That same day Lord Lyons, the British Ambassador, took his departure from Paris, proceeding by devious ways to Tours, whither, a couple of days previously, three delegates of the National Defence two septuagenarians and one sexagenarian, Cremieux, Glais-Bizoin, and Fourichon had repaired in order to take over the general government of France.
I came away in the middle of it; he was too much for me altogether; Furies could not have driven me out more effectually than his marvel-working tongue. Phi. What, Eucrates, of all credible witnesses? That venerably bearded sexagenarian, with his philosophic leanings?
Daughter of the crafty Sforza, Duke of Milan, educated in a city and at a court where pleasure reigned predominant, married out of policy to a monarch many years older than her own father, it was almost to be expected that she should seek, in the society of some gay cavalier, a compensation for this banishment to a northern country, and a sexagenarian spouse.
Many of them have old scores to settle with the Horned Lizard, and more than one longs to send a bullet through his heart. But, despite the general reckless impatience to proceed, there are some who counsel caution. Chief among those is a man named Cully, a thin wiry sexagenarian, who looks as if he had been at least half a century upon the prairies.
That was a distinct breach of the contract. As to the babble of the London world about a 'very young wife, he scorned it completely, but it belonged to the calculation. 'A very handsome young wife, would lay commands on a sexagenarian vigilance while adding to his physical glory. The latter he could forego among a people he despised.
He had kept his suspicions to himself, not imparting them even to his own special followers. By the laws of the Saara, a slave taken by any one of the tribe belongs not to its chief but to the individual who makes the capture. For this reason had the cunning sexagenarian kept his thoughts to himself, and fallen solus into the rear of the returning horde.
The years 1858 to 1861 show her to us in the fullest conservation of her powers and in the heyday of activity. The group of novels belonging to this period, the climax of what may be called her second career, is sufficiently remarkable for a novelist who was almost a sexagenarian, including Elle et Lui, L'Homme de Neige, La Ville Noire, Constance Verrier, Le Marquis de Villemer and Valvèdre.
There was the Earl of Castlefort, plump and luxurious, with a youthful wig, who, though a sexagenarian, liked no companion better than a minor. His Lordship was the most amiable man in the world, and the most lucky; but the first was his merit, and the second was not his fault.
The incidents, as given by Godwin, are in nowise to Mary's discredit, though his account of them was later twisted and distorted by Dr. Beloe in his "Sexagenarian." The latter, however, is so prejudiced a writer that his words have but little value. Godwin, in his Memoirs, after demonstrating the strength of the intimacy between Mary and Fuseli, says:
The impertinent ways of this robust woman betrayed her position in her master's house, as much as the diamonds that glittered in her ears. This creature would surely watch the will of her patron, a sexagenarian with an apoplectic neck, which became the color of dregs of wine after a glass of brandy. M.
