I saw something that answered to my nods and howd'ye-do's and but I am ashamed, and so penitent I might begin making a collection of beetles. I cannot lift up my head. Mr. Pollingray is such a different man from the one I had imagined! What that one was, I have now quite forgotten. I remember too clearly what the wretched guesser was.
One who has lived longer in the world ought to know better, and Mr. Pollingray approves of naturalness in everything. I have now seen through Charles's eyes for several months; so implicitly that I am timid when I dream of trusting to another's judgement. It is, however, a fact that I am not quite natural with Charles. Every day Mr. Pollingray puts on evening dress out of deference to his sister.
Pollingray, if you were only on this side to help us, Miss Alice exclaimed very piteously, though I could see that she was half mad with the internal struggle of laughter at the parents and concern for them. 'Now, pull, Alice, shouted the vicar. 'No, not yet, screamed Mrs. Amble; I'm sinking. 'Pull, Alice. 'Now, Mama. 'Oh! 'Push, Papa. 'I'm down. 'Up, Ma'am; Jane; woman, up.
Did you do mischief with them? Did Vidal's delicate sketch do justice to you? Your lips and chin and your throat all repose in such girlish grace, that if ever it is my good fortune to see you, you will not be aged to me! I slept and dreamed of her. In the morning, I felt certain that she had often said: 'Mon cher Gilbert, to Mr. Pollingray.
It is my fatal. peculiarity that I cannot be with people ten minutes without seeing some point about them where they are tenderest. Mr. Pollingray wants to be thought quite youthful. He can bear any amount of fatigue; he is always fresh and a delightful companion; but you cannot get him to show even a shadow of exhaustion or to admit that he ever knew what it was to lie down beaten.
I observe that weakness in him, I mean, his clinging to youthfulness, less and less; but I do see it, I cannot be quite in error. The truth is, I begin to feel that I cannot venture to mistrust my infallible judgement, or I shall have no confidence in myself at all. After breakfast, I was handed over to Miss Pollingray, with the intimation that I should not see him till dinner.
I forgive anybody who talks about first love after what my experience has been with Prince Leboo. What papa thought of the present I do not know, but I know very well what mama thought: and for my part I thought everything, not distinctly including that, for I could not suppose such selfishness in one so generous as Mr. Pollingray.
I believe now that a residence in France does not deteriorate an Englishman. Mr. Pollingray, when in his own house, has the best qualities of the two countries. He is gay, and, yes, while he makes a study of me, I am making a study of him. Which of us two will know the other first? He was papa's college friend papa's junior, of course, and infinitely more papa's junior now.
'Oh' cried she, with a toss of her head; I wet feet never hurt young people. There was matter for an admonitory lecture in this. Let me confess I was about to give it, when she added: But Mr. Pollingray, I am really afraid that your feet are wet!
Amble succumbed only to the first impulse. Discovering that all effort unaided to climb the bank was fruitless, she agreed to wait patiently and make the best of circumstances; and she did; and she learnt to enjoy it. There is marrow in every bone. My dear. Jane, I have never admired you so much. I tried her, Pollingray, in metaphysics.
