See also Winwood Reade's Savage Africa, ch. xviii, in which he speaks of the "gorilla dance," before hunting gorillas, as a "religious festival." Or there were dances belonging to the ceremonies of Initiation dances both by the initiators and the initiated. At initiation you learn certain dances which confer on you definite social status.
At two tables stood bootleggers, each with a bottle of liquor and glasses. Tom stalked boldly in, still without turning to look at his own following. Reade's face bore such a mild look that the leader of the visiting gamblers was wholly deceived as he glanced up. "The chief!" called one workman, in dismay, and a dozen men made a break for the door.
Your road has to get a through train all the way into Lineville before midnight. We'll blow out the roadbed here, and then where are you?" At these words even the brief hope that had been in Tom Reade's mind, died out. With the roadbed gone at this point also, he did not see the slightest chance for the S.B. & L. to save its charter or its property rights.
Uncle Austen himself admired Alexander Pope, and Franklin's Autobiography; he liked Charles Reade's novels, too, bearing on institutional reforms Here Mrs. Leroy and Molly came back, Molly in a white wrapper and Charlotte bearing a pillow and a silk quilt. "Willy's calling," Charlotte told Alexina; "he wants you."
Had Reade never known Laura Seymour, he might never have written so strong a drama. The mystery of Reade's relations with this woman can never be definitely cleared up. Her husband, Mr. Seymour, died not long after she and Reade became acquainted.
"I'm mighty glad to hear you talk that way about it," said Prescott, resting a hand on Reade's shoulder. "Why?" demanded Tom rather bluntly. "Did you think that I could feel any other way about it?" "But Evarts is pretty sure to talk a lot about Bascomb, now," hinted the young army officer. "If he does," sighed Tom, "I don't know that I can think of any way to stop the fellow."
By CHARLES READE, Author of "It is Never too Late to Mend," "White Lies," etc. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1859. This is the last, and in many respects the best, of Mr. Charles Reade's literary achievements.
A teacher with the appropriate name of Slatter set him hard tasks and caned him unmercifully for every shortcoming. A weaker nature would have been crushed. Reade's was toughened, and he learned to resist pain and to resent wrong, so that hatred of injustice has been called his dominating trait. In preparing himself for college he was singularly fortunate in his tutors.
Her explanation of Reade's appearance led her to think that he was very poor. If she had not much tact, she had an abundant store of sympathy; and so she sat down and wrote a very blundering but kindly letter, in which she enclosed a five-pound note. Reade subsequently described his feelings on receiving this letter with its bank-note.
Several witnesses have testified that Emerson had no high opinion of Hawthorne's writing, that he preferred Reade's "Christie Johnstone" to "The Scarlet Letter," but Emerson never manifested much interest in art, simply for its own sake. Like Bismarck, whom he also resembled in his enormous self-confidence, he cared little for anything that had not a practical value.
