As the heroic poems of Blackmore are now little read, it is thought proper to insert, as a specimen from "Prince Arthur," the song of Mopas mentioned by Molyneux: "But that which Arthur with most pleasure heard Were noble strains, by Mopas sung the bard, Who to his harp in lofty verse began, And through the secret maze of Nature ran.
And, after all, why not? The thoroughly selfish man is the only person logically who has the slightest chance of happiness." "It is true," Molyneux murmured. "Delightfully true." "Lord Arranmore is always either cynical or paradoxical," Sybil Caroom declared. "He really says the most unpleasant things with the greatest appearance of truth of any man I know."
"Those Scotch boys are very ... h-healthy, Nestie, and I am not sure whether you are quite ... fit for their ... habits. There is a master, too, called ... Bulldog, and I am afraid " and Mr. Molyneux looked wistfully at his boy. "Why, pater, you are very n-naughty, and don't d-deserve two lumps of sugar," for ever since they were alone he had taken his mother's place and poured out the tea.
"Catherine," he said, "I think if I were you that I would not marry Sybil to Molyneux. It struck me to-day that his eyeglass-chain was of last year's pattern, and I am not sure that he is sound on the subject of collars. You know how important these things are to a young man who has to make his own way in the world.
"This company," Lord Arranmore remarked lightly, "is hostile to me. Let us go and play pool." Lady Caroom rose up promptly. Molyneux groaned audibly. "You shall play me at billiards instead," she declared. "I used to give you a good game once, and I have played a great deal lately. Ring for Annette, will you, Sybil? She has my cue." Sybil Caroom made room for Brooks by her side.

From that day, when Robert Molyneux led the woman over the threshold of his house, he was seen no more in the usual places of his fellow-men.

"Sure, the world's divided into two classes," he said "the people who are always wanting to see the doctor, and the people who won't see him at all. Supposing I were to pay my respects to Lord St. Leger it would be hardly polite to go away without doing it."

Harry Molyneux can not trust his voice to speak of him yet; and other beautiful eyes besides La Mignonne's were dim with tears when they read a certain death-gazette. Truly, "great men have fallen in Israel," and saints have departed in the plentitude of sanctity, without winning such wealth of regrets as was lavished on the grave of that strong sinner.
In the centre of the broad stream, whose southern arm is not visible, are three islets. The western most, backed by a long, grassy, palm-tasselled bank, is called Zunga chya Bundika.
