Lady Engleton had heard, with regret, that he had been greatly worried about that troublesome nephew whom he had educated and sent to Oxford. "The young fellow had been behaving very badly," Miss Du Prel said. "Ungrateful creature," cried Lady Engleton. "Running into debt I suppose." Miss Du Prel feared that the Professor was suffering in health. He had been working very hard.
The distinction here drawn is so great and obvious that for proof of the German girl's case we need better evidence than Coleridge's rumour of a rumour, cited, as it is, by Hamilton, Maudsley, Carpenter, Du Prel, and the common run of manuals. Not that I deny, a priori, the possibility of Coleridge's story. As Mr.
"It is quite a relief to be able to retain one's respectability on easier terms." "In such a case as Miss Du Prel depicts? I doubt it. Caterina, in real life, would have a lively story to tell. How selfish we should think her! How we should point to the festoons of bleeding hearts that she had wounded a dripping cordon round the deserted home!
It was hoped that the fresh air and sunshine would cheer Miss Du Prel. The Professor led the conversation to her favourite topic: ancient Greek literature, but this only inspired her to quote the discouraging opinion of the Medea of Euripedes. The Professor laughed. "I see it is a really bad attack," he said. "I sympathize. I have these inconsolable moods myself, sometimes."
"Ah, mon Dieu!" cried Madame Vauchelet, "if men had to endure in the next world that which they have made women suffer in this that would be an atrocious justice!" Stubbornly Hadria sent her packets to the publishers; the publishers as firmly returned them. She had two sets flying now, like tennis balls, she wrote to Miss Du Prel: one set across the Channel.
He makes admissions about his own tendency to think that he has an immaterial soul, and that these points are, or may be, or some day will be, scientifically solved. These admissions are eagerly welcomed by Du Prel in his 'Philosophy of Mysticism; but they are only part of Kant's joke, and how far they are serious, Kant himself does not know.
I was afraid you were getting bored." "I was," said Miss Du Prel frankly, "so I came away." The young men laughed. "If only everybody could go away when he was bored," cried Hadria, "how peaceful it would be, and what small tennis-parties one would have!" "Always excepting tennis-parties at this house," said Hubert Temperley. "I don't think any house would survive," said Miss Du Prel.
"It certainly has its drowsy winters," observed Hadria. "Ah! but its spring awakenings!" cried Miss Du Prel. The chime of a clock startled them with its accusation of lingering too long. The hostess remonstrated at the breaking up the party. Why should they hurry away?
But what am I saying? Mr. Temperley would never ask anything so absurd. "You would have thought that when Miss Du Prel and Professor Fortescue arrived on the scene, I had about enough privileges; but no, Destiny, waking up at last to her duties, remembers that I have a maniacal passion for music, and that this has been starved.
Algitha shook her head, regretfully. "Did Hadria never show this impulse before?" "Never in my life have I seen her exercise her power so ruthlessly." "I rather think she is wise after all," said Miss Du Prel reflectively. "She might be sorry some day never to have tasted what she is tasting now." "But it seems to me dreadful.
