Lively sea- and grass-green, light and deep yellow, also blue crystals of various shades, have been found here. At the quarries on Rollestone Mountain in Fitchburg beryls of a rich golden color have been blasted out. Some of these approach the chrysoberyl and topaz in hardness and hue. Others so closely resemble the yellow diamond that they may readily be taken for that superior gem.
I should never have suspected it. He will be first favourite in London this season, and win in a canter. Coldwaite. You will excuse me, Mr Rollestone, but I really am interested, and I really am serious. It was with no idle curiosity that I was waiting to hear your answer to Mr Germsell's inquiry, as to the nature of the moral experiment necessary to test the character of this unseen force.
Mrs Allmash. Now, I should say, Mr Rollestone, on the contrary, that it was just a subject you ought to write a book about. You would have so much to tell, all your personal experiments, you know; now do. Fussle. Take my advice, Mr Rollestone, and don't.
I should go about covered with a number of electric love-wires for the force to play upon. Fussle. I think this matter wants clearing up, Mr Germsell. Why don't you write a book on mental and emotional physics? Mr Rollestone. I would venture with great diffidence to remark that the confusion seems to me to arise from the limit we attach to the meaning of the word employed.
Mr Fussle, I know it is useless to expect you; and I cannot venture to ask Mr Rollestone to anything so frivolous. But perhaps you will dine with me on Thursday you will meet some congenial spirits. Rollestone. Thank you, but I fear it will be impossible, as I leave London to-morrow. Good-bye, Lady Fritterly.
If Rollestone would write a book which would put a stop to this "religion of the future" business, he would earn the gratitude of society. Do you know, I am getting rather bored with it. Fussle.
It is so refreshing to meet any one so full of information and earnestness as you are, in this wicked, jaded London. Please go on, Mr Rollestone; what you were saying was so interesting. Have you really been experimentalising on your own moral organism? How quite too extraordinary! I had no idea old Rollestone could come out in this line. He is a regular dark horse.
You must have met, in the course of your travels, that more enlightened and initiated class of Buddhists, with whom I sympathise, who are quite indifferent to considerations of this nature. Rollestone. And who were too much occupied with their subjective prospects in Nirvana, to be affected by the needs of terrestrial humanity. Drygull. Quite so. Mrs Allmash.
Why, Rollestone, you would make all the women detestable if you could have your way. Rollestone. I don't think there is any immediate cause for alarm on that score. I have a few people coming to me to-morrow evening; do you think you can spare a moment from your numerous engagements? Lady Fritterly and Lord Fondleton are coming; and perhaps, Mr Drygull, you will come, and bring Mr Allyside.
I thank you so much for coming. I hope you will often look in on our Sundays. I think, you know, that these little conversations are so very improving. Germsell. You don't catch me again making one of your Sunday afternoon collection of bores and idiots. What an insufferable prig that Rollestone is! Rollestone.
