In a musing mood, Roland Graeme upon the ensuing morning betook himself to the battlements of the Castle, as a spot where he might indulge the course of his thick-coming fancies with least chance of interruption. But his place of retirement was in the present case ill chosen, for he was presently joined by Mr. Elias Henderson.
Now she met him in the wood, now at the castle gate, now in the kitchen by candle-light; each fresh presentment eclipsed the one before; a form so elegant, manners so sedate, a countenance so brave and comely, a voice so winning and resolute sure such a man was never seen! The thick-coming fancies poured and brightened in her head like the smoke and flames upon the hearth.
While I thus sat, I heard footsteps quick and eager echoing behind, and Richard Clyde bounded down the slope and threw himself on the ground at my side. "Thank heaven," he exclaimed, "I have found you, Gabriella, and found you alone!" His manner was hurried and agitated, his eyes had a wild expression, and tossing aside his hat, he wiped thick-coming drops of perspiration from his forehead.
De Stancy and his groomsman a brother officer slept at the former residence. De Stancy was a sorry specimen of a bridegroom when he met his sister in the morning. Thick-coming fancies, for which there was more than good reason, had disturbed him only too successfully, and he was as full of apprehension as one who has a league with Mephistopheles.
On being told that his attendance was equally desired by a fugitive negro, he recoiled for a moment from what he might have to hear. When he entered the tent, he found Toussaint alone, on the ground, his bosom bursting with deep and thick-coming sobs, "How is this, my son?" said the priest. "Is this grief, or is it penitence?" "I am free," said Toussaint, "and I am an oppression to myself.
I pressed my hand upon my wet forehead, to keep down the thick-coming fancies, and determined, for the first time in my life, to hold a deliberate consultation with myself. I was in an awkward predicament it was impossible to deny the fact; but was there anything really serious in the case?
There was the less excuse for the Vicomtesse, because M. de Beauseant is a well-bred man of the world, who would have been quite ready to listen to reason. But his wife is quite mad " and so forth and so forth. M. de Nueil, still listening to the speaker's voice, gathered nothing of the sense of the words; his brain was too full of thick-coming fancies. Fancies?
The magic brush, light flying flights of song To these, but not to these alone, belong My pages fair; Often to me, my mistress' pencil steals To tell the secret gladness that she feels, The hidden care. And when her fingers, slowlier at the last, Of a rich Future, now become the Past, Seek count of me, Oh Love, when swift, thick-coming memories rise, I pray of Thee.
Yet, even then, I have checked thick-coming fears with one thought; I would not fear death, for the emotions that linked us must be immortal. "And now I do not fear death. I should be well pleased to close my eyes, never more to open them again.
Being troubled with thick-coming fancies, and a slight palpitation of the heart, I have been reading the Chronicle of the Good Knight Messire Jacques de Lalain curious, but dull, from the constant repetition of the same species of combats in the same style and phrase. It is like washing bushels of sand for a grain of gold.
