Life is such a strange thing, so many beginnings and so few endings. But the theatre is hardly the place for melancholy meditations, and she is sitting in the stalls of the L . Mabel on one side, Paul Ponsonby on the other; the latter has become deeply interested in Philippa, and wonders what sort of a woman she will become a coquette, a flirt? He glances at her fair, childish face and sighs.
"I wish to God we were better at the endings," he added, bitterly. "If these Athole and Antrim caterans have the secret of our passes, we may be rats in a trap before the morn's morning." The hall emptied quickly, a commotion of folks departing rose in the courtyard, and candle and torch moved about.
Life, we are told, is full of incompletion, of broken destinies, of failures, of romances that begin but do not end, of ambitions and purposes frustrated, of love crossed, of unhappy issues, or a resultless play of influences. Well, but life is full, also, of endings, of the results in concrete action of character, of completed dramas.
Perhaps he would go away altogether from Rushbrook, unable to bear the sight of his rival's happiness. And this was to be the ending of Lily's dream! But it is best not to be too certain about endings and beginnings; they look so like each other sometimes, and are apt to be so oddly mixed up in our lives. When you are thoroughly heart-sick and hopeless, dress is quite an unimportant thing.
I sat down and considered the matter. Crocodiles had always terrified me more than any created thing, and to be dragged by iron jaws to death in that hideous stream seemed to me the most awful of endings. Yet cross it I must if I were to get rid of my human enemies. I remembered a story of an escaped prisoner during the war who had only the Komati River between him and safety.
'Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, prayed one of the later psalmists; 'let them that hate Him flee before Him. We, too, in circumstances so different, may take up the immortal though ancient words, on which no dimming rust of antiquity has encrusted itself, and may, at the beginnings and the endings of all our efforts and of each of our days, and at the beginning and ending of life itself, offer this old prayer the prayer which asked for a divine presence in the incipiency of our efforts, and the prayer which asked for a divine presence in the completion of our work and in the rest that remaineth.
Does the dramatic interest of 'The Winter's Tale' suffer because the plot is of less importance than the incidents and characters. The versification is that of Shakespeare's latest group of plays. Dowden says, "No five-measure lines are rhymed and run on lines, and double endings are numerous."
From the vine-covered pergola where they lunched they beheld the distant sea like a lavender haze across the flats. And Honora wondered whether there were not an element of truth in what Mr. Dewing said of their hostess that she thought nothing immoral except novels with happy endings. Chiltern did not talk much: he looked at Honora.
"And after that?" queried Morris. "Oh, after that, honour and glory and wealth and power and the happy ending. Doesn't it sound nice?" "Ye es, in a way. But," he added with energy, "it won't come off. No, not the aerophones, they are right enough I believe, but all the rest of it." "Why not?" "Because it is too much. 'Happy endings' don't come off.
How to decide upon the best method of teaching, &c.? But I must try to be patient, and to be content with very small beginnings and endings, too, perhaps. 'Sunday, Feb. 24, St. Matthias, 10 A.M.
