In England, where no plaids were worn, the ladies used vizard masks for the same purpose, and the gallants drew the skirts of their cloaks over the right shoulder, so as to cover part of the face.
"Do you know he has raised the country against me, and has warrants out against me for forgery, because I was taken in by a rogue who gave me bills with sham names on them, and I got Vizard to cash them? As soon as we found out how I had been tricked, my uncle and I offered at once to pay him back his money. But no! he prefers to keep the bills as a weapon." Zoe began to be puzzled a little.
For who is so blind, that he seeth not these men be the masters, by whom the people, as saith Hierom, hath been led into error and lulled asleep? Or who sooth not Rome, that is their Nineveh, which sometime was painted with fairest colours, but now, her vizard being palled off, is both better seen and less set by?
Vizard did not yet quite realize the truth that this Bohemian had in his heart one holy spot his pure devotion and unsexual friendship for that great artist. Still, his prejudices were disarmed, and he said, "Well, Mr. Ashmead, excuse my cross-questioning you. I will now give myself the pleasure of setting your anxieties at rest. Mademoiselle Klosking is in this house."
"How good you are!" said he; "but no. It is Sunday." "Sunday!" ejaculated Vizard. "What is that to you, a fellow who has been years abroad?" "I can't help it," said Severne, apologetically. "I am superstitious don't like to do business on a Sunday. I would not even shunt at the tables on a Sunday I don't think." "Ah, you are not quite sure of that. There is a limit to your superstition!
If I had twelve thousand acres in a ring fence, no friend would ask me twice for such a trifling sum." Vizard, for the first time, wore a supercilious smile at being so misunderstood, and did not deign a reply. Severne went on mistaking his man: "I can give you bills for the money, and for the three hundred you did lend me." Vizard did not receive this as expected. "Bills?" said he, gravely.
If this delightful chatterbox had been taken down shorthand and printed, and Vizard had been set down to Severni Opuscula, ten volumes and, mind you, Severne had talked all ten by this time the Barfordshire squire and old Oxonian would have cried out for "more matter with less art," and perhaps have even fled for relief to some shorter treatise Bacon's "Essays," Browne's "Religio Medici," or Buckle's "Civilization."
On me, on me as German Emperor, the Spirit of God has descended. I am His weapon, His sword, and His vizard! Woe to the disobedient! Death to cowards and unbelievers! There has been nothing like it since the days of Mahomet.
Ina explained, in a voice that was now feeble, "I was a public character; my marriage was public: not like the clandestine union which is all he dared offer to this well-born lady." "The Bavarian and French ministers are both in London," said Vizard, eagerly. "We can easily learn if these signatures are forged, like your acceptances."
There, too, was the wash-leather face, and other traits Vizard professed to know an actress's lover by. Yes, it was the very man at sight of whom he had fought down his admiration of La Klosking, and declined an introduction to her. Vizard knew the lady better now.
