Of course people who are making a special study of an age, a period, a school of writers, have to plough through a good deal that is not intrinsically worth reading; but, as a rule, when a man has done this, instead of saying boldly that the greater part of an author's writings may be wisely neglected and left alone, he loses himself in the critical discrimination and the chronological arrangement of inferior compositions; perhaps he rescues a few lines of merit out of a mass of writing; but there is hardly time now to read long ponderous poems for the sake of a few fine flashes of emotion and expression.
"Well, sometimes rescues have been made," went on Tom. "They are even more rare than escapes, but they have been done. I was thinking that perhaps after Jack and I get in with Pershing's boys we might be in some big raid on the Hun lines, and then, if we could get any information as to your brother's whereabouts, we might plan to rescue him." "Oh, do you think you could?"
Our friends that is, I believe, the way to call them liked it. They thought it a good thing for each of us. Indeed, making the dependants of a good family intermarry is an economy of patronage the same plank rescues two from drowning. I believe that is, I fear we accepted all this in the same spirit. We were to love each other as much as we could, and our relations were to do their best for us.
He is refused; then comes the absent lover over sea, to shipwreck; and our Seigneur rescues him, 'fends him; and when yon master exile is in peril, defies his Queen's commands" she tapped the papers lying beside her on the table "then comes to England with the lady to plead the case before his outraged sovereign, with an outlawed buccaneer for comrade and lieutenant. There is the case, is't not?"
We have the distressed maiden in the hands of persecutors, the knightly hero who rescues her, the maiden's faithlessness, and the contemptuous departure of the hero. But Wagner has clothed the whole of this work-a-day mediæval legend in a wondrous atmosphere of mystical beauty, and that beauty springs from the thought of the river.
'Is it so? you're right, the simple-minded boatman replied; 'no more smuggling after this day for me! And there never was. But that which has given the Deal boatmen a niche in the temple of fame and made them a part and parcel of our 'rough island story, is their heroic rescues and their triumphs over all the terrors of the Goodwin Sands.
Before the animated strains fairly cease, Florestein and some of the hunters dash across the grounds in quest of Arline, who has been attacked by a stag. Thaddeus, seizing a rifle, joins them, and rescues the child by killing the animal. The Count overwhelms him with gratitude, and urges him to join in the coming festivities.
The time has gone by when the two lonely women could take an interest in subjects not connected with their own anxieties. Now, when hope is fast failing them now, when their last news of the Wanderer and the Sea-mew is news that is more than two years old they can read of nothing, they can think of nothing, but dangers and discoveries, losses and rescues in the terrible Polar seas.
They give up all hopes of recovering her when they are happily relieved by the opportune arrival of Soudamini, an old pupil of the priestess Kamandaki, who has acquired extraordinary magical powers by her penances. She rescues Malati from the hands of the sorceress and restores her to her despairing lover. The two couples are now united in happy wedlock.
And is not this still the case with the artists of every country, how varied soever may be its maxims, or its system of action, from those of Greece? Is the artist indeed not that watchman who observes the great incidents of his time, and rescues them from oblivion?
