The morning after he popped into the young man's study, to the lasting detriment of a triolet. "We can prove it," he exclaimed. "Gad! We can prove it!" Graves regretfully dropped a blotter over his manuscript and advanced a chair. "I've suspected that there were men in this town who could lay Shelby by the heels, were they to tell all they knew. The problem was to draw them."
Her thoughts, or that brief glance Apollo was a god, good to look upon had so warmed her cheeks that the refrain of the Triolet was almost justified. The lines of anxious care were smoothed from the forehead, and the half-smile of the new-drawn Cupid's bow was a little tremulous. A sudden determination moved La Mothe.
"I mean there is only one Neapolitan ice left." "Well, bring that. I don't really want one." He watched Mrs. Glamorys daintily devouring the solitary ice, and felt a certain pathos about the parti-coloured oblong, a something of the haunting sadness of "The Last Rose of Summer." It would make a graceful, serio-comic triolet, he was thinking.
Or one might make the words the Backbone of a triolet, only one would have to split them up to fit it into the metre; or one might make it the decisive line in a sonnet; or one might make a pretty little lyric of it, to the tune of 'Madame la Marquise' 'Huit francs et dix centimes, Tra la la, la la la.
Just to show you, I wrote half a dozen jokes last night for the comic weeklies; and just as I was going to bed, the thought struck me to try my hand at a triolet a humorous one; and inside an hour I had written four. They ought to be worth a dollar apiece. Four dollars right there for a few afterthoughts on the way to bed."
There are indeed some great men who write twistedly simply because they cannot help it, but their honesty is proved by the mass they turn out. What do you turn out, you higglers and sticklers? Perhaps a bad triolet every six months, and a book of criticism on something thoroughly threadbare once in five years. If I had my way LECTOR. I am sorry to have provoked all this. AUCTOR. Not at all!
