We have here to note, however, that the facts collected and provisionally arranged in conformity with Werner's theory, served, after a time, to establish Hutton's more rational theory in so far, at least, as aqueous formations are concerned; while the doctrine of periodic subterranean convulsions, crudely as it was conceived by Hutton, was a temporary generalization needful as a step towards the theory of igneous action.
The landlady, a summer widow, blushed, and as he was stepping from the room, called him aside. 'I thought you were one of that dreadful Werner's band, and I hate him. Guy undeceived her. 'He took my sister, she went on, 'and his cruelty killed her. He persecuted me even in the lifetime of my good man.
He was positively in a hurry. What if some undergraduate should get an introduction to Eva some gay and handsome Adonis and should suddenly carry away her heart? So when Mr Kennedy went into the sick-room to read to Edward the lessons for the day, and Julian stayed with Eva in the sitting-room, he drew his chair beside hers, and they began to talk about Saint Werner's.
They made a rapid pass-muster of the principal characters in Zacharias Werner's pieces, and then came to the same conclusion that in every case there was a certain element of the strange and singular, and often of the commonplace, mingled with the truly great, the grandly tragic which seemed to indicate that the author had never come to any really clear seeing of his heroes, and that he was doubtless deficient in that absolute health and soundness of the inner mind which Lothair considered indispensible to every writer of tragedy.
And not a few of these lessons he owed to his college, to its directing influence, its ennobling associations, its studies all bent towards that which is permanent and eternal, not to the transitory and superficial. To the latest day of his life, the name of Saint Werner's remained to Julian Home an incentive to all that is noble and manly in human effort.
"Oui autrefois; mais nous avons change tout cela." Moliere. Bruce was disgusted with his second class in the Saint Werner's May examination. He had quite flattered himself that he could not fail to be among the somewhat large number who annually obtained the pleasant and easy distinction of a first.
Werner's men were well content to let their master fight it out. The words spoken by Henker Rothhals, that the Devil had forsaken him, seemed in their minds confirmed by the weird song which every one present could swear he heard with his ears. 'Let him take his chance, and try his own luck, they said, and shrugged. The battle was between Guy, as Margarita's champion, and Werner.
Werner thought little of Haydn: he regarded him as an adventurer and musical frivol; but Haydn, as became the bigger man, esteemed Werner. There does not seem to have been any friction; Haydn was always shrewd enough to avoid friction, which means wasted energy, and the problem, if problem it was, of double mastership was solved by Werner's death on March 5, 1766.
Who possessed such amazing callousness that an exhibition of this sort brought no outcry? "Now" Kennedy glanced around in the dim light, switched on between the running of the different strips "I'm going to project the banquet scenes and show you the manner of Werner's death." Scene after scene of the banquet flashed before us.
"I fancy," he said in half-voice, "that presently we shall see little flames issuing from their hair, as there used from the hair of the ladies in Werner's ballets." Then as Balator leaned toward him in his splendid leisure, fostering his charm, there came an amazing interruption.
