Mool. "Did she ever hint at an idea of hastening her marriage?" he inquired. Plainly as the question was put, it thoroughly puzzled Mr. Gallilee. His honest face answered for him he was not in Carmina's confidence. Mr. Mool returned to his idea. "The one thing we can do," he said, "is to hasten Mr. Ovid's return. There is the only course to take as I see it." "Let's do it at once!" cried Mr.
His complaints, too, may have added an interest, which, had his passion been successful, and had expressed itself with equal sameness, would have made the number of his sonnets insupportable. Melancholy in poetry, I am inclined to think, contributes to grace, when it is not disgraced by pitiful lamentations, such as Ovid's and Cicero's in their banishments.
Both of them were knowing in astronomy, of which Ovid's books of the Roman feasts, and Chaucer's treatise of the Astrolabe, are sufficient witnesses. But Chaucer was likewise an astrologer, as were Virgil, Horace, Persius, and Manilius.
When we landed we found that the ball had cut the poor man in two; and what made the circumstance more particularly interesting was that he was evidently a man of consequence. He was well dressed, had on black breeches and silk stockings; he was reading Ovid's Metamorphoses, and still grasped the book, which I took out of his hand.
There was also a waistcoat, recognized only by the name of vest in Coldriver, and that very morning Scattergood had seen the three, to say nothing of a certain shirt and a necktie of sorts, making brave young Ovid's figure. Ovid passed Scattergood's store on the way to his work. Baines had regarded him with interest. "Mornin', Ovid" he said. "Morning, Mr. Baines."
In her small sordid way she, like her employer, was persecuted by debts miserable debts to sellers of expensive washes, which might render her ugly complexion more passable in Ovid's eyes; to makers of costly gloves, which might show Ovid the shape of her hands, and hide their colour; to skilled workmen in fine leather, who could tempt Ovid to look at her high instep, and her fine ankle the only beauties that she could reveal to the only man whom she cared to please.
Dale's nonsense-verses were perfect nonsense to Hugh: but his construing was not: and when he went over it aloud, for the purpose of fixing his lesson in his ear, as well as his mind, Hugh was sorry when they arrived at the end, and eager to know what came next, particularly if they had to stop in the middle of a story of Ovid's.
The more I think of it, the more I feel that I ought to prepare Ovid for seeing me, before I make my escape. You said when we talked of it " "Never mind what I said." "Oh, but I do mind! You said I could go to Ovid's bankers at Quebec, and then write when I knew where he was. I have been thinking over it since and I see a serious risk.
"Allons done!" said he, "why not have told the truth at first? Oh, you sly rogue! You gaillard! This is your seclusion, is it? This is your love of learning this the secret of your researches into science and art! What art, pray? Ovid's 'Art of Love, I'll be sworn!" "Laugh on, pray," I said, feeling my face and my temper growing hot; "but that lady, who is a stranger to me"....
"There's some of the right stuff in this flask, Ovid, if you will accept it. Five-and-forty years old would you like to taste it? Would you like to taste it, my dear?" Mrs. Gallilee seized the "Railway Guide" again, with a terrible look. Her husband crammed the big flask into one of Ovid's pockets, and the cigars into the other. "You'll find them a comfort when you're away from us.
