If I go into a club, if I dine, if I ride, if I walk ten to one if I am not pelted with questions about Mrs. Parflete, or Robert's history, or his genius, or his future plans. I must drop him." "Drop him?" she exclaimed. "Yes. It doesn't help me to appear so friendly with a Roman. I know he is very fine, but I have to consider my own position.
Having weighed all the disadvantages, Sara now directed her attention to the advantages she could snatch out of the dilemma. At last she hit on a bold plan. She rang a bell and a housemaid answered the summons. "Is Mrs. Parflete in her bedroom?" asked Lady Sara; "and where is her bedroom?" "Her bedroom is next to yours, my lady. She is in there now." "Thank you."
"That you are attracted by Mrs. Parflete. Your style ought to be Saint Clare or Saint Elizabeth. But not at all. You prefer this exquisite, wayward, perfectly dressed, extremely young actress. You give your nature full play in your taste, at all events." "You can urge that much in my favour, then?" "Yes, that much. Oh, she's pretty. But frivolous and light-hearted as light-hearted as Titania.
It may make us cynical, but it is absurd to expect human nature to be Divine. Mrs. Parflete has been at Orange's lodgings this afternoon." "You don't mean it?" "Indeed, it is too true. When he moved to Vigo Street, I was fortunate enough to secure a room in the same house immediately under his." "Good!"
Parflete is a Samaritaine; we have to prove it somehow. Even though one invented stories about her, one would probably find that they were, approximately, true." "Keep me informed," said the Prince, making a little bow, which signified that the audience was at an end.
I wish to God that I could prevent this marriage." "Why?" "I say nothing against Mrs. Parflete. She's a high-class woman and so on. Awfully beautiful, too. As clever as they make 'em, and not a breath against her. All the same, I am not very sweet on love matches for men of Orange's calibre. They never answer never."
Parflete would not waver or seem less exquisite under this discipline. Their dream of love would become unparadised. It would gain a sadness, a melancholy, a note of despair hard to endure and most difficult to repress. Reckage had no transcendentalism in his own philosophy: he divided men into two classes those who read, and those who could not stand, Dante.
"I was sitting at my table, with the door just ajar, when I heard, at six o'clock, a rustle of silk skirts on the stairs. I peeped out. I saw a tall lady, thickly veiled, following our landlord, Dunton, across the landing. She caught sight of me, and started violently." "Was it Mrs. Parflete?" "I could swear" he answered slowly, "that it was Mrs.
"He is not so sentimental as you imagine." "Isn't he? This affair with Mrs. Parflete was pure sentimentality from beginning to end a poet's love. He would have another feeling for you something much stronger. You are so human, Sara. I would far sooner kill you than write poetry to you. You are life not literature. That little thing with shining hair and a porcelain face is for dreams.
He admitted that Mrs. Parflete was an exceedingly beautiful, young, and, as it happened, rich person. He owned her delightfulness for a man of Robert's dreamy, romantic, intense temperament. But marriage between two idealists so highly strung, and so passionately attached as these two beings were what would happen? It was scarcely possible that the devotion of Robert and Mrs.
