Adjoining the grounds of Mulgrave House are those of Hurlingham Club, which cover fifty acres, and include a picturesque lake. Pigeon-shooting, polo-playing, tennis, and archery are all provided for.
"Then it would have been God!" cried the Abbé. "Why?" "I believe with Novalis that 'love is the highest reality," replied Gérard; then he added with a laugh, "No, Duke, what you saw was an emanation from yourself a master passion. It was the corporeal embodiment of your love of pigeon-shooting!" "Perhaps," laughed the Duke.
Useless for Frank to rouse him for the second time. Useless to explain ourselves. What was love to him, or the trivial conventions of a world which he was already quitting? We walked away. From the edge of the terrace I could see a number of boats pulling to and fro in the water. 'It's the pigeon-shooting, Frank explained. 'Come to the railings and you'll be able to see.
