"I have cause to. 'Inchiquin' and 'Teviot' those were password and countersign on the night which ruined me the night of January 6th two years ago." There was an awkward pause, an interchange of glances. Then Major Shackleton broke the silence, though to no great effect. "H'm ah yes," he said. "Well, well," he added, and laying an arm upon Scrope's sleeve. "A good fellow, Scrope."
Scrope said, without thinking out the implications of that invitation. She assented as carelessly. The fact that she and her lover were to go, with their meeting legalized and blessed, excluded all other considerations. The two young people turned to each other. Scrope stood for a moment or so and then sat down again.
The author, having extensive personal acquaintance with the volcanoes of the south of Europe and the volcanic rocks of the British Isles, was well equipped for undertaking a work of the kind; and in it he supports the views of Lyell and Scrope regarding the mode of formation of volcanic mountains.
William Scrope, author of Days of Deer Stalking, roy. 8vo, 1839; and Days and Nights of Salmon Fishing, roy. 8vo, 1843; died in his 81st year in 1852. Mr. Lockhart says of this enthusiastic sportsman that at this time "he had a lease of Lord Somerville's pavilion opposite Melrose, and lived on terms of affectionate intimacy with Sir Walter Scott." Mr. George Ticknor of Boston.
"Yes, naturally, every night," returned the poet; "but do not, my dear Scrope, let the cat out of the bag, for I am as vain of my curls as a girl of sixteen." When in London, Byron used to go to Manton's shooting-gallery, in Davis street, to try his hand, as he said, at a wafer.
Scrope believes that this is the mouth of one of the arched galleries so frequently met with under lava in Iceland, Bourbon, and elsewhere; and on this he founds his explanation of the phenomenon.
I could not have hoped for so complete an example," said Wyley. Captain Tessin whistled; Major Shackleton bounced on to his feet. "Then Knightley knows nothing," cried Tessin in a gust of excitement. "And never will know," cried the Major. "Except by hearsay," sharply interposed Scrope. "Gentlemen, you go too fast, Except by hearsay. That, Mr. Wyley, was the phrase, I think.
Edwards also describes the high inclination of the obsidian rocks of the Cerro del Navaja in Mexico in the "Proc. of the Geolog. Soc." I doubt whether in any of these cases, the laminae have been tilted into their present position; and in some instances, as in that of the trachyte described by Mr. Scrope, it is almost certain that they have been originally formed with a high inclination.
As she spoke her eyes had been roving up the path and down. "He's coming," she interrupted. She hesitated. "Would you mind if I went and spoke to him first, Daddy?" "Of course go to him. Go and warn him I'm here," said Scrope. Eleanor got up, and was immediately greeted with joyful gestures by an approaching figure in khaki.
Nevertheless, having a spirit of her own, and being by no means prepared to be dictated to in these matters, some hot words escaped her lips almost before she knew, and were answered by Lady Scrope by an amused peal of her witch-like laughter. "Tut! tut! tut! Hoity toity! but she is in a temper, is she, my lady? Well a good thing too.
