The Trojans were scared when they saw the two sons of Dares, one of them in fright and the other lying dead by his chariot. Minerva, therefore, took Mars by the hand and said, "Mars, Mars, bane of men, bloodstained stormer of cities, may we not now leave the Trojans and Achaeans to fight it out, and see to which of the two Jove will vouchsafe the victory? Let us go away, and thus avoid his anger."
And he resolved that he would not be like Stormer when he was old! No, he would rather be a regular beast than be like that! . . . When he went to his room to change for dinner he saw in a glass of water a large clove carnation. Who had put it there? Who could have put it there but she?
It may be imagined with what zeal, as the years went on, he entered into the pleasantry of there being no manual so important to him as the massive book of life. It was an expensive volume to peruse, but Mrs. Stormer was willing to lay out a sum in what she would have called her premiers frais. Ethel disapproved she thought this education far too unconventional for an English gentleman.
There is a time and a place for these things, and to get so "controlled" that one rarely laughs or shows sadness or anger is to atrophy, to dry up. But the emotional expression makes it easy to become an habitual weeper or stormer, makes it easy to become the over-emotional type, whose reaction to life is futile, undignified and a bodily injury.
Monsieur C was dead. The live man of the old Revolution, the daring Hotspur of those troublous days, was Anthony Wayne. The live man to-day of the great Northwest is Lewis Wallace. With all the chivalric clash of the stormer of Stony Point, he has a cooler head, with a capacity for larger plans, and the steady nerve to execute whatever he conceives.
He shut his eyes to get rid of her image and instantly she became ten times more visible, his feeling ten times stronger. He mounted to the hotel; there on the terrace was his tutor. And oddly enough, the sight of him at that moment was no more embarrassing than if it had been the hotel concierge. Stormer did not somehow seem to count; did not seem to want you to count him.
For all our admiration we cannot quite admit can we, when it comes to the point?" The boy's loyalty broke into flame: "It's not that. I think Mrs. Stormer as good as any man only only " "Not quite so good as you, eh?" "A hundred times better, sir." Stormer smiled. Ironic beast! "Lennan," he said, "distrust hyperbole."
I hope I shall get a letter from you soon; and that it will say you are getting ready to come back. My guardian will be awfully keen for you to come and stay with us. He is not half bad when you know him, and there will be his sister, Mrs. Doone, and her daughter left there after the wedding. It will be simply disgusting if you and Mr. Stormer don't come.
What was old Stormer talking about? The difference between the Greek and Roman views of honour. Always in the past seemed to think the present was bad form. And he said: "We met some English Grundys, sir, on the mountain." "Ah, yes! Any particular brand?" "Some advanced, and some not; but all the same, I think, really." "I see. Grundys, I think you said?" "Yes, sir, from this hotel. It was Mrs.
I should like to have your opinion on that." It was, of course, ironical yet there was something in those words something! "I think it's you, sir, who ought to give me yours." "My dear Lennan my experience is a mere nothing!" That was meant for unkindness to her! He would not answer. If only Stormer would go away! The music had stopped. They would be sitting out somewhere, talking!
