Then the pleasant gallery, with its great lantern to light their expectant faces!" Wurm's eyes strayed again wistfully to his shelves. Flint stayed him. "And so you think that it is possible to see life completely in a mirror." "By no means," Wurm returned. "We must see it both ways. Nor am I, as you infer, in any sense like the Lady of Shalott. A great book cannot be compared to a mirror.
She has written a piano quintette and a string quartette, besides short cantatas and the usual lesser pieces for violin, piano, and voice. Marie Wurm, born at Southampton in 1860, is a successful pianist as well as composer. Her concerto in B minor is highly praised for excellent workmanship, originality, and melodic strength and charm.
"I rather like to think of that interior decorator littering up his dining-room every night clamps and glue-pots on the sideboard hardly room for the sugar-bowl lumber underneath and then bringing out a new boat in the spring." Wurm looked up from the couch. "Stevenson," he said, "should have known that fellow. He would have found him a place among his Lantern Bearers." Flint continued.
"Divinity genius the Swiss Alps The Battle of Hexham what have they to do with Quill's shack out in Jersey or Colum's dirty birdhouses? You jump the track, Wurm. When everybody is heading for the main tent, you keep running to the side-shows." Quill, the journalist, joined the banter. "You remind me, Wurm I hate to say it of what a sea captain once said to me when I tried to loan him a book.
By this innocent device he is popular with his landlady and she skims the milk for him. Wurm rapped his pipe bowl on the arm of his chair. "You must be like Antæus," he replied. "Like what?" asked Flint. "Antæus the fellow who wrestled with Hercules. Each time that Antæus was thrown against the earth his strength was doubled.
The miser lies buried in yonder churchyard; Israel Wurm, a new man, has risen in his place; and as far as my means go, I intend that this shall be a happy new year to every one of my acquaintances." Israel was as good as his word, and never relapsed into his old habits. The widow and the orphan children were provided for by his bounty; he gave liberally to every object of charity.
Muller and others no longer approved of her, and Frau Wurm had said openly, "that although the girl had done her best to learn how to keep a house, her heart had never been in the business and she was not schwärmerisch to German people or German ways!"
"Perhaps I can find the story," said Wurm, his eye running toward the bookshelves. "Don't bother," said Flint. There was now another speaker Flannel Shirt, as we called him who had once been sated with formal dinners and society, and is now inclined to cry them down. He leans a bit toward socialism and free verse.
"Yes, I have two cousins; one in the Flying Corps and one in a submarine." "Ach so! That is most interesting. Some day you will tell me all about them, will you not? I like to hear about submarines." "Very well," said Sophy, who was busy mixing a pudding according to an elaborate German recipe. "Yes, you are getting on," admitted Frau Wurm patronisingly.
"I don't think there is anything mysterious about neuralgia." "Oh, yes, there is," rejoined Frau Wurm, lowering her voice; "we often talk it over and wonder. Long ago she was as others; now she is different, and seems but half awake always so jaded and feeble and vague. There was only one who understood the case that was Fernanda, and she has gone away, ach so!"
