I must needs try my new-fledged pinions in sonnet, elogy, and madrigal. I must have a Cynthia, a Stella, a Sacharissa, as well as the best of them: darts and flames, and the devil knows what, must I give to my cupid.
Guess my confusion, when, in the midst of my antics, I beheld among the number my quondam flame; her whom I had be-rhymed at school; her for whose charms I had smarted so severely; tho cruel Sacharissa! What was worse, I fancied she recollected me; and was repeating the story of my humiliating flagellation, for I saw her whispering her companions and her governess.
Meanwhile, the Carr family and its affiliations had invested every cent they possessed in Green Mouse, Limited; and those who controlled the stock were Bushwyck Carr; William Augustus Destyn and Mrs. Destyn, née Ethelinda Carr; Mr. Killian Van K. Vanderdynk and Mrs. Vanderdynk, née Sacharissa Carr; George Gray and Mrs.
"That is the truth," said the Queen's voice behind them. They had not heard the heavy royal footfall which sets empty cells vibrating. Sacharissa offered her food at once. She ate and dragged her weary body forward. "Can you suggest a remedy?" she said. "New principles!" cried the Wax-moth from her crevice. "We'll apply them quietly later." "Suppose we sent out a swarm?" Melissa suggested.
"Come in," said her father, irritably, "but don't interrupt. William and I are engaged in a very important business transaction." Treating of Certain Scientific Events Succeeding the Wedding Journey of William and Ethelinda Sacharissa took the chair.
You people never seem to grasp the economic simplicity that underlies all life." "Oh, me!" said poor Melissa, "haven't you ever been beyond the Gate?" "Certainly not. A fool's eyes are in the ends of the earth. Mine are in my head." It gorged till it bloated. Melissa took refuge in her poorly paid field-work and told Sacharissa the story.
Good or bad, every inch of it was so riddled by the tunnels of the Wax-moth that it broke in clouds of dust as it was flung on the heap. "Oh, see!" cried Sacharissa. "The Great Burning that Our Queen foretold. Who can bear to look?" A flame crawled up the pile of rubbish, and they smelt singeing wax.
Heavens and earth! whom should I perceive in the midst of them, but my early and tormenting flame, the everlasting Sacharissa! She was grown up, it is true, into the full beauty of womanhood, but showed by the provoking merriment of her countenance, that she perfectly recollected me, and the ridiculous flagellations of which she had twice been the cause.
It appeared that all plumbers, locksmiths, and similar indispensable and free-born artisans had closed shop at noon and would not reopen until after New Year's, subject to the Constitution of the United States. "But this gentleman cannot remain here until after New Year's," said Sacharissa. "He says he is in a hurry. Do you hear, Sparks?" The servants stood in a helpless row.
