Take off your things, and let's play." "No, I can't stay but a few minutes," said Delight, primly. She sat there, looking very uncomfortable, and though Midge and Gladys tried to make her more chummy, they didn't succeed. Finally, Delight rose to go, and as Gladys didn't care much for such a spoil sport, she said nothing to detain her.
Spencer agreed that it would be better for the two little girls to have regular school hours, and Delight was glad to have Marjorie at her lessons with her. Midge herself was not overpleased at the prospect, but her parents had approved of the plan, and had sent over her school-books. The play-room was used as a school-room, and a pleasant enough room it was.
"We will go no farther today, but will return to Sherwood, and thou shalt go to Ancaster another time, Little John." So said Robin, for now that his bones were sore, he felt as though a long journey would be an ill thing for him. So, turning their backs, they retraced their steps whence they came. The Adventure with Midge the Miller's Son Quoth Robin Hood, "I would that I had somewhat to eat.
Truly, my limbs do grow slack through abiding idly here. As for two of my six, I will choose Midge the Miller and Arthur a Bland, for, as well thou knowest, good master, they are stout fists at the quarterstaff. Is it not so, Little John?" At this all laughed but Little John and Robin, who twisted up his face. "I can speak for Midge," said he, "and likewise for my cousin Scarlet.
It might be hovering round the features of a man when the smile on his lips and the exaltation in his eyes were expressive of the highest ecstasy of soul, but the midge would see no beauty in those features because it had not the soul to enter into the soul of the man and understand the expression on his face.
But now supposing that among all the midges that buzz about a man there happened to be an artist-midge with exceeding sensitiveness of soul, one which was able to recognise a fundamental identity of life between it and the man, one which was able to recognise samenesses of feelings and emotions and aspirations, and by recognition of the samenesses between it and the man enter into the very life and soul of the man, then that midge would be able to understand all the varying expressions on the face of the man, and by understanding those expressions see their beauty.
"Don't look like that, Mother," said Marjorie, "for if you do, I'll begin to feel weepy, and I won't go at all." "Oh, yes, you will, Miss Midge," cried her father; "you'll go, and you'll stay all summer, and you'll have a perfectly beautiful time. And, then, the first of September I'll come flying up there to get you, and bring you home, and it'll be all over.
So, Midge, you must be a good girl, and not teach Delight all sorts of mischief." "Oh, yes, Mother, I'll be so good you won't know me. Can I start to-day?" "Yes, if you're sure you want to." "Want to? I just guess I do!" and Midget danced upstairs to dress for "school." The plan worked admirably.
I wish I had," said Eyebright. "It's a real nice place," went on the pink-and-gray midge. "You'd better make haste and come and see it quick, 'cause it's de-te-rotting every day; my papa said so. Don't you think Dr. Azariah P. Brown is a beau-tiful name? I do. When I'm mallied and have a little boy, I'm going to name him Dr. Azariah P. Brown, because it's the beautifulest name in the world."
I cannot be sure of God because I have never seen Him; the Universe is certainly very majestic, and somewhat startling to me in its exact mathematical proportions; but I have no more to do with it than has a grain of sand; my lot is no more important than that of the midge in the sunbeam; I live, I breed I die; and it matters to no one but myself how I do these three things, provided I satisfy my nature. This is the Philosophy of the Beast, and it is just now very fashionable.
