It's a nice point, however, how much one is hound in honour not to warn a young friend against a dangerous woman because one also has relations of civility with the lady." "In such a case," said Stanmer, "I would break off my relations." I looked at him, and I think I laughed. "Are you jealous of me, by chance?" He shook his head emphatically.
I was extremely shocked at the Countess's want of dignity in continuing to see the man by whose hand her husband had fallen." "The husband had been a great brute, and it was not known," said Stanmer. "Its not being known made no difference. And as for Salvi having been a brute, that is but a way of saying that his wife, and the man whom his wife subsequently married, didn't like him."
Stanmer afterwards assured me explicitly that he has never given her a hint of the liberties I have taken in conversation with what shall I call it? with her moral nature; she has guessed them for herself. She must hate me intensely, and yet her manner has always been so charming to me! She is truly an accomplished woman! May 4th.
It is very warm my window is open I can look out on the river gliding past in the starlight. So, of old, when I came home, I used to stand and look out. There are the same cypresses on the opposite hills. Poor young Stanmer was there, and three or four other admirers; they all got up when I came in. I think I had been talked about, and there was some curiosity.
She is as free to use every possible art to entangle poor Stanmer more closely as I am to clip her fine-spun meshes. Under the circumstances, however, we naturally shouldn't meet very cordially. But as regards her meshes, why, after all, should I clip them? It would really be very interesting to see Stanmer swallowed up.
I returned home at night, and just as I was going out of Stanmer Park I met the Duke of Taranto entering, for whom Lord Chichester had sent his carriage. The Duke of Feltre brought the intelligence that the King was at Abbeville. I was considerably annoyed, because it seemed like inclining to England, and relinquishing all hopes of France.
Stanmer hooked extremely meditative; his eyes were fixed on mine. "Yes, that marriage is hard to get over. It was not becoming." "Ah," said I, "what a long breath I drew when I heard of it! I remember the place and the hour. It was at a hill-station in India, seven years after I had left Florence.
"My poor mother needed a protector." Stanmer came in, interrupting our talk, and looking at me, I thought, with a little air of bravado. He must think me indeed a tiresome, meddlesome bore; and upon my word, turning it all over, I wonder at his docility. After all, he's five-and-twenty and yet I must add, it does irritate me the way he sticks!
We had a passionate argument, and I declared I would never see her again. In the heat of my displeasure I left Florence, and I kept my vow. I never saw her again." "You couldn't have been much in love with her," said Stanmer. "I was not three months after." "If you had been you would have come back three days after." "So doubtless it seems to you.
I wrote some Greek Iambics to vindicate myself from the imputation of singularity, and grieved I am that I did not keep a copy of them. Milton, you may remember, recommends what I attempted. "I saw much of Sheridan's father after the death of Sumner, and after my own removal from Harrow to Stanmer.
