<p>Beauty, of course, is for the hero. Nevertheless, it is not always he=
on whom beauty works its most conquering influence. It is the dull commonp=
lace man into whose slow brain she drops like a celestial light, and burns =
lastingly. The poet, for instance, is a connoisseur of beauty: to the artis=
t she is a model. These gentlemen by much contemplation of her charms wax c=
ritical. The days when they had hearts being gone, they are haply divided b=
etween the blonde and the brunette; the aquiline nose and the Proserpine; t=
his shaped eye and that. But go about among simple unprofessional fellows, =
boors, dunderheads, and here and there you shall find some barbarous intell=
igence which has had just strength enough to conceive, and has taken Beauty=
as its Goddess, and knows but one form to worship, in its poor stupid fash=
ion, and would perish for her. Nay, more: the man would devote all his days=
to her, though he is dumb as a dog. And, indeed, he is Beauty' s Dog. Almo=
st every Beauty has her Dog. The hero possesses her; the poet proclaims her=
; the painter puts her upon canvas; and the faithful Old Dog follows her: a=
nd the end of it all is that the faithful Old Dog is her single attendant. =
Sir Hero is revelling in the wars, or in Armida' s bowers; Mr. Poet has spi=
ed a wrinkle; the brush is for the rose in its season. She turns to her Old=
Dog then. She hugs him; and he, who has subsisted on a bone and a pat till=
there he squats decrepit, he turns his grateful old eyes up to her, and ha=
s not a notion that she is hugging sad memories in him: Hero, Poet, Painter=
, in one scrubby one! Then is she buried, and the village hears languid how=
ls, and there is a paragraph in the newspapers concerning the extraordinary=
fidelity of an Old Dog. Excited by suggestive recollections of Nooredeen a=
nd the Fair Persian, and the change in the obscure monotony of his life by =
his having quarters in a crack hotel, and living familiarly with West-End p=
eople--living on the fat of the land (which forms a stout portion of an hon=
est youth' s romance), Ripton Thompson breakfasted next morning with his ch=
ief at half-past eight. The meal had been fixed overnight for seven, but Ri=
pton slept a great deal more than the nightingale, and (to chronicle his ex=
act state) even half-past eight rather afflicted his new aristocratic sense=
s and reminded him too keenly of law and bondage. He had preferred to break=
fast at Algernon' s hour, who had left word for eleven. Him, however, it wa=
s Richard' s object to avoid, so they fell to, and Ripton no longer envied =
Hippias in bed. Breakfast done, they bequeathed the consoling information f=
or Algernon that they were off to hear a popular preacher, and departed. &q=
uot; How happy everybody looks!" said Richard, in the quiet Sunday str=
eets. " Yes--jolly!" said Ripton. " When I' m--when this is =
over, I' ll see that they are, too--as many as I can make happy," said=
the hero; adding softly: " Her blind was down at a quarter to six. I =
think she slept well!" " You' ve been there this morning?" R=
ipton exclaimed; and an idea of what love was dawned upon his dull brain. &=
quot; Will she see me, Ricky?" " Yes. She' ll see you to-day. She=
was tired last night." " Positively?" Richard assured him t=
hat the privilege would be his. " Here," he said, coming under so=
me trees in the park, " here' s where I talked to you last night. What=
a time it seems! How I hate the night!" On the way, that Richard migh=
t have an exalted opinion of him, Ripton hinted decorously at a somewhat in=
timate and mysterious acquaintance with the sex. Headings of certain random=
adventures he gave. " Well!" said his chief, " why not marr=
y her?" Then was Ripton shocked, and cried, " Oh!" and had a=
taste of the feeling of superiority, destined that day to be crushed utter=
ly. He was again deposited in Mrs. Berry' s charge for a term that caused h=
im dismal fears that the Fair Persian still refused to show her face, but R=
ichard called out to him, and up Ripton went, unaware of the transformation=
he was to undergo. Hero and Beauty stood together to receive him. From the=
bottom of the stairs he had his vivaciously agreeable smile ready for them=
, and by the time he entered the room his cheeks were painfully stiff, and =
his eyes had strained beyond their exact meaning. Lucy, with one hand ancho=
red to her lover, welcomed him kindly. He relieved her shyness by looking s=
o extremely silly. They sat down, and tried to commence a conversation, but=
Ripton was as little master of his tongue as he was of his eyes. After an =
interval, the Fair Persian having done duty by showing herself, was glad to=
quit the room. Her lord and possessor then turned inquiringly to Ripton. &=
quot; You don' t wonder now, Rip?" he said. " No, Richard!" =
Ripton waited to reply with sufficient solemnity, " indeed I don' t!&q=
uot; He spoke differently; he looked differently. He had the Old Dog' s eye=
s in his head. They watched the door she had passed through; they listened =
for her, as dogs' eyes do. When she came in, bonneted for a walk, his agita=
tion was dog-like. When she hung on her lover timidly, and went forth, he f=
ollowed without an idea of envy, or anything save the secret raptures the s=
ight of her gave him, which are the Old Dog' s own. For beneficent Nature r=
equites him: His sensations cannot be heroic, but they have a fulness and a=
wagging delight as good in their way. And this capacity for humble unaspir=
ing worship has its peculiar guerdon. When Ripton comes to think of Miss Ra=
ndom now, what will he think of himself? Let no one despise the Old Dog. Th=
rough him doth Beauty vindicate her sex. It did not please Ripton that othe=
rs should have the bliss of beholding her, and as, to his perceptions, ever=
ybody did, and observed her offensively, and stared, and turned their heads=
back, and interchanged comments on her, and became in a minute madly in lo=
ve with her, he had to smother low growls. They strolled about the pleasant=
gardens of Kensington all the morning, under the young chestnut buds, and =
round the windless waters, talking, and soothing the wild excitement of the=
ir hearts. If Lucy spoke, Ripton pricked up his ears. She, too, made the re=
mark that everybody seemed to look happy, and he heard it with thrills of j=
oy. " So everybody is, where you are!" he would have wished to sa=
y, if he dared, but was restrained by fears that his burning eloquence woul=
d commit him. Ripton knew the people he met twice. It would have been diffi=
cult to persuade him they were the creatures of accident. From the Gardens,=
in contempt of Ripton' s frowned protest, Richard boldly struck into the p=
ark, where solitary carriages were beginning to perform the circuit. Here R=
ipton had some justification for his jealous pangs. The young girl' s golde=
n locks of hair; her sweet, now dreamily sad, face; her gentle graceful fig=
ure in the black straight dress she wore; a sort of half-conventual air she=
had--a mark of something not of class, that was partly beauty' s, partly m=
aiden innocence growing conscious, partly remorse at her weakness and dim f=
ear of the future it was sowing--did attract the eye-glasses. Ripton had to=
learn that eyes are bearable, but eye-glasses an abomination. They fixed a=
spell upon his courage; for somehow the youth had always ranked them as em=
blems of our nobility, and hearing two exquisite eye-glasses, who had been =
to front and rear several times, drawl in gibberish generally imputed to lo=
rds, that his heroine was a charming little creature, just the size, but ha=
d no style,--he was abashed; he did not fly at them and tear them. He becam=
e dejected. Beauty' s dog is affected by the eye-glass in a manner not unli=
ke the common animal' s terror of the human eye. Richard appeared to hear n=
othing, or it was homage that he heard. He repeated to Lucy Diaper Sandoe' =
s verses-- " The cockneys nod to each other aside, The coxcombs lift t=
heir glasses," and projected hiring a horse for her to ride every day =
in the park, and shine among the highest. They had turned to the West, agai=
nst the sky glittering through the bare trees across the water, and the bri=
ght-edged rack. The lover, his imagination just then occupied in clothing e=
arthly glories in celestial, felt where his senses were sharpest the hand o=
f his darling falter, and instinctively looked ahead. His uncle Algernon wa=
s leisurely jolting towards them on his one sound leg. The dismembered Guar=
dsman talked to a friend whose arm supported him, and speculated from time =
to time on the fair ladies driving by. The two white faces passed him unobs=
erved. Unfortunately Ripton, coming behind, went plump upon the Captain' s =
live toe--or so he pretended, crying, " Confound it, Mr. Thompson! you=
might have chosen the other." The horrible apparition did confound Ri=
pton, who stammered that it was extraordinary. " Not at all," sai=
d Algernon. " Everybody makes up to that fellow. Instinct, I suppose!&=
quot; He had not to ask for his nephew. Richard turned to face the matter. =
" Sorry I couldn' t wait for you this morning, uncle," he said, w=
ith the coolness of relationship. " I thought you never walked so far.=
" His voice was in perfect tone--the heroic mask admirable. Algernon e=
xamined the downcast visage at his side, and contrived to allude to the pop=
ular preacher. He was instantly introduced to Ripton' s sister, Miss Thomps=
on. The Captain bowed, smiling melancholy approval of his nephew' s choice =
of a minister. After a few stray remarks, and an affable salute to Miss Tho=
mpson, he hobbled away, and then the three sealed volcanoes breathed, and L=
ucy' s arm ceased to be squeezed quite so much up to the heroic pitch. This=
incident quickened their steps homeward to the sheltering wings of Mrs. Be=
rry. All that passed between them on the subject comprised a stammered excu=
se from Ripton for his conduct, and a good-humoured rejoinder from Richard,=
that he had gained a sister by it: at which Ripton ventured to wish aloud =
Miss Desborough would only think so, and a faint smile twitched poor Lucy' =
s lips to please him. She hardly had strength to reach her cage. She had no=
ne to eat of Mrs. Berry' s nice little dinner. To be alone, that she might =
cry and ease her heart of its accusing weight of tears, was all she prayed =
for. Kind Mrs. Berry, slipping into her bedroom to take off her things, fou=
nd the fair body in a fevered shudder, and finished by undressing her compl=
etely and putting her to bed. " Just an hour' s sleep, or so," th=
e mellifluous woman explained the case to the two anxious gentlemen. "=
A quiet sleep and a cup of warm tea goes for more than twenty doctors, it =
do--when there' s the flutters," she pursued. " I know it by myse=
lf. And a good cry beforehand' s better than the best of medicine." Sh=
e nursed them into a make-believe of eating, and retired to her softer char=
ge and sweeter babe, reflecting, " Lord! Lord! the three of ' em don' =
t make fifty! I' m as old as two and a half of ' em, to say the least."=
; Mrs. Berry used her apron, and by virtue of their tender years took them =
all three into her heart.</p>=20
