Before one of the very best of these our guide stopped. "Here lives the Seraph ." It was a domicile of most promising appearance, surrounded by a garden, and in every respect snug and unexceptionable. We had so lived in hopes of finding this house, and so thoroughly made up our minds to stop therein, that we were nearly riding at once into the enclosure as if we had been invited and expected.
"Monsieur, I think you forget that you are speaking to the wife of your kinsman and your friend." The Marquis threw out his hands in a gesture which was theatrical, though the trouble that wrung his countenance seemed very real. He was, as one has said, a slight, fair man, with the face of an ecclesiastic and the eyes of an aging seraph.
Then he repented of his speech for just the length of time that Lew, looking like a Seraph in red worsted embellishments, took the place of one of the trumpets in hospital and rendered the echo of a battle-piece. Lew certainly was a musician, and had often in his more exalted moments expressed a yearning to master every instrument of the Band.
"Heroism! talk of Spartan boys, they are not in it! A woman will endure martyrdom with the expression of a seraph, an extremely aggravating seraph. She looks after her soul as if it were the ultimate fact of the universe. She will trim and preen that ridiculous soul, though the heavens fall and the rest of her sex perish." "Come now, I think there are exceptions." "A few, but very few.
"The sweet seraph!" said I. "What a cruel idea! Are you not a little severe, Dr. John?" And now I paused. For the second time that night I was going beyond myself venturing out of what I looked on as my natural habits speaking in an unpremeditated, impulsive strain, which startled me strangely when I halted to reflect.
"Offered on the altar of the Jews!" laughed the Seraph, as he turned him away from the breakfast table by the shoulders. "Thanks, Beauty; I've 'four figures' on you, and you'll be good enough to win them for me. Let's have a look at the King. They are just going to walk him over."
It was true that the distorted image of the moon floated dimly in the Pool, as though it had indeed been caught by the mad-woman, and drowned. "How soft the ground is!" breathed Angel. "Ay, and the Pool has no bottom," said the lamplighter. "I can't think she'd have the heart to do it," said Martindale. The Seraph screamed. "There she is! I see her! Standing in the Pool!" We ran to the brink.
They exchanged it with averted eyes. It embarrassed them. There are moments for all of us when we seem obliged to speak in a new unprofitable tongue. One might fancy a seraph, vexed with our normal language, who touches the pious to blasphemy, the blasphemous to piety.
One may give too many extracts, and there is scant room for the extraordinary witchery of the midnight sea and sky, where the dead and the distraught drift wandering, "And the great ocean, like the holy hall, Where slept a Seraph host maritimal, Was gorgeous with wings of diamond" it was a sea "Of radiant and moon-breasted emerald." There follows another song
One glance at them showed that some of the big items had been left out. 'Here, this won't do, I cried. 'Give me back the right set. This thing's no good to me.
