I shall be twenty-nine my next birthday. Sincerely yours, VANNA LORING. P.S. But I still think you would be wiser not to come. I hope to hear you will not. I replied only this: Dear Miss Loring, I think I understand the position fully. I will be there. I thank you with all my heart. Gratefully yours, STEPHEN CLIFDEN. Three days later I met Lady Meryon, and was swept in to tea.
And she pushed her share over the table, with a peremptory gesture. Meryon took it with a smile and a shrug, and she, throwing away the cigarette she had been defiantly smoking, rose from the table. "Now then, what shall we do? Oh! no museums! I am being educated to death! Let us go for a walk in the forest; and then I must catch my train, or the world will go mad."
"I think I had rather not discuss him," said her visitor, with decision; and she, protesting that Philip Meryon was now endowed with all the charms, both of villainy and mystery, let the subject drop. Mr.
Next evening I went into Lady Meryon's flower-scented drawing-room. The electric fans were fluttering and the evening air was cool. Five or six pretty girls and as many men made up the party Kitty Meryon the prettiest of them all, fashionably undressed in faint pink and crystal, with a charming smile in readiness, all her gay little flags flying in the rich man's honour.
She might not be engaged to Stephen for two years at any rate; and yet if she amused herself with any one else she was to be packed off to Paris, to some house of detention or other, under lock and key. Her cheeks flamed. When had she first come across Philip Meryon? Only the day before that evening when Uncle Richard had found her fishing with him.
Oh, why doesn't some great painter come and paint it all before they take to trains and cars? I long to see it all again, but I never shall." "Why not," said I. "Surely Sir John can get you up there any day?" "Not now. The fighting makes it difficult. But it isn't that. I am leaving." "Leaving?" My heart gave a leap. "Why? Where?" "Leaving Lady Meryon." "Why for Heaven's sake?"
This letter was forwarded. Meryon appeared. His first question would have startled any but Baudelaire, who prided himself on startling others. The etcher, looking as desperate and forlorn as in the Bracquemond etched portrait , demanded news of a certain Edgar Poe. Baudelaire responded sadly that he had not known Poe personally. Then he was eagerly asked if he believed in the reality of this Poe.
With Meryon the tactile perception was a sixth sense. Clairvoyant of images, he could transcribe the actual with an almost cruel precision.
She was thankful for the shelter afforded by the great silver tea-pot. Mamie's back was turned to her, but Edna seemed desirous of including her in the conversation. "Have you heard Avenel, Miss Agar?" she asked presently in her gentle, drawling way. "No. Is he very famous? I have never heard of him as a pianist." "Oh, his professional name is Meryon, of course.
In 1826 Lady Hester wrote to invite Dr. Meryon to return to her service for a time, and he, who seems all his life to have 'heard the East a-calling, could not resist the invitation, though his movements were now hampered by a wife and children. He began at once to make preparations for his departure, but was unable to start before September 1827.
