Simpson, Nassau Senior's daughter, who knew him to the end of his life; while Mrs. Andrew Crosse, his friend in the Crimean decade, cites his finely chiselled features and intellectual brow, "a complexion bloodless with the pallor not of ill-health, but of an old Greek bust." "Eothen" appeared in 1844.
First-year men that is to say, junior officers returning from their first leave were the most encumbered, self-possessed, and asserting; those of the second year, so to say, usually got a corner-seat and looked out of window; while here and there a senior officer, or a subaltern with a senior's face, selected a place, arranged his few possessions, and got out a paper, not in the Oxford manner, as if he owned the place, but in the Cambridge, as if he didn't care a damn who did.
First supper is the Senior's prerogative; but it is given occasionally to juniors and probationers as a mark of approval, or when the Senior is not hungry, or when a probationer reaches the breaking point, which is just before she gets her uniform. The Probationer smiled and brightened. After all, she must be doing fairly well; and if she were not in the battle she was of it.
Faithful to his plan, Major Pendennis gave his nephew no let or hindrance; but somehow the constant feeling that the senior's eye was upon him, an uneasy shame attendant upon that inevitable confession which the evening's conversation would be sure to elicit in the most natural simple manner, made Pen go less frequently to sigh away his soul at the feet of his charmer than he had been wont to do previous to his uncle's arrival.
Dunbar presented himself in the diamond-merchant's office. Henry Dunbar was not alone. He had called in St. Gundolph Lane, and asked Mr. Balderby to go with him to inspect the diamonds he had bought for his daughter. The junior partner opened his eyes to the widest extent as the brilliants were displayed before him, and declared that big senior's generosity was something more than princely.
She sparkled airily. "No?" said Madame, still moving the needle and still in French. "Nevertheless, morning and evening together, our winnings are how much?" "Ours?" melodiously asked the smiling girl, "they are not ours, they are mine. And they are at the least" she dropped to her senior's footstool and spoke caressingly low "a clean thousand!
You must thank them for it. You will write immediately, of course." Webster explained that, since he must go to New Hampshire immediately, it would hardly be worth while to write. He could thank his good friends in person. "Why," said Mr. Gore in great astonishment, "you don't mean to accept it, surely!" The youth's high spirits were damped at once by his senior's manner.
What they wanted was to filch our worthy senior's things and go and pawn them in order to raise money." "This is just another devilish trick of that minx Feng!" Chia Chen smiled. "How ever could they have reached such straits?
Edward's good commonsense at once settled that, as the man who married Julia would be the greatest sufferer by Hardie senior's fraud, Hardie junior should settle his own £10,000 on her, and marry her as soon as he came of age. Alfred joyfully agreed, privately arranging that the money should be settled on Julia's parents, and preparations went on apace.
The next time she was invited out the mistress took care to make up the card-tables before she arrived; so that Sylvie was reduced to wandering from table to table as an onlooker, the players glancing at her with scornful eyes. At Madame Julliard senior's house, they played whist, a game Sylvie did not know.
