying child!
It is in the selection and management of these foils that one of Peacock's principal distinctions lies. In his earlier books, and in accordance with the manners of the time, there is a good deal of "high jinks" less later. In all, there is also a good deal of personal and literary satire, which tones and mellows as it proceeds.
Pursuing my researches in the Dolphin's Head, I found it sorely shrunken. When J. Mellows came into possession, he had walled off half the bar, which was now a tobacco-shop with its own entrance in the yard the once glorious yard where the postboys, whip in hand and always buttoning their waistcoats at the last moment, used to come running forth to mount and away.
