To-day I perceived that my system demanded the magnetism of lamb. If your constitution is wanting in the lamb element, you will find this tender." Pendlam, I should observe, had neglected to say grace. "Your theory of magnetisms," said I, "would seem a very convenient one. To-morrow, for example, you can require the magnetism of roast beef.
We passed up the aisle, reached the hall, and waited for them at the foot of the stairs. Presently they appeared. Clodman was praising the performance; Susan expressed her delight; Pendlam said something about miscellaneous magnetisms. They had reached the foot of the stairs, when Horatio sprang upon them like a brigand, and seized John Henry's collar. "Ha!
Disheartened and sorrowful, I set out to go. At the door I turned back. "Can I do anything for you, John Henry?" "Not unless" Pendlam hesitated a moment "if you have a dollar to spare?" I gave him a bank-bill. As he leaned forward to receive it, he struck his head against the suspended key. "Another symbol," I said. "Break not your brains upon the key of brass."
"Susan," said I, "who is that man?" "One of my husband's friends," answered Susan, in some confusion. "And yours?" eyeing her closely. "Oh, he comes frequently to the house; I see him occasionally." "'Tis he who gave Pendlam that bottle of wine?" "I believe so." "And that flogging, Susan!" "Oh, they have made that up," said Susan, innocently. "If they are satisfied, I have nothing to say.
"I am glad you have come," said Mrs. D , bitterly, seating herself on the sofa. "I am glad to see any person enter this house, who isn't all eaten up with the evils of society. I have heard about the evils of society till I'm heartily sick of them. People that come to see Pendlam don't generally talk about anything else.
So saying, to my utter astonishment, Pendlam uncorked a small bottle, which I had supposed to contain pepper-sauce, and commenced pouring out WINE. "This will answer in lieu of grace," I suggested. "The act of prayer," said Pendlam, "has indisputable uses. It opens the avenues to an influx of spiritual magnetisms.
Pendlam caught at the word compass. "It is singular; you must have some spiritual perception; it was written through my hand nine days ago, Purchase a compass. Here is the writing; I placed it upon the wall as a symbol; and I have intended buying a compass as soon as I could get the means." "Ah, John Henry," said I, "there is more in your symbols than you suppose. You want no purchasable compass."
The next day, the magnetisms of turtle-soup and venison will be found agreeable. The magnetisms of some birds are said to be excellent. And I have no doubt but in time you will arrive at the discovery, that the magnetism of a certain distilled beverage, called brandy, stimulates digestion." Pendlam laughed and blushed.
I was mortally afraid you would; for, d'ye see, you had a distinguished theatrical personage in your audience." "Indeed! I was not aware; who?" "Miss Kellerton herself!" "Is it possible?" Pendlam looked surprised, Susan interested, Mrs. "She told me she was going to hear you, to show you that she could be quite as tolerant as yourself.
It was true; there sat the reformer, out-cheering Horatio himself! By his side was Susan, looking brighter and happier than I had seen her for months. By her side sat "That rascal Clodman!" hissed Horatio, through his teeth. Miss Kellerton came before the curtain. A vast tumult of applause burst forth and died away. Pendlam cheered after all the rest had ceased.
