Robert Buchanan said in one of his essays: "I can advance no scientific knowledge for seeing a great genius in Robert Browning, or a fine painstaking talent in George Eliot, for thinking George Meredith almost alone in his power of expressing personal passion, and Walt Whitman supreme in his power of conveying moral stimulation.
I need not suggest discretion as to this letter. Your affectionate friend, Jack Meredith read this letter in the coffee-room of the Hotel of the Four Seasons at Wiesbaden.
That was a week of delicious happiness, and the rector had lived it over many times, wondering if, when the next Christmas came, it would find him any nearer to Anna Ruthven than the last had left him. "It must," he suddenly exclaimed. "The matter shall be settled before she leaves Hanover with this Mrs. Meredith. My claim is superior to Thornton's, and he shall not take her from me.
Last night Miss Meredith had given the invitations, and the School, you may be sure, would "accept with pleasure." Form Five A held a meeting at recess time. They must get Miss Ashwell a wedding present. "Form Two and Form Four are going to give her a hankie shower," said Joyce Hewson, "and Patricia told me that the Sixth Form is going to give her a linen shower."
For a good ten minutes the man waited, whistling softly the while, before Charles returned. "Waal, what luck?" asked the stranger ere Charles had come through the doorway. "Luck!" growled the bondsman. "The devil's own, as mine always is, curse it!" "From which I calkerlate that old Meredith wuz obstinate and wud n't set yer free." "Not he, plead my best.
Eating dry biscuits and stringy tinned meat as they went along, the four men three blacks and one white followed in the footsteps of their mad pilot. "We're getting to the mountains we're getting to the mountains! We shall be there to-night! Think of that, Meredith to-night!" he kept repeating with a sickening monotony. And all the while he stumbled on.
It would seem that geographical science had little to expect from a diplomatic mission to a country already visited by Bosman, Loyer, Des Marchais, and many others, and on which Meredith and Dalzel had written; but Bowditch turned to account his stay of five months at Coomassie, which is but ten days' march from the Atlantic, to study the country, manners, customs, and institutions of one of the most interesting races of Africa.
The anxious father tried to do his double duty conscientiously, for the mother had died at Meredith's birth. This hurt Doris, and to her plea that the thing was there, Meredith returned that she did not believe it, and she did not, either.
Had she by the turn of Fortune been obliged, as many women are, to have borne her lot though her heart broke her child might have saved her and the man also for Thornton had the paternal instincts, though they were unsuspected and wholly dormant. Again Meredith had defeated him. What could he do with a helpless baby on his hands? What else was there to do but accept Doris's offer?
"Canst aid us to find him?" "I know naught of him, or his doings, save that last June I received the price I paid for his bond, through Parson McClave, who perhaps can give ye word of him." The officer rose, saying: "Mr. Meredith, I shall report on your case to the general, so soon as he is free, and have small doubt that you will be acquitted of blame and released.
