With the utmost license of ill-nature, they could not suppose that Lord and Lady Montfort, living under the same roof, might scarcely see each other for weeks, and that his communications with her, and indeed generally, were always made in writing. Lady Monfort never could agree with her husband in the cardinal assumption of his philosophy.
"She is a very pretty girl, and I don't wonder at Claude's infatuation. The old man is rich, too; it will answer very well, I think. What do you say, Mr. Monfort." "Well, really, I think Claude could scarcely do better," rejoined my ever literal father. "She is an admirable young person, pious, and discreetly brought up and yes, quite pretty, certainly. Let us drink to his success in that quarter.
Claude was absent most of this time on business, for a firm with which he had lately connected himself, and on the few occasions of his presence at Monfort Hall treated me with marked formality. Evelyn had affected to make light of Mr. Bainrothe's outrage toward me, though far from defending him.
A woman should bear every thing but infidelity of heart for the man she loves every thing!" "I am sorry to hear you say so," she replied, somewhat coldly. "There is a great deal more than blind affection needful for a woman's happiness, Miss Monfort so experience tells us.
There are persons who are singularly tenacious of their possessions, and who number their bondsmen as a principal portion of their property. Beware how you anger such! Your father too. He would be conciliated now, by what would once have incensed him. Evelyn Erie is rich, Miriam Monfort is poor; why need I add another word? The suggestion is perfect." Coldly, silently, angrily, he left the room.
Of her operas, "Susanna Monfort," "Magdalena," and "Eine Heimfahrt," have been frequently performed. Elise Schmezer has composed the opera "Otto der Schütz," besides a number of songs. Thekla Griebel has had her opera, "Schön Karen," produced twice within recent years. Elise Bachmann published a melodrama, "Die Macht der Musik," also some songs and piano pieces in popular vein.
She shook me slightly, and I rose in my bed with a start and shudder, admirably simulated, I fancied, and which completely deceived her evidently. "I am sorry to have startled you so," she said, hurriedly, "but where is Dinah, Miss Monfort, and how did she get out?" "I really cannot inform you where she is," I answered, petulantly.
"I do, indeed, and I am sure I am much obliged to you, Miss Monfort; though, for that matter, you can never say, even when you come to your own again which you will now do shortly that I have not been considerate and attentive to you while in confinement." "You need not be afraid of any complaint as far as you are concerned. I think I comprehend you and your motives by this time.
It is a comfort to me, I confess, as I lie here, to feel that I have never willingly injured a fellow-being; to think that I but, bless my soul, Miss Monfort, you must not hold me down in that way! you would not, I trust. But even if you did no key this time, the door is fast without!" "Oh, not for worlds! be still, the pain will pass. I have the gift, you know, of soothing physical suffering.
"Oh, you do Keats injustice. Have you studied him, Miss Monfort?" "Studied poetry? What an idea! No, but I have tried to read him, and failed. I think he had a very crude, chaotic mind indeed; I like more clearness." "Clearness and shallowness most often go together," he observed. "When you see the pebbles at the bottom of a stream, most likely its waters are not deep."
