"I'll make you a New-Year's call," he said, going out; and she called out that she should be sure to expect him. She seemed so strong that Holmes and Mrs. Polston and Margret, who were there, were going home; besides, old Yare said, "I'd like to take care o' my girl alone to-night, ef yoh'd let me," for they had not trusted him before.
But listen to me: at noon to-day I will take a ride with yon, all alone that is to be my New-Year's present." The boy uttered a cry of joy. "All alone, papa emperor? Oh, that will be splendid!" "But now go to Madame de Montesquiou, sire," said the emperor. "Constant!"
These concessions were, however, soon recalled. On the 30th of this month Piontkowsky, a Pole; who had been left behind, but whose entreaties prevailed upon the English Government, joined Bonaparte. On New-Year's Day all their little party was collected together, and Napoleon, entering into the feelings of the occasion, begged that they might breakfast and pass it together.
One New-Year's Eve that he spent with us, just before going away he sang charmingly some lines he had composed in the course of the evening, the graceful turn of which, as well as the feeling with which he sang them, were worthy of Moore. I remember only the burden: "Oh, come! one genial hour improve, And fill one measure duly; A health to those we truly love, And those who love us truly!"
"But there would be no such objection to an evening party," said one of the young Donaldsons. "We have fine sleighing now, and the moon rises only a little after eight on New-Year's evening; why not invite them for the evening."
And in Cambridge we may find our George Herbert's behaviour to be such, that we may conclude he consecrated the first-fruits of his early age to virtue, and a serious study of learning. And that he did so, this following Letter and Sonnet, which were, in the first year of his going to Cambridge, sent his dear Mother for a New-year's gift, may appear to be some testimony.
She herself, attracted by the sound of the bells, came to the door, and welcomed them with great cordiality. "Mr. Pownal and I," cried the lively Anne, "are come to make a New-Year's call, Esther. I have not your presents with me, but the next time you are at our house, you shall have them." "Miss Anne more'n all present," replied the pleased Esther. "She cold; she must come to the fire."
"Is it snowing outdo's?" she asked, briskly, after the greetings were transacted. "Mah goodness!" she said, in answer to his apparent surprise at the question. "Ah mahght as well have stayed in the Soath, for all the winter Ah have seen in New York yet." "We don't often have snow much before New-Year's," said Beaton. "Miss Woodburn is wild for a real Northern winter," Mrs. Leighton explained.
For weeks, but more especially since his gloomy broodings on New-Year's night, the anxious thought lay heavy on him, "What if our connection should have results?" The situation would then become so complicated that he saw no prospect of ever putting it straight again. The idea had only hitherto been an indefinite cause of anxiety now it resolved itself into a fact which appalled him.
"I ask you, Sam, is it an outrage? Twenty bucks for a table on the side!" "No!" "Is that highway robbery or not, I ask you!" Mr. Samuel Kahn hitched at his belt, an indication of mental ferment. "I wouldn't live in this town, not if you gave it to me!" "It's not the money, Sam. What's twenty dollars more or less on a business trip, and New-Year's Eve at that? But it's the principle of the thing.
