Letters perused and reperused, coming from a man never fervently noticed in person, conjure features one would wish to put beside the actual, to make sure that the fiery lines he writes are not practising a beguilement. Aminta had lost grasp of the semblance of the impassioned man. She just remembered enough of his eyes to think there might be healing in a sight of him.
And a second time Louis dismissed D'Artagnan. Fouquet had not quitted the terrace where he had been left by his guide. He reperused his note, conceived thus: "Something is being contrived against you. Perhaps they will not dare to carry it out at the castle; it will be on your return home. The house is already surrounded by musketeers. Do not enter.
Now, as with a fresh eye he reperused it, and with that strange, innocent admiration, not of self for a man's work is not, alas! himself, it is the beautified and idealized essence, extracted he knows not how from his own human elements of clay; admiration known but to poets, their purest delight, often their sole reward.
He laid down the note very gently, again took it up and reperused. Then he held it to the candle, and it dropped from his hand in tinder. "The innocent child," murmured he, with a soft paternal tenderness; "she knows not what she writes." He began to pace the room with his habitual restlessness when in solitary thought often stopping often sighing heavily.
"Thank you," replied the musketeer, politely; after which the two partners reperused their deed. "That is perfect, monsieur," said Planchet, "and the late M. Coquenard, the first husband of Madame la Baronne du Vallon, could not have done it better." "Do you find it so? Let us sign it, then." And both affixed their signatures.
Ellen did not, however, remain long in this opinion; for when she reperused the letter, and considered the firm, regular characters, and the style, calm and cold, even in requesting such a sacrifice, she felt that there was nothing like insanity here.
Neither knew the purposes of the other; but each wanted the assistance of the other. Maxwell, with an absent mind, perused and reperused the first page of Colonel Dumont's instructions. Without a purpose he turned the leaf, and his attention was attracted by the name of his formidable rival, Henry Carroll. He read, with astonishment, a bequest to him of fifty thousand dollars.
When she had thus reperused it, her tears fell upon the page. "Poor Isaura!" she muttered "poor Isaura! I know she loves him and how deeply a nature like hers can love! But I must break it to her. If I did not, she would remain nursing a vain dream, and refuse every chance of real happiness for the sake of nursing it."
And who, looking back to the green spots in his childish experiences, does not bless the good Tinker of Elstow? And who, that has reperused the story of the Pilgrim at a maturer age, and felt the plummet of its truth sounding in the deep places of the soul, has not reason to bless the author for some timely warning or grateful encouragement?
But this one copy was perused and reperused as no single copy of any paper extant not excepting The Times or Punch has ever yet been perused; and when it was returned to the editor to be carefully placed in the archives of the Dolphin, it was emphatically the worse for wear. Besides all this, a theatre was set agoing of which we shall have more to say hereafter.
