Keith, he argued, would understand their impatience. The millionaire was sailing in a day or two. One might never get that cheque cashed, or even signed, before he left Nepenthe. And then? Why, then the scheme might fall through and he added to himself how was he going to get his share of the plunder? The others, the respectable ones, gave way. Vainly they remonstrated.
His best work is contained in the charming pastoral drama of Sylvia and the poem entitled Nepenthe . He was a good but rather a savage critic, and edited Beaumont and Fletcher. His work has never been collected, nor, it is believed, ever fully published; and it has the marks of a talent that never did what was in it to do, and came at an unfortunate time.
"What? leave the nepenthe untasted?" They took him out, and he tucked his arms through theirs, and strutted down Drury Lane. "The fact is, sir, I speak to you, of course, in confidence, as one gentleman to another " Mr. Barker replied by a lofty and gracious bow.
Before him lay the skeleton draft of his annual report to the Nicaraguan Minister of Finance, a gentleman who developed a passionate craving, once a year, to be informed of the condition of Nepenthe in regard to matters such as shipping and trade returns, zymotic diseases, and the methods locally employed for combating beri-beri.

Calmly, without misgivings and without fervour, she took to the bottle. Something drew her to Nepenthe dim Mediterranean memories.
There have been the unhappily wed, who, through the fault of themselves, or their wives, found and made misery at home, and sought nepenthe elsewhere, such as Haydn, Berlioz, and Tschaikovski. There have been married lives of mixed nature, neither failure nor success, such as the careers of Lully, Rameau, Stradivari, and Wagner.
Plunged in its furtive depths you felt the spell of nature's mystery upon you; the mystery of the hoary wood, age-old, steeped in the nepenthe of the centuries. In brightest summer day, which, in these forest aisles, became a misty green translucence, the silence, the vastness, the solitude laid each a finger on you, bidding you go softly all the way.
