Sowerby presented the risen morning to them, with encomiums, after they had been observing every variation in it. He spoke happily of the pleasant passage, and of the agreeable night; particularly of the excellent idea of the expedition by this long route at night; the prospect of which had disfigured him with his grimace of speculation apparently a sourness that did not exist.
As for Gianbattista, if once the poisonous influence of Paolo were removed and how surely removed! Marzio's lips twisted as though he were tasting the sourness of failure, like an acid fruit if once the priest were gone, Gianbattista would come back to his old ways, to his old scorn of priests in general, of churches, of oppression, of everything that Marzio hated.
"I don't like flattery," said the cook; "never did." Mr. Jones sighed and shook his head irresolutely. The other A.B. patted him on the back. "You look a fair bloomin' treat," he said, heartily. "You go up fust; you look as though you've slep' in one a'most." "None o' your larks, you know," remarked Mr. Jones, with suspicious sourness; "no backing out of it and leavin' me there by myself."
"Well is it for all undertakings that there should always be somebody to whom all is new, and who can be zealous and full of delight." "By no means surtout point de zele," returned Geraldine. "As well say no fermentation," said Lady Merrifield. "A dangerous thing," said Clement. "But sourness comes without it, or at least deadness," returned his sister.
"No, Mademoiselle, it isn't from books that one draws sourness. I find more sweetness in them than in most things." I was looking straight at her as I said this. She pretended to laugh again, but turned quite red. "Nay, forgive me," I said, instantly softened. "Ah, Celeste, you know too well what is the sweetest of all books for my reading." By my look and sigh, she knew I meant her face.
She smiled now to remember how great the mere faults of manner had once seemed to her girlish fastidiousness; they were small to her now; her teeth were set on edge indeed, but by a sharper sourness than lay in them. To the faults of manner she had grown to some extent accustomed; she had become an adept in covering and excusing them.
"Well," said Brooke, "but apart from the great question of one another which is just now fixing us on the rack, or on the wheel, or pressing us to any other kind of torment, and considering the great subject of mirthfulness merely in the abstract, do you not see how true it is that it is and must be the salt of life, that it preserves all living men from sourness, and decay, and moral death?
Verily a sourness of stomach lighted a fire in my body, so that I lost my senses for excess of pain, and I know no more of my condition. Asked the Caliph, 'What hast thou eaten to-day?; and she answered, 'I broke my fast on something I had never tasted before. Then she feigned to be recovered and calling for a something of wine, drank it, and begged the Sovereign to resume his diversion.
"No," said I, "I love it not; it hath an under taste of sourness, and an upper of oil, which do not make harmony to my palate. But, as I was saying, the Whigs, on the contrary, pay the utmost deference to their partizans; and a man of fortune, rank, and parliamentary influence, might have all the power without the trouble of a leader." "Very likely," said Guloseton, drowsily.
'Or nature: or the state of the world, said Beauchamp, singularly impressed to find himself between two men, of whom each perforce of his tenuity and the evident leaning of his appetites one was for the barren black view of existence, the other for the fantastically bright. As to the men personally, he chose Carpendike, for all his obstinacy and sourness.
