Cora was now on the stage: a transport of applause shook the house. "How well she acts!" said Radclyffe warmly. "Yes," answered Godolphin, as with folded arms he looked quietly on; "but what a lesson in the human heart does good acting teach us! Mark that glancing eye that heaving breast that burst of passion that agonised voice: the spectators are in tears! The woman's whole soul is in her child!
Radclyffe was impressed, despite himself, by the solemn novelty of this language, and the deep mournfulness with which the soothsayer's last sentence died away. "And how," said he, after a pause, "how, and by what arts would you so awaken the imaginative faculty?" "Ask not until the time comes for the trial," answered Liebhur.
"Not so," answered Radclyffe; "because when a man is striving for what he fancies a laudable object, the goodness of his intentions comforts him for a failure in success, whereas your selfishly ambitious man has no consolation in his defeats; he is humbled by the external world, and has no inner world to apply to for consolation."
He spoke not, moved not, but his breath heaved thick, and his face was as pale as death. He conquered himself. All within Radclyffe obeyed the idol he had worshipped, even before Constance; all within him, if ardent and fiery, was also high and generous.
"Ay, you may well look astonished," said Fanny, archly; "but note that smile it tells of old days." And Godolphin turning to his friend, saw indeed on the thin lip of that earnest face a smile so buoyant, so joyous, that it seemed as if the whole character of the man were gone: but while he gazed, the smile vanished, and Radclyffe gravely declined the invitation.
One of my companions in this Melle experience was A. Radclyffe Dugmore, formerly of the Players Club, New York, a well-known naturalist, author of books on big game in Africa, the beaver, and the caribou. His present address is Crete Hill, South Nutfield, Surrey. At other times and places, German troops have not rested content with the mere terrorization and humiliation of religious sisters.
"Thou mistakest me and my lore," said the diviner; "I meddle not with the tricks and schemes of the worldly; I show the truth, not garble it." "Pshaw!" said Radclyffe, impatiently; "this jargon cannot deceive me. You exhibit your skill for money. I ask one exertion of it, and desire you to name your reward. Let us talk after the fashion of this world, and leave that of the other to our dupes."
Radclyffe at length spoke; and his voice, at first trembling and indistinct, grew, as he proceeded, clear and earnest. "Never," said he, "shall I forget the confidence your emotions have testified in my my friendship; I am about to deserve it.
Among the crowd of its guests there was one whom its owners more particularly esteemed Stainforth Radclyffe was still considerably under thirty, but already a distinguished man. At school he had been distinguished; at college distinguished, and now in the world of science distinguished also.
Not a bit of it! She feels no more than the boards we tread on: she is probably thinking of the lively supper we shall have; and when she comes off the stage, she will cry, 'Did I not act it well?" "Nay," said Radclyffe, "she probably feels while she depicts the feeling." "Not she: years ago she told me the whole science of acting was trick; and trick trick trick it is, on the stage or off.
