New York, beginning with 60,000 sixty years since, has now a million souls a million mouths, all of which eat a sufficiency of bread, all of which speak ore rotundo, and almost all of which can read. And this has come of its love of dollars. For myself I do not believe that Dives is so black as he is painted or that his peril is so imminent.
I saw nothing of him on leaving the Rotundo. Perhaps he meant to meet me there or at my hotel; but how was I to get back to either of these places without leaving my post? I was perplexed as to how I should communicate with D'Hauteville. It occurred to me that the hackney-coachman I had not yet dismissed him might remain and watch the house, while I went in search of the Creole.
Never trust to a day for receiving a letter of credit, if to a friend belongs the duty of sending it. So swore I, as I parted from the banking-house of Brown and Co. It was twelve o'clock when I returned to the Rue Saint Louis. I did not re-enter the hotel I walked direct to the Rotundo. My pen fails to paint the dark emotions of my soul, as I stepped under the shadow of that spacious dome.
By and by, M. Charpentier came in, who is more voluble, more ore rotundo, grandiose, than M. Belloc. He began panegyrizing Uncle Tom; and this led to a discussion of the ground of its unprecedented success. In his thirty-five years' experience as a bookseller, he had known nothing like it. It surpassed all modern writers.
It was confoundedly like a controversial meeting at the Rotundo, and I myself had a far greater resemblance to Father Tom Maguire than a gay Lothario.
How could he tell? Did he know her? All! I remembered he had seen her that morning in the Rotundo. "It is she!" I replied, my beating heart scarce allowing me to make utterance. The window was curtained, but she had raised the curtain in one hand, and was looking out. There was that in her attitude that betokened earnestness. She appeared as if trying to penetrate the gloom.
In Liverpool those clubs were organized on the most extensive scale; thousands of Irishmen attended their weekly meetings, and speeches rivalling those delivered at the Rotundo and at the Music Hall in fervour and earnestness were spoken from their platforms.
At those words, delivered /ore rotundo/, the haymakers ceased laughing; for even in lay matters they held the parson to be an oracle, and words so long must have a great deal in them. Lenny drew up his head proudly. "You are very fond of Flop, I suppose?" "'Deed he is," said the widow, "and of all poor dumb creatures." "Very good.
In the rotundo in which it was given, an elegant compliment was prepared for the principal guest, which is thus described in the papers of the day. "Upon entering the area the general was conducted to his seat. On a signal given, music played Washington's march, and a scene which represented simple objects in the rear of the principal seat was drawn up, and discovered emblematical painting.
It was said to have emanated from, and was certainly patronized by members of the so-called Irish party, which, with so few elements of cohesion, was inaugurated at the Rotundo meeting; but the father of the scheme seems to have been Mr. J.E. Godley.
