She herself held back; so none saw the first meeting between the twins. Presently, as she stood there in suspense, she heard the words: "Who is it outside, Ruth?" in Mrs. Prichard's voice, weak but controlled. Then the reply, through a breath that caught: "Ruth is outside." Then the weaker voice, questioning: "Then who?... then who?..." But no answer was given.
Nash agrees with me it is more than old age, and recommends my mother, being old too, not to come back till she goes, for it would not be good for her, for anything of this sort is most trying to the nerves, and my mother is eighty-one this Christmas, just old Mrs. Prichard's own age." "I think that's the end of the sentence," said the Earl.
There is extant a fragment of a comedy, entitled 'The Cities, written by the Rhodian poet Anaxandrides, in which the Egyptian worship of animals is amusingly enough quizzed. A translation will be found in Dr Prichard's Analysis of Egyptian Mythology. The lines referring to cat-worship are as follow:
"We had only been there a very short time when Uncle Moses suggested that Dave should fetch a letter he was writing, from 'Old Mrs. Prichard's Room' upstairs, and Dave who is a dear little chap of six or seven or eight rushed upstairs to get it. I forgot how much I told you about the family, but I know I said something in yesterday's letter. Anyhow, 'old Mrs.
There is in Prichard's Natural History of Man, the head of a figure on page 157 the features of which so resemble those of my mother, that I often recur to it with something of the feeling which I suppose others experience when looking upon the pictures of dear departed ones.
Gwen was looking puzzled over something in the letter. "'Out to sea in a ship!" she repeated. "I wonder, has 'decks' anything to do with that?... N-n-no! it must be 'desk. It can't be anything else." It was, of course, Mrs. Prichard's literal acceptance of Dave's pronunciation. But it had a nautical air for the moment, and seemed somehow in keeping with that old lady's marine experience.
Mine stood me out till over fifty, and since then they've been going going. Never was two such rows of teeth as I took with me to the Colony. Over fifty years ago, Mrs. Wardle!" "To think of that!" said Aunt M'riar. It was the time not the teeth that seemed so wonderful. Naturally old Mrs. Prichard's teeth went with her. But fifty years!
Prichard's Physical Researches, Vol. III. Chap. 1, Sec. 6; and Latham's Germany of Tacitus in loco. Germanorum natione, i.e. German in situation, not in origin, for this he expressly denies or disproves in 43, from the fact that they spoke the Pannonian language, and paid tribute.
Others might have compared notes on her report, literally given, with Dave's sporting account of the mill-model. And yet why should they? With no strong leading incident in common, each story might have been discussed without any suspicion that the flour-mill was the same in both. So that Mrs. Prichard's tale so far supplies nothing to link her with old Granny Marrable, as unsuspicious as herself.
They might have remained humbly contented with their ignorance, if Uncle Mo had not added: "So's Christmas!" meaning thereby the metaphorical Christmas used as an equivalent of the Greek Kalends. He overlooked, for rhetorical purposes, the near approach of the actual festival; and Dave and Dolly accepted this as fixing the date of Mrs. Prichard's return, to a nicety.
