Do you not love the profusion of light which reflects so dazzling a lustre on that soft cheek; and those eyes which the ancient romancer* must have dreamed of when he wrote so prettily of "eyes that seemed a temple where love and beauty were married"? Does not yon fruit take a more tempting hue, bedded as it is in those golden leaves?
It was certain that the two should meet where John Osgood, squatter and romancer, should be prompter, orchestra, and audience, and he alone. Vain lad! When they drew rein the young man took his companion at once to his own detached quarters known as the Barracks, and then proceeded to the house.
He abandoned the solution at last in despair, quite unable to decide upon the course he should take at the next encounter, whether he should scowl savagely at the couple or assume an attitude eloquent of apology and propitiation. Mr. Or perhaps romancer will describe him better.
It was very unfair to Dave, who was, after all, a model of veracity, that he should be treated as a romancer, and never confronted with witnesses to confirm or contradict his statements. Even Uncle Mo, who took him most seriously, continued to doubt the existence of widows' grandmothers, and to accept with too many reservations his account of the mill-model.
He is not a philosopher, but a sophist, a misanthrope in verse; a namby-pamby Mandeville, a Malthus turned metrical romancer. He professes historical fidelity; but his vein is not dramatic; nor does he give us the pros and cons of that versatile gipsey, Nature.
It was a rounded life, such as a romancer hardly dares to draw; yet there may be many not less lovely, only less conspicuously placed. When there was need for a man to go to England and plead before the king for Connecticut of which, for fourteen consecutive years thereafter, he was annually elected governor who but Winthrop could be selected?
They drove me back foot by foot, fighting lustily, and performing it was said afterwards by the anxious ones that watched us from the Castle, among whom was Madonna Paola such deeds of strength and prowess as never romancer sang of in his wildest flight of fancy.
They might be turned to great use by an historical romancer, who would find matters all made to his hand. The effect of this murder was to substitute for the succession that miserable drunkard, Selim II., who was utterly unable to lead the Turks in those wars that were absolutely essential to their existence as a dominant people.
The latter part of the panegyric shows that the fair romancer had not been entirely smothered in the fair philosopher and moral essayist. Perhaps encouraged by the success of "The Female Spectator" to publish more frequently, or actuated by a desire to appeal to the public interest in the political excitement of 1745-6, Mrs.
Classicists and purists in art doubtless look askance at a work which would certainly have enchanted the sovereign romancer. "Will folks read my stories when I am gone, doctor?" he asked as he lay a-dying. The good physician easily reassured his patient. "When we have patients awaiting some much-dreaded operation in hospital," he replied, "we have only to give them one of your novels.
