She looked then like a pretty Vivien manipulating a youthful Merlin; and I was not at all surprised at the effect of her "woven paces and her waving hands." She asked him his name, and he told her. It was W . "No," she said, "it's Jones. Mary Jones. What's your name?" But the youth was not quite so far gone as to rebaptize himself with a female cognomen just yet.
It's curious she wasn't here At least I didn't see her this afternoon. She's a friend of my wife's. I knew her when she was at Newnham. She had a great friend what was it? Violet? No, Vera? Vivien yes that was it, Vivien Warren. Of course! Why that business she started for women in the City somewhere is called Fraser and Warren. She was always wanting to bring this Vivien Warren here.
Thackeray, who admired the Idylls so enthusiastically, might have recognised in Vivien a character not unlike some of his own, as dark as Becky Sharp, more terrible in her selfishness than that Beatrix Esmond who is still a paragon, and, in her creator's despite, a queen of hearts.
After this they repaired to the Palace, and the wedding of Prince Vivien and Princess Placida was held at once with all the splendour imaginable.
"Say no more," said Claude, gently as he fondly caressed her waving curls. "And you are sure that you fully forgive me?" asked Vivien, gazing at him entreatingly with dewy eyes of heavenly blue. "Almost sure, little one," answered Claude, stooping and lightly touching her snowy forehead with his lips. "I'll let you know later on.
There's a notice on his door asking that any letters or telegrams should be left here, so I thought Miss Vivien might know." She looked me up and down, with a faint air of suspicion. "'E's away in 'is boat," she said shortly. "'E won't be back not till Thursday." So Tommy still kept up his sailing! This at least was news, and news which had a rather special interest for me.
Before Merlin passed from the world of men, imprisoned in the great stone by the evil arts of Vivien, he had uttered many marvellous prophecies, and one that boded ill to King Arthur; for he foretold that, in the days to come, a son of Arthur's sister should stir up bitter war against the King, and at last a great battle should be fought in the West, when many a brave knight should find his doom.
I suppose the truth, the commonplace truth is, that rather late in life, Vivien Warren has fallen in love in the old-fashioned way How Nature mocks at us! and now sees things somewhat differently. At any rate, David and Vivie, fused into one personality, are going abroad for a protracted period ... going out of your life, my dearest, for it is better so.
One was Captain Frank Gardner, who owned a big ranch in Rhodesia, and er the other oh no! no relation was Miss Warren.... "What, one of the Warrens of Huddersfield? Well, I never! And where did you pick her up? Strange she shouldn't have written to me she was coming up to town! I could " "No, this is a Miss Vivien Warren " "Vivien? How curious, why that is the name of the Adams's little girl "
To think of Vivien Nelson, a farmer's daughter, hevin' a fur-lined coat which cost almost as much as Eudora's! It is really disgraceful! I'm sure her father could give more to the Church than he does, an' yit he'll let us hear the brunt of the burden." "Guess he'll hev to bear mor'n ever now," replied her husband as he rose from the table.
