I want to go to boarding-school, and learn something. Emily is going to Monticello after Christmas. Pa, will you let me?" Mr. Carvel winced. He put an arm around her. He, thought of his lonely widowerhood, of her whose place Virginia had taken. "And what shall I do?" he said, trying to smile. "It will only be for a little while. And Monticello isn't very far, Pa."
"I don't want to go to balls all my life. I want to go to boarding-school, and learn something. Emily is going to Monticello after Christmas. Pa, will you let me?" Mr. Carvel winced. He put an arm around her. He, thought of his lonely widowerhood, of her whose place Virginia had taken. "And what shall I do?" he said, trying to smile. "It will only be for a little while.
Later in his bewildered and almost ludicrous widowerhood tears would sometimes galumph down on his daughter's face as Henry rocked her of evenings and Sunday mornings. "Sweet-beautiful," came so absurdly from under his swiftly graying mustache, but often, when sure he was quite alone, he would say it over and over again. "Sweet-beautiful. Ann-Elizabeth. Sweet-beautiful. Ann-Elizabeth."
As he was a man of quiet and regular habits, and of a simple and affectionate disposition, and had nothing to disturb the even tenor of his life, Monsieur de Loubancourt suffered more than most men do from his widowerhood.
"Talk to me no more of it." Her husband cared less for her life than did Margaret herself. He took no interest in the inquiry set on foot to ascertain the truth of the charges against the princess, and was more than ready to turn to a new alliance. At the date of his widowerhood he was in Dauphiné and his own choice for a wife was Charlotte, daughter of the Duke of Savoy.
He talked freely of his dead wife, he even made ill-placed jests about his widowerhood, and he never failed to kiss a pair of red lips when the chance offered; but, for all that, his gaze often wandered past the huge sycamore to the family graveyard, where rank periwinkle grew and mocking-birds nested.
He kept house woman fashion not, however, in the manner of an ordinary woman, but after the manner of his late wife, Miranda Bunker, now dead some seven years. Like his friend, Captain Cephas, he had had the assistance of his female neighbors during the earlier days of his widowerhood.
My dear Smith I appeal to your own noble feelings, as a husband and a Christian, if you thought Mrs Smith a little too fond of Cassio or any other lieutenant, if you even found she had given him one of your best handkerchiefs to make him a nightcap nay, if you had determined even to achieve widowerhood with your own hands, would you take the instrument Othello uses for the purpose?
