She looked up, thinking of the happy long day's walk with her brother to the Styrian Baths. Pleasure in the sight made her face shine superbly. 'A flying Switzerland, Mr. Woodseer says, she replied. 'England is beautiful on days like these. For walking, I think the English climate very good.
He fronted Woodseer with square shoulders and wide knees, an elbow on one, a fist on the other, engaged in what he termed the 'prodding of his eel, or 'nicking of his man, a method of getting straight at the riddle of the fellow by the test of how long he could endure a flat mute stare and return look for look unblinking. The act of smoking fortifies and partly covers the insolence.
'Escort him back! said he, nodding. He remarked to Woodseer: 'With your permission, concerning the seat he took, and that 'a draught of morning air would do him good. Then he laughed politely, exchanged wavy distant farewells with his comrades, touched a breast-pocket for his case of cigars, pulled forth one, obtained 'the loan of a light, blew clouds and fell into the anticipated composure, quite understanding the case and his office.
For if we are human creatures with consciences, nothing is more certain than that we make our taskmasters of those to whom we have done a wrong, the philosopher says. Between Lord Feltre and Gower Woodseer, influenced pretty equally by each of them, this young nobleman was wakening to the claims of others Youth's infant conscience.
The letter posted and flying, Lord Fleetwood was kinder to Chumley Potts; he had a friendly word for Gower Woodseer; though both were heathens, after their diverse fashions, neither of them likely ever to set out upon the grand old road of Rome: Lord Feltre's 'Appian Way of the Saints and Comforters.
And there is worthier stuff to remember; stuff to nourish: Feltre's 'wisdom of our fathers, rightly named Religion. More in the country, when he traversed sweep and rise of open land, Carinthia's image began to shine, and she threw some of her light on Madge, who made Woodseer appear tolerable, sagacious, absurdly enviable, as when we have the fit to wish we were some four-foot.
Woodseer passed him, slouching a bow. The circular stare of Sir Meeson seemed unable to contract. He directed it on Lord Fleetwood, and was then reminded that he dealt with prickles. 'Where have you been? he said, blinking to refresh his eyeballs. 'I missed you, I ran round and round the town after you. 'I have been to the lake. 'Queer fish there! Sir Meeson dropped a glance on the capture.
And Henrietta and Owain, Lady Arpington, Gower Woodseer, all the world Carinthia shuddered at the world's blank eye on what it directs for the acquiescence of the woman. That shred of herself she would become, she felt herself becoming it when the view of her career beside her brother waned.
He said to Woodseer, savagely, as it sounded: 'You shall have something to joint your bones! What cause of wrath he had was past a guess: a wolf at his vitals bit him, hardening his handsome features. The waiter darted back, bearing a tray and tall glasses filled each with piled parti-coloured liqueurs, on the top of which an egg-yolk swam. Fleetwood gave example.
Run, tell Mr. Woodseer I wish him to join us, Livia said, and Sir Meeson had to thank his tramp for a second indignity. He protested, he simulated remonstrance, he had to go, really feeling a sickness.
