HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton News-Record, 1898-07-14, Page 6h P I ..&., It was at Charing Cross Station, where I called to make some inquiries, and I knew her instantly though she was veiled. She recognized me also, and returned my greeting with a warmth which I hoped was not alto- gether due to the fact that I was able to extricate her from a human eddy in which she was entangled. I forgot all about the time' table and turned book, delighted that the tush of the preoccupied crowd around us gave an excuse to keep her little silk - gloved hand upon my arm. She had been seeing Cousin Phil and his wife riff', she said, and was now, I guessed, returning to the desolate house in (Bloomsbury Square. The picture call- ed up by the thought was so poignant that I proposed a visit to Westminster Abbey. She appeared a shade surpris- ed–I certainly was myself–and then agreed with V. little sigh, which plainly said: "As well there Ess any- where else." But once she accepted my companionship by stepping into the hansom I called, she made, I could see, a distinct effort to take interest in the multicolored life swirling by. "The abbey is the first place one think of visiting when one is away," she observed, "and yet, when one is at home, it is so near that you keep deferring the visit from day to day, and I am leaving town to -morrow Papa meant –" She did not finish the sentence, but added: "It is so kind of you to give your time." "I am a man of leisure," said I, dryly, "Papa was always .in a hurry," she went on, and then stopped again. All roads of conversation led to her fa- ther, and Death had written "No thoroughfare" across every one. "Better wear out than rust out," said I, considerately, "though the best of us but write their names on waL- er, after all. A very consoling reflec- tion, eflextion for the idlers." "Yes, if everything ended here," she replied as the cab pulled up and the great gray temple loomed above us. If time be duration set out by meas- ure, 'my watch was of opinion that we spent two hours here; my consciousness however, has nothing definite to say on the matter, "the endvn'anee of all enduring things" not being painfully prominent. Neitherl do I remember having shone among the tombs. On one thing, at least, I am quite clear-, it is when we came out I was de- cidedly hungry, so artfully piloting my charge past a restaurant, I sug- gested lunch., Here again a lacuna occurs, for I had no distinct recollection of the ear- lier stages of the banquet save the other fact that her mode of eating and drinking forced me to make compari- sons which would have brought me slowly to say senses had not the un- forseen, which had such a 'trick of happening, done so with paralyzing promptitude. Her little hunting watch had run down, but the officious cuckoo be- longing to the restaurant clock spoke so plainly that the young girl almost jumped, from ;ber chair. "Oh, 'Mr. Patterson," she cried, 'what shall I do ? I was to call Upon Mr. Turnbull– he is my guardian, you know–about papa's will at half -past 2, and now it is a quarter pastl" "Where, does he live?" I asked. "In t* city," she replied des'Cairing- ly, "and,rooh, he' is so precise, and there must 'be delays–you'don't know him I" I did, having met" him in his profes- sional capacity %some years before, when' I was a wi t ness for the defence. "We'll drive there' at, once 1" I cried royally, putting'my hand in my pock- et while she fumbled for her glove. Then an awful fact struck me; my purse was ,gone. I suppose my conster- nation got into my face, for I caught the eye of the polyglot waiter fixed upon me, He was tall, and, I doubt not, swift of foot, and as he smiled thinly T could see that, be had lost one front tooth and all his illusions. I p tl my hat on and took it off again. At itnothert ime, in another place, the incident would have Ibef?ir merely laughable, but now, with her l I hni been so blase, so mildly cynical I Oh, it was unthinkable 1 I moved toward the' counter which was near the door, shadowed by the waiter, who was men- tally calling the police, and approach- i Ing the lady Ln charge explained the', sit nation. Shie was a German frau of spotless morals, and she listened calm- ly to my tale, the cold contempt of a narrow, literal nature glinting in her small eyes. The comedy of 1 ho situation (lid not strike her. .She only saw that I had no money, "Dey pay, dose --ho -eat here; dose are de rifles," she reiterated, declining even to ex- amine the ring .I offered, "as a guarantee of good faith." The waiter, who had been fielding in the immediate vicinity, advanced and asked rine if I had lost. anything. I inquired for the proprietor, but by some hideous ill -luck he was not ac- cessible. I ,saw Miss Langton who had gone to the door, looking back, evi- dently surprised at the delay. 'Then the, storm burst.. The German was im- penetrable; the waiter passed rapid- ly from ldgitimate doubt to open skep- ticism as I tendered my card, which was not a trump one, and seeing that we, all talked together, the effect was very striking'. ' Excuse me," remarked a thin, crisp voice, "it is a little trouble about i.he bill, is it not?" Miss Langton, I shall be with you in a m,)menta don't, he alarmed." Of course it was old 'Turnbull, who ought to have been miles away, and clad been lunching here all the time instead. I bowed, ho looked me in the face, Iliad I understood that, he remem- bered the last occasion, on which we bad met. I realized his terrible, "Now, upon your oath, sir,l" as I at coil clutch- ing the edge of the witness stand, a bit of court plaster over one eye, "Yowl are doubtless a%varA that. Miss Langton is my ward?" he observed, when he had appeased the Teuton apbinx. I learned it.," I replied. "Permit me to congratulate you 1" "Anel you will also learn now," he retorted, abutting his pocketbook with a snap, "that I wish the acquaintitinco to end hero," "Om what grounds?" said I, "•If on no other than that, of the present. --er– disgraceful scene, I iahould be justified, he answered; "but forbid it. on -ahem 1 higher grounds." Tlwn, he began 10 talk, "as one man of the world to another;' about Ar- buscula and her sisters. He was illo- gical but. convincing. "Whatis the amount. of The bill?" I asked s'hori ly. Ii•' handed me the receipted slip of paper; I put It in my pocket. He amillsd sardonically, and gathering up hili black bag, went out to Miss Lang- ton, while the waiter hailed a cab by whistling through his fingers to a most talented way. Beyond the glass door I could see Turnbull talking to Miss Langton, as ah(i roarrangod her veil; some girls at an adjacent table put their Iteads to- getlter, %%hispetiug and titte The chariot pulled up at the sido%val itb a; flourish, and 'Turnbull touched Miss Langton's arm. She made a step forward, but looked round and paus- ed irresolutely. I instantly went to her; and taking the little warm baud she, gave .me, pressed it to my lips. "I am sorry you were inconven- ieuced," she said, "if I had only known -" And she actually laughed l "I ahall easily get over the recol- lection of the inconvenience Ln the recollection of .the pleasure i have had," I replied. S1i(1 blushed. ",131ut why did ,you not tell met" she murmured. "It would have been commonplace," I replied; "I preferred to Lie a pala- din, though a comic one," "I don't think it comic at all," she replied, trying hard not to smile. "What attupid people t" "Miss Langton, as this gentleman is rather richer in time than I, per- haps he will exomse us if we econum- ize," remarked Mr. Turnbull. "Here is the cab, get in, please," She throw me a bright look, and went with him. Recollecting that I was without my hat, I returned for it, an* found on the ground hard by a litt.lq black silk glove. 1 picked it up intending to return it, but when I reached the street the cab was al- ready several yards away. Then the lawyer's talk ca.,me, back too me with diabolical distinctness, and I said to myself that after all he was right, I -ont straight to my bankers', sent him' the amount of the bill, answered a perfumed, badly spelled note I had received that morning, locked the glove with the photo away in it draw - or, and took the next train fur Marls. MEMORY OF PETER THE GREAT. Ilow the Great tzar is Werehtped In th Rnsvlan I:ntptre. Peter has become ttlmost a cult in Russia. Go to Lis cottage on the banks of the Neva on to Russian holi- day, and you will have to fall into queue and squeeze your way into his little rooms, ostensibly to kiss it holy picture, %rut. this holy picture is mixed up in the Russian's mind with Peter the 'Great. The moujik looks around on the little home Peter built himself ou'the Neva marshes as if he, looked on the relics or a saint. Peter was essen- tially a mirn of action, an artisan of genius, us his handiwork and the tools he used prove; yet a burn commander, restless, ruthless. *When near the site of his future St. Petersburg he saw a tree scarred with a mark high above the ground, and, he asked of a peasant near; "What is that?" "The height to which the water rose in 1680,•" replied, the peasant. "You lie I" cried Peter. IIe cut the tree down. He was not to be deterred by the fact that floods had swept over his chosen site, and his masterfulness is Lo -day felt by the Russians until they have nearly made a good of him. It is impos,sible now to see the exterior of Peter's cottage on the Neva's banks, for a stone house was built by Cath- erine II. over it as a shell to preserve this wooden cottage, and so Lhe out- ward appearance is gone. Inside this stone building you see the wooden building, but this has very foolishly lately been painted to imitate bricks; but inside you can see in one room the type of place Peter lived and worked Ln. Here in this one little room–there are but two in the cottage–are the oak furniture, old leather chairs, a little cooking service, some of, the sails of his Iloat, and the worn little wooden i bench on %v,hi.ch he sat at his door and dreamed of TILL FUTURE CAPITAL, or raved at those who carried out his orders or failed to du so. In this room he transacted business -ith his minis- ters of :;tate and received foreign iim- bassadors. . The very greatness of the man forces itself upon one by this act alone. lie, the czar, wIth all the jeweled group of the Kremlin to enshroud himself with, sitting on his belnoh or In his timber ISVV,'and creating a power that in less than two centuries was to rule half the world. The other room of the cot- tage is also grpat.ly transformed; it was Peter's sleeping and dining -room; now it Is a chapel, and a picture of our. Saviour which Peter took with him upon all bis travels and which he bore with him at the famous battle of Pol- tava, hangs there. it, is in a gilt frame with a jeweled crown that, as is usual in Russian towns, quite overshadows the, picture. Not long a.go I 'AVnt out to the Cot- tage; on a Russian saint day, and ser- vice was being performed in the chapel, A small choir of nwn in ordinary dress were squeezed in behind the little altar and it priest in robes was chanting the service. The people were packed flatly together in the rouut and outside around the door, and under the passage of the outer building that protects the. cottage. Fome tried to getothers to pass ,n lighted candlps to place before the picture, and others crushed find squeezed until some moving on gave a chance to jet. in.
