The scholar, who thus rose to be the servant of Roseton, a position that even the President of a Western college might envy, such were its dignities and emoluments, stood for a moment at the foot of Roseton's couch, and in silence received the silent orders of the day.
'Oh, you naughty man, is that you already? said Bella; 'didn't you meet the Bear as you came in? 'He is in the front basement, sucking his paws, replied Roseton, for it was indeed he, 'and he is trying to do a stupider thing, if possible. 'What's that? asked the fair Bella. 'Now don't tire me with any of your nonsense. 'To read himself, answered Roseton.
Mundus can never follow us there, the boats are so dangerous. 'But, Bella mia' said Roseton, in the soft accent of Italy, 'as the eminent but slightly impractical Hungarian I refer to Kossuth said, Staten Island "is lovely, but exposed." We should not be safe there.
Recovering from these delicious souvenirs, your attention was drawn to the Sauternes, indisputably titled at a Wall Street sale, and priceless. This wine had never yet been tasted, for Roseton was wont to say, 'I only care for vitriol when it is a hundred years old, and this had only seen the summer of twenty.
He was a man of deep and ardent imagination, and uncomprehended by the simple villagers, who irreverently styled him the 'mad Roseton. He died, and left a singular will.
Roseton paused, irresolute it was a great struggle; but what will not one do for the woman one loves? 'I promise, said he, at last; and, bending over her, laid a kiss like an egg upon her brow. 'This will forever bind me. 'Thank you, dear Percy, said Bella; 'and I hope you'll keep your promise better than you did the last one you made about giving up smoking.
I have nothing in my pocket but hundred-dollar city bills, and those infernal omnibus drivers make change with Valley Bank notes, which a certain person furnishes them, and Mundus fixed his eyes full on the master of Pont-Noir. 'Mr. Roseton, he continued, 'will you be so kind as to call at my office after the Second Board, to-day?
Roseton awoke. A silver clock upon the mantle, so constructed as to represent Guido's 'Hours, had just struck the hour of eight, accompanying the signal with the festal la ci darem of Don Giovanni. This was Roseton's invariable hour of waking, no matter what might be the season, or what might have been his time of retiring.
Carefully wiped, and clothed in a morning robe by twelve gentlemanly attendants, each one a scion of the first families of the metropolis, Roseton was borne to the breakfasting apartment. Here, indeed, a scene presented itself, among whose splendors imagination only could safely dwell, and before which the practical and the prosaic mind might well grow comatose or skeptical.
It was, however, left for Roseton to discover that these flames consisted of negative qualities as to caloric; and a project for cooling the streets of Newport by night, in summer, by means of floods of brilliant radiance, every point of which shall surpass the calcium light of the Museum, will soon evince to society that Roseton has not lived in vain.
