'Indeed but he has though, interposed Miss Milly; a good deal to my chagrin, for I saw no particular reason for placing his verses in Cousin Monica's hands. So I confessed the two little copies of verses, with the qualification, however, that I did not know from whom they came. 'Well now, dear Maud, have not I told you fifty times over to have nothing to say to him?
But she wishes to be kind to us, I'm sure and I like to see something of a life so different from our own. Widdowson drummed on the floor with his foot. In a few moments, ignoring Monica's remarks, he stroked his beard, and asked, with a show of casual interest 'How was it you knew that Mr. Barfoot? 'I had met him before when I went there on the Saturday.
Its greatest examples have always been reached by the reflex, the almost combative, action of intense poetic feeling Shakespeare's, Milton's, Wordsworth's, Rossetti's and intensity was not Mr Arnold's characteristic. Yet Austerity of Poetry, East London, and Monica's Last Prayer must always stand so high in the second class that it is hardly critical weakness to allow them the first.
But, oh, Bertha, look! look!! look!!!" Her voice had fallen suddenly to a quivering whisper and she was pointing to the Westmacotts' house. Her sister gave a gasp of horror, and stood with a clutch at Monica's arm, staring in the same direction. There was a light in the front room, a slight, wavering light such as would be given by a small candle or taper.
I was startled by the expression of cousin Monica's face. She looked ghastly and angry. "To whom," she asked, with an effort, "will the property belong in case in case my cousin should die before she comes of age?" "To the next heir, her uncle, Mr. Silas Ruthyn. He's both heir-at-law and next-of-kin," replied the attorney.
I might still trace some of its outlines and tints in its living original, whom I was next day to see for the first time in my life. So the morning came my last for many a day at Knowl a day of partings, a day of novelty and regrets. The travelling carriage and post horses were at the door. Cousin Monica's carriage had just carried her away to the railway.
He loathed the memory of his life since marriage; and as for pardoning his wife, he could as soon pardon and smile upon the author of that accursed letter from Bordeaux. But go back to the house he must. By obeying his impulse, and straightway returning to London, he might be the cause of a fatal turn in Monica's illness.
Next morning early I visited my favourite full-length portrait in the chocolate coat and top-boots. Scanty as had been my cousin Monica's notes upon this dark and eccentric biography, they were everything to me. A soul had entered that enchanted form. Truth had passed by with her torch, and a sad light shone for a moment on that enigmatic face.
After partaking of bitter mate, I thanked my hostess, looked my last into Monica's dark, sorrowful eyes, lifted for one moment to mine, and kissed little Anita's pathetic face, by so doing filling the child with astonishment and causing considerable amusement to the other members of the family.
That would be aiding and abetting one whom they strongly believed to be Monica's enemy. If only Miss Frazer had not such a tiresome love of tidiness, they might have reached the lantern room in time, and be now in possession of the information they wanted. It was too tantalizing to feel that they had been so near a solution of the problem, and had missed it by a few moments.
