The man who would maintain in himself the desire to goon living, and his belief in something more delicious than the things of daily life, must go out driving; for the streets,the avenues are full of goddesses. Her life is stillherself, but that part of herself which we do not know, the things as to which we have questioned her in vain and which weshall be able to gather from fresh lips. She still retains a corner in our heart, but a very small corner; we hasten out every eveningin search of unknown women, especially unknown women who are known to her and can tell us about her life. But I changed my mind for this evening, for I meant to try to find out who the people were that Albertinemight have been hoping to meet there in the afternoon. So that these assembled masses on public holidays are to the voluptuaryas precious as is to the archaeologist the congested state of a piece of ground in which digging will bring to light ancientmedals. They was scared to tell him,and he might of never knowed only for Paul Dickson.Perhaps not, butcapable of yielding to any number of different possibilities in the headlong current of life.For with other and more profound giftsVinteuil combined that which few composers, and indeed few painters have possessed, of using colours not merely so lastingbut so personal that, just as time has been powerless to fade them, so the disciples who imitate him who discovered them,and even the masters who surpass him do not pale their originality.ANTHRAX, a disease, especially in cattle, due to the invasion of a living organism which, under certain conditions, breeds rapidly; called also splenic fever.GENTLE SHEPHERD, a nickname George Grenville bore from a retort of the elder Pitt one day in Parliament.But shehad thought that the son looked down upon her, had sought for something that would embarrass him, put him to shame, hadinvented a long story of evidence which she imagined herself called upon to give in court, and, by dint of repeating thedetails to herself, was perhaps no longer aware that they were not true.BARUCH, (1) the friend of the prophet Jeremiah, and his scribe, who was cast with him into prison, and accompanied him into Egypt; (2) a book in the Apocrypha, instinct with the spirit of Hebrew prophecy, ascribed to him; (3) also a book entitled the Apocalypse of Baruch, affecting to predict the fall of Jerusalem, but obviously written after the event. Writing of the margin in twentieth-century autobiographical narratives by chinese american women writers "So this is how you prowl the streets at night, Brichot, with a good-looking young man," he said as he joined us, whilethe disappointed ruffian made off.Of Leipzig; has broad streets and fine buildings, with a castle; chief manufactures woollen.He called Julie up on a night when he knew Doc was overin Carterville.But how could I tell that Andrée was not herself betraying me, and would not tell Albertine to-morrow that I had askedher to prevent her at all costs from going to the Verdurins', and had not already revealed to her that I had many times madesimilar appeals.FRIEND OF MAN, Marquis de Mirabeau, so called from the title of one of his works, "L'Ami des Hommes."This December, we're unlocking the darkest files in spiritual folklore and recorded history.CORBLE-STEPS, or CROW-STEPS, steps ascending the gable of a house, common in old Scotch gables as well as in the Netherlands and elsewhere in old towns.In this too skinny young person, whomoreover attracted undue attention, the excess of what another person would perhaps have called her charms was preciselywhat was calculated to repel me, but had nevertheless had the effect of preventing me from perceiving even, far more fromremembering anything about the other young dairymaids, whom the hooked nose of this one and her gaze — how unattractive itwas!CLAIRVOYANCE, the power ascribed to certain persons in a mesmeric state of seeing and describing events at a distance or otherwise invisible. GALSWINTHE, the sister of Brunhilda and the second wife of Chilpéric I.; was strangled to death in 568. GALLIPOLI, 1, a fortified seaport town (8) in Southern Italy, 59 m. GALLIO, the Roman proconsul of Achaia in the days of St. Paul, before whom the Jews of Corinth brought an appeal against the latter, but which he treated with careless indifference as no affair of his, in consequence of which his name has become the synonym of an easy-going ruler or prince. Of Ceylon; there is a good harbour, but the shipping, which at one time was extensive, has declined since the rise of Colombo. GALLE or POINT DE GALLE (33), fortified seaport town, prettily situated on a rocky promontory in the SW. CLOVIS I., king of the Franks, son of Childéric I.; conquered the Romans at Soissons 486, which he made his centre; married CLOTILDA (q. v.) 493; beat the Germans near Cologne 496, by assistance, as he believed, of the God of Clotilda, after which he was baptized by St. Remi at Rheims; and overthrew the Visigoths under Alaric II.

My bodily eyes distinguished in it only, on days when the sky was threatening, anumbrella with which the Duchess was not afraid to arm herself. All the castles of the territoriesof which she was Duchess, Princess, Viscountess, this lady in furs defying the weather teemed to me to be carrying them onher person, as a figure carved over the lintel of a church door holds in his hand the cathedral that he has built or thecity that he has defended. Looking mechanically at the clockto see how many hours must elapse before Albertine's return, I saw that I had still time to dress and go downstairs to askmy landlady, Mme. de Guermantes, for particulars of various becoming garments which I was anxious to procure for mymistress. Such aman feels the difficulty of winning her favour, sometimes his inability to satisfy her, and, rather than be betrayed,prefers to admit to his house, to an adjoining room, some man whom he considers incapable of giving her bad advice, but notincapable of giving her pleasure. There are asthmatic persons who can soothe their crises onlyby opening the windows, inhaling the full blast of the wind, the pure air of the mountains, others by taking refuge in theheart of the city, in a room heavy with smoke. I had been impressedwhen I heard that the title Villeparisis was falsely assumed. Now this was more brilliant in the case of Mme. de Villeparisis than I had supposed. And, albeit his wife had other engagements, so as not to disobligeBrichot, he made her attend the lecture, while the daughter, troubled by the heat and the crowd, nevertheless devouredeagerly with her eyes the descendant of Condé, marvelling all the same that he was not crowned with strawberry-leaves andlooked just like anybody else of the present day. Brichot sometimes extracted from this attendance by M.de Charlus at his lectures an opportunity for giving pleasure, almost for returning hospitality. CONVOCATION, an assemblage of the English clergy, with little or no legislative power, summoned and prorogued by an archbishop under authority of the Crown; one under the Archbishop of Canterbury, held at Canterbury, and one under the Archbishop of York, held at York, consisting each of two bodies, an Upper of bishops, and an Under of lesser dignitaries and inferior clergy, in separate chambers, though they originally met in one. CONTRAT, SOCIAL, Rousseau's theory of society that it is based on mere contract, each individual member of it surrendering his will to the will of all, under protection of all concerned, a theory which led to the conclusion that the rule of kings is an usurpation of the rights of the community, and which bore fruit as an explosive in the Revolution at the end of the century. CONSUELO, the heroine of George Sand's novel of the name, her masterpiece; the impersonation of the triumph of moral purity over manifold temptations. CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY, the legislative body which the National Assembly of France resolved itself into in 1789, a name it assumed from the task it imposed on itself, viz., of making a constitution, a task which, from the nature of it proved impossible, as a constitution is an entity which grows, and is not made, nascitur, non fit. In 1452, at which time the Greek and Latin scholars fled the city, carrying the learning of Greece and Rome with them, an event which led to the revival of learning in Europe, and the establishment of a new era—the Modern—in European history.

FANDANGO, a popular Spanish dance, specially in favour among the Andalusians; is in ¾ time, and is danced to the accompaniment of guitars and castanets. FAN, a light hand implement used to cause a draught of cool air to play upon the face; there are two kinds, the folding and non-folding; the latter, sometimes large and fixed on a pole, were known to the ancients, the former were invented by the Japanese in the 7th century, and became popular in Italy and Spain in the 16th century; but Paris soon took a lead in their manufacture, carrying them to their highest pitch of artistic perfection in the reign of Louis XIV. The story of the Fall in Genesis has in later times been regarded as a spiritual allegory, and simply the Hebrew attempt, one amongst many, to explain the origin of evil. FALL, THE, the first transgression of divine law on the part of man, conceived of as involving the whole human race in the guilt of it, and represented as consisting in the wilful partaking of the fruit of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of both good and evil. What is wanted in a popular Encyclopædia is succinct information—the more succinct the better, so long as it gives what is required by the inquiry, leaving it to the authorities in each subject to supply the information desired by those intent on pursuing it further. In short, it becomes more and more a necessity of modern life to know something of everything. "The NUTTALL ENCYCLOPÆDIA" is the fruit of a project to provide, in a concise and condensed form, and at a cheap rate, an epitome of the kind of information given in the larger Encyclopædias, such as may prove sufficient for the ordinary requirements, in that particular, of the generality of people, and especially of such as have not the means for purchasing or the leisure for studying the larger. I rang for Françoise to ask her to buy me a guide-book and a timetable, as I had done as a boy, when I wished to preparein advance a journey to Venice, the realisation of a desire as violent as that which I felt at this moment; I forgot that,in the interval, there was a desire which I had attained, without any satisfaction, the desire for Balbec, and that Venice,being also a visible phenomenon, was probably no more able than Balbec to realise an ineffable dream, that of the gothicage, made actual by a springtime sea, and coming at moments to stir my soul with an enchanted, caressing, unseizable,mysterious, confused image. The Twelve Pins (2395 ft.) are the principal mountains; fishing, some agriculture, and cattle-rearing are the chief employments; it contains many interesting cromlechs and ruins. And S., divide the county into East and West districts; the former is boggy, yet arable; the latter, including the picturesque district known as CONNEMARA, is wild and hilly, and chiefly consists of bleak morass and bogland; its rocky and indented coast affords excellent harbourage in many places; the Suck, Shannon, and Corrib are the chief rivers; the Slieve Boughta Mountains in the S. GALWAY (215), a maritime county in the W. GALVANISM, the mere contact with two dissimilar metals, the science of what is now called Voltaic or current electricity, produced, as in the above instance, from the contact of dissimilar metals, especially that of acids on metals. And it was curious to remark how, through the walls of her prison,destiny, which transforms people, had contrived to pass, to change her in her very essence, and turn the girl I had known atBalbec into a tedious and docile captive. For itis a certain road to success which succeeds only like the road to love, that is to say if one has not adopted it with thatobject in view, if, for instance, you confine yourself to your room because you are seriously ill, or are supposed to be, orare keeping a mistress shut up with you whom you prefer to society (or for all these reasons at once), this will justifyanother person, who is not aware of the woman's existence, and simply because you decline to see him, in preferring you toall the people who offer themselves, and attaching himself to you. Besides, I felta scruple, if I asked for it, lest she might think that I called upon her only when I happened to need her help, whereas fora long time past I had been declining several invitations from her weekly. She had even begun to form a neat collection which she installed with charming taste in aglass case and at which I could not look without emotion and alarm, for the art with which she arranged them was that bornof patience, ingenuity, home-sickness, the need to forget, in which prisoners excel. Histoes began to wriggle stiffly—creakingly. “Hah, Meyer,” she called out, “don’t think you canfool me! She placed the red shawl over the sick man’s feet, butthey persisted in sticking out—their long, misshapen toesdigging into each other with soles as hard as leather. “It seems so strange for him to be in the house with meand yet not say a word to me.” Hannah spoke to herself.“I don’t like that white sheet over the quilt.” Horrible Waste of Time Jealous lovers who, in order to keep a watch upon her whom they loved, cut short their own hours of sleep,deprived themselves of rest, feeling that her own personal desires, the world, so vast and so secret, time, are strongerthan they, allow her to go out without them, then to travel, and finally separate from her. If on the contrary she is affectionate, what joyfor a moment; but when we see that little tongue outstretched as though in invitation, we think of those people to whom thatinvitation has so often been addressed, and that perhaps even here at home, even although Albertine was not thinking ofthem, it has remained, by force of long habit, an automatic signal. "I hope sheremembered to tell you that we met Mme. Verdurin the other day." "Mme. Verdurin? I don't remember," I replied, as though Iwere thinking of something else, so as to appear indifferent to this meeting and not to betray Andrée who had told me whereAlbertine was going on the morrow. I did not leave the telephone without thanking, in a few propitiatory words, herwho reigns over the swiftness of sounds for having kindly employed on behalf of my humble words a power which made them ahundred times more rapid than thunder, by my thanksgiving received no other response than that of being cut off. Verdurin had not been genuinely unaffected by the death of the Princess, would she have gone on to excuse herself forgiving the party, by accusing herself of a far more serious fault? Even those people in society who professed to be endowed with taste and drewunnecessary distinctions between the various Russian ballets, regarding the setting of the Sylphides as somehow'purer' than that of Scheherazade, which they were almost prepared to attribute to Negro inspiration, wereenchanted to meet face to face the great revivers of theatrical taste, who in an art that is perhaps a little moreartificial than that of the easel had created a revolution as profound as Impressionism itself. And just as, after the emotions of the lawcourts, people used to go in the evening to Mme. Verdurin, a sort ofofficial representative in Paris of all foreign artists, was not long in making her appearance, by the side of the exquisitePrincess Yourbeletief, an aged Fairy Godmother, grim but all-powerful, to the Russian dancers. Verdurin's the cast was trained to perfection, therepertory most select, all that was lacking was an audience. 'Monstrous' Women: Lilith, Lamia, and the Making of the Vampire Myth Embracing her new life, she begins to shine with confidence on her own.

ELVAS, a strongly fortified town in Portugal, in the province of Alemtejo, 12 m. ELSWICK (53), a town in the vicinity of Newcastle, noted for the great engineering and ordnance works of Sir W. G. Vinteuil and that I was thinking of Léa only because the thought of her stillcaused me pain. Vinteuil.But, at the Trocadéro, from which, for that matter, she had come away in order to go for a drive with myself, there had beenas a reason to make her leave it the presence of Léa. Believing that theperson whom I reproached her for having met without telling me was Mme. What, it was the same Albertine of to-day, with her pretensions to frankness and indifference to all the world who hadtold me this! It is then that our mistress tells us of her pleasures and even of the means by which sheconceals them from other people. COBURG (18), capital of the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, on the Itz, the old castle on a height 500 ft. above the town; gave shelter to Luther in 1530, and was besieged by Wallenstein. CLYTEMNESTRA, the wife of Agamemnon, and the mother of Iphigenia, Electra, and Orestes; killed her husband, and was killed by her son, Orestes, seven years after. Of Scotland which falls into a large inlet or firth, as it is called, the commerce on which extends over the world, and on the banks of which are shipbuilding yards second to none in any other country; it is deepened as far as Glasgow for ships of a heavy tonnage. CLUTTERBUCK, the imaginary author of the "Fortunes of Nigel," and the patron to whom the "Abbot" is dedicated. Of Saône-et-Loire, on an affluent of the Saône; renowned in the Middle Ages for its Benedictine abbey, founded in 910, and the most celebrated in Europe, having been the mother establishment of 2000 others of the like elsewhere; in ecclesiastical importance it stood second to Rome, and its abbey church second to none prior to the erection of St. Peter's; a great normal school was established here in 1865. Of London; an ancient city, with interesting archæological remains; there are some fine buildings, the oldest round church in England, Holy Sepulchre, and a Roman Catholic church. CAMBRIDGE (44), county town of Cambridgeshire, stands in flat country, on the Cam, 28 m. Of Nord, in France, on the Scheldt; famous for its fine linen fabrics, hence called cambrics. It was urged against him that the Duchess was a Dreyfusard (the Dreyfus case hadlong been concluded, but twenty years later people were still talking about it, and so far only two years had elapsed), andentertained the Rothschilds, that so much consideration had been shewn of late to certain great international magnates likethe Duc de Guermantes, who was half German. It seems that among men and women of action (and people insociety are men and women of action on a minute, a microscopic scale, but are nevertheless men and women of action), themind, overcharged by the need of attending to what is going to happen in an hour's time, confides only a very few things tothe memory. But even in the mere classification of different people, her care to distinguish and indicate their native provinces wasin Mme. de Guermantes, when she was her natural self, a great charm which a Parisian-born woman could never have acquired,and those simple names Anjou, Poitou, the Périgord, filled her conversation with pictorial landscapes. Of the Marquis du Lau (whose tragic decline we all know, when, himself deaf, he used to be taken to call on Mme. H... whowas blind), she would recall the less tragic years when, after the day's sport, at Guermantes, he would change into slippersbefore taking tea with the Prince of Wales, to whom he would not admit himself inferior, and with whom, as we see, he stoodupon no ceremony. All the local sap that survives in the old noble families is not enough, there must also be born of them a person ofsufficient intelligence not to despise it, not to conceal it beneath the varnish of society. Travelling lazily upstream from day to day, as in a boat, and seeing appear before my eyes an endlessly changingsuccession of enchanted memories, which I did not select, which a moment earlier had been invisible, and which my mindpresented to me one after another, without my being free to choose them, I pursued idly over that continuous expanse mystroll in the sunshine. I treatedthis day in a similar fashion, allowing its showers of rain and bursts of sunshine to pass without doing anything, andvowing that I would begin to work on the morrow. I followed his example, and did as I had always done since my first resolution to become a writer, which I had made longago, but which seemed to me to date from yesterday, because I had regarded each intervening day as non-existent. As for work — exceptional circumstances having theeffect of intensifying what previously existed in the man, labour in the laborious, laziness in the lazy — he takes aholiday. Life has in fact suddenly acquired, in his eyes, a higher value, because he puts into life everything that it seems tohim capable of giving, instead of the little that he normally makes it give. De Charlus liked to shew that he was in love with Morel, topersuade other people, possibly to persuade himself, that Morel was in love with him. "Everywhere, the most famous whores can look at nobody but him. Theystare at him everywhere, whether, it's on the underground or in the theatre. It's becoming a nuisance! I can't go out withhim to a restaurant without the waiter bringing him notes from at least three women. And always pretty women too. Not thatthere's anything surprising in that. I was watching him yesterday, I can quite understand it, he has become so beautiful, helooks just like a Bronzino, he is really marvellous." But M. It is, by the way, for this reason that the young men who, with an eye totheir own personal advantage, condescend to the love of men like Charlus, assure them that women inspire them only withdisgust, just as they would tell a doctor that they never touch alcohol, and care only for spring water. This lost country composers do not actually remember, but each of them remains all his life somehow attuned to it; he iswild with joy when he is singing the airs of his native land, betrays it at times in his thirst for fame, but then, inseeking fame, turns his back upon it, and it is only when he despises it that he finds it when he utters, whatever thesubject with which he is dealing, that peculiar strain the monotony of which — for whatever its subject it remains identicalin itself — proves the permanence of the elements that compose his soul. Its intention, however, was, this time, merely to shew me the way, whichwas not the way of the sonata, for this was an unpublished work of Vinteuil in which he had merely amused himself, by anallusion which was explained at this point by a sentence in the programme which one ought to have been readingsimultaneously, in making the little phrase reappear for a moment. Verdurin's speech with the blend of admiration andmisgiving which certain cruelly realistic plays, that shewed a profound observation, used at one time to cause, and, whilethey marvelled to see their beloved Mistress display a novel aspect of her rectitude and independence, more than one ofthem, albeit he assured himself that after all it would not be the same thing, thought of his own death, and asked himselfwhether, on the day when death came to him, they would draw the blinds or give a party at Quai Conti. As soon as oneof the faithful had been out of the house for half an hour, they would make fun of him in front of the others, would feignsurprise that their guests had not noticed how his teeth were never clean, or how on the contrary he had a mania forbrushing them twenty times a day. That day, theday upon which the heart has become so frail, our friends who respect us are pained that such trifles, that certain persons,can so affect us, can bring us to death's door. De Charlus would genially denounce evil habits among the little clan, as hewould have mimicked a person speaking English or imitated Mounet-Sully, without waiting to be asked, so as to pay his scotwith a good grace, by displaying an amateur talent in society; so that M. Conscious of the curiosity that his own striking personality aroused, M. And yet, the internal revolution of a mind, ignorant at first of theanomaly contained in its body, then appalled at it after the discovery, and finally growing so used to it as to fail toperceive that it is not safe to confess to other people what the sinner has come in time to confess without shame tohimself, had been even more effective in liberating M. Sometimes even this did not suffice him, he required novelty, and would go and spend the night with a woman,just as a normal man may, once in his life, have wished to go to bed with a boy, from a curiosity similar though inverse,and in either case equally unhealthy. “Yeah, it’s a good house,” he agreed, “even ef ’tis kinduv old. A thick growth of stunted sprucesran down to a meadow covered with coarse beach-grass, andthe house stood on a small rise of ground at the edge of themeadow, commanding an unbroken view seaward. Beyond Bald Head a long white curve of beach heldthe old house in an encircling arm. "Are you coming with us to-morrow, you naughty man?" she asked before leaving me. "Where are you going?" "That willdepend on the weather and on yourself. But have you written anything to-day, my little darling? No? Then it was hardly worthyour while, not coming with us. Tell me, by the way, when I came in, you knew my step, you guessed at once who it was?" "Ofcourse. Could I possibly be mistaken, couldn't I tell my little sparrow's hop among a thousand? She must let me take hershoes off, before she goes to bed, it will be such a pleasure to me. You are so nice and pink in all that white lace." Incomparable as were those two kisses of peace, Albertine slipped into my mouth, makingme the gift of her tongue, like a gift of the Holy Spirit, conveyed to me a viaticum, left me with a provision oftranquillity almost as precious as when my mother in the evening at Combray used to lay her lips upon my brow. To be sure, I should have been greatly astonished at that time, had anyone told methat I was not wholly virtuous, and more astonished still to be told that I would ever seek to deprive some one else of apleasure. And yet with thisdesire, honouring youth with an ex voto, with my memories also of Balbec, there was blended, in the need that Ifelt of keeping Albertine in this way every evening by my side, something that had hitherto been unknown, at least in myamorous existence, if it was not entirely novel in my life. It was because of this reverence that, in those moments in which people runcounter to their natural inclinations, the two girls had been able to find an insane pleasure in the profanations which havealready been narrated. In the end the joyous motive was left triumphant; it was no longer an almost anxiousappeal addressed to an empty sky, it was an ineffable joy which seemed to come from paradise, a joy as different from thatof the sonata as from a grave and gentle angel by Bellini, playing the theorbo, would be some archangel by Mantegna soundinga trump. A wrestling match of energies only, to tell the truth; for if these creatures attacked one another,it was rid of their physical bodies, of their appearance, of their names, and finding in me an inward spectator, himselfindifferent also to their names and to all details, interested only in their immaterial and dynamic combat and followingwith passion its sonorous changes. BUDASTIS, an ancient town in Lower Egypt, where festivals in honour of Bacchus used to be held every year. The county town is BUCKINGHAM (3), on the Ouse, 60 m.

"Then she must be an ungrateful wretch,"went on Françoise, in whom Albertine was renewing after all these years the same torment of envy that Eulalie used at onetime to cause her in my aunt's sickroom.D'Argencourt,extremely jealous and not unduly potent, feeling that he was failing to satisfy his captive and anxious at once to introduceher to people and to keep her amused, could do so without risk to himself only by surrounding her with innocuous men, whomhe thus cast for the part of guardians of his seraglio.CREMONA, old town on the Po, in Lombardy, 46 m.I hope you like it good enough to stay.As I say, we ain’t no New York City or Chicago, but wehave pretty good times.On the other hand, phrases that I had distinguished atonce in the music that I had heard at Mme.

CARDUCCI, Florentine artists, brothers, of the 17th century; did their chief work in Spain. CARAFFA, a distinguished Neapolitan family, which gave birth to a number of distinguished ecclesiastics, Paul IV. CAPUCHINS, monks of the Franciscan Order, founded in 1526, so called from a cowl they wear; they were a mendicant order, and were twice over suppressed by the Pope, though they exist still in Austria and Switzerland. My words, therefore, did not in the least reflect my sentiments. Besides, for a long time past, my frequent anguish, my fear of telling Albertinethat I loved her, all this corresponded to another hypothesis which explained many things besides, and had also this to besaid for it, that, if one adopted the first hypothesis, the second became more probable, for by allowing myself to give wayto effusive tenderness for Albertine, I obtained from her nothing but irritation (to which moreover she assigned a differentcause). So that what probably existed in me was the idea of an Albertine entirelyopposite to that which my reason formed of her, to that also which her own speech portrayed, an Albertine that all the samewas not wholly invented, since she was like a prophetic mirror of certain impulses that occurred in her, such as her illhumour at my having gone to the Verdurins'. Unholy October: The Possession of George Lukins Was it not,indeed, Françoise that had been asleep and I that had just awoken her; nay more, was not Françoise enclosed in my breast,for the distinction between persons and their reaction upon one another barely exists in that murky obscurity in whichreality is as little translucent as in the body of a porcupine, and our all but non-existent perception may perhaps furnishan idea of the perception of certain animals. Because the dream world is not the waking world, it does not follow that the waking world is less genuine, far from it.In the world of sleep, our perceptions are so overcharged, each of them increased by a counterpart which doubles its bulkand blinds it to no purpose, that we are not able even to distinguish what is happening in the bewilderment of awakening;was it Françoise that had come to me, or I that, tired of waiting, went to her? There life is almost always the same, whence the disappointments of travel. As thiskind of sleep is — on an average — four times as refreshing, it seems to the awakened sleeper to have lasted four times aslong, when it has really been four times as short. DOWN (266), a maritime county in the SE. Across; forms a busy sea highway; is called by the French Pas de Calais. Military district of England; was the chief of the Cinque Ports. Of London, and with a mail service to Calais and Ostend; is strongly fortified, and the chief station in the SE. BRUNETIÈRE, French critic, connected with the Revue des Deux Mondes and now editor; a very sound and sensible critic; his chief work, begun in the form of lectures in 1890, entitled "L'Évolution des Genres de l'Histoire de la Littérature Française"; according to Prof. Saintsbury, promises to be one of the chief monuments that the really "higher" criticism has yet furnished; b. BRUNE, G.

EPIMETHEUS (i. e. Afterthought), the brother of Prometheus (Forethought), who in spite of the warnings of the latter opened Pandora's box, and let loose a flood of evils on the earth, which oppress it to this day. EPIGRAM, in modern usage, is a neat, witty, and pointed utterance briefly couched in verse form, usually satiric, and reserving its sting to the last line; sometimes made the vehicle of a quaintly-turned compliment, as, for example, in Pope's couplet to Chesterfield, when asked to write something with that nobleman's pencil;— Of Châlons; the chief emporium of the champagne district. More generally, she is a writer-editor covering food and drink, travel, lifestyle and culture in New York City. Along with sharing insight as they analyze gameplay, assess the competition and give their perspective throughout the season, Hale and Levasseur will be joined by mystery celebrity guests and surprise show alumni to break down the drama and deliver their reactions. The supplemental episodes will air never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes moments from inside the house But very soon, the triumphant motive of the bells having been banished, dispersed by others, I succumbed once again tothe music; and I began to realise that if, in the body of this septet, different elements presented themselves in turn, tocombine at the close, so also Vinteuil's sonata, and, as I was to find later on, his other works as well, had been no morethan timid essays, exquisite but very slight, towards the triumphant and complete masterpiece which was revealed to me atthis moment. I looked at the Mistress, whose sullen immobility seemed to be protesting against the noddings — in time with the music —of the empty heads of the ladies of the Faubourg. Itseemed to me that Vinteuil had been lacking, here, in inspiration, and consequently I was a little lacking also in the powerof attention. Making endlessconjectures, I sought to shield myself from suffering without thereby realising my love. Yesterday I was afraid lestAlbertine should go to see Mme. At this moment, the thought that she must not meet the two girls again and the question whetheror not she knew Léa were what was chiefly occupying my mind, in spite of the rule that we ought not to take an interest inparticular facts except in relation to their general significance, and notwithstanding the childishness, as great as that oflonging to travel or to make friends with women, of shattering our curiosity against such elements of the invisible torrentof painful realities which will always remain unknown to us as have happened to crystallise in our mind. She was one of those women in whom their misdeeds may at a pinch take the place of absent charms, and no lessthan their misdeeds the kindness that follows them and restores to us that sense of comfort which in their company, like aninvalid who is never well for two days in succession, we are incessantly obliged to recapture. But at that moment this other expression, which did at least give her a serious air, almost as though she were inpain, had seemed to me a pleasant relief after the toneless blissful expression she had worn in the presence of the twogirls, and I should have preferred the sombre expression of the desire that she did perhaps feel at times to the laughingexpression caused by the desire which she aroused. BEUTHEN (36), a manufacturing town in Prussian Silesia, in the centre of a mining district. BETTERTON, THOMAS, born at Westminster, a tragic actor, and as such an interpreter of Shakespeare on, it is believed, the traditional lines. BETHEL (i. e. house of God), a place 11 m.

An ideawas being born in her mind, and her mother was preventingher from developing it. Anything better than talking. Trying to live on uspoor people. She placed on the table the saltcellar, the knives and forks, the only really good thingsthey had in the house. Mother was in the kitchen, and as she took off her coatGerty wondered when would be the best time to breakthe news to her. “Theyfigure there is less chance of labor trouble in a small townlike this.” “It’s a good little town. Dull days came that way inthe hotel business. They had a good many tourists, but this justhappened to be a quiet day. Sometimes they sat insilence thus, very near each other, for a long, long time.Once they got out of the buggy, having tied the horse tothe fence, and walked in a newly cut hayfield. At length, in 1449, the pope died, Felix resigned, and Nicholas V. was recognised by the whole Church. Asserting the authority of a general council over the Pope himself, it cited him on two occasions to appear at its bar, on his refusal declared him contumacious, and ultimately endeavoured to suspend him.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR, an annual market held at Smithfield, London, and instituted in 1133 by Henry I., to be kept on the saint's day, but abolished in 1853, when it ceased to be a market and became an occasion for mere dissipation and riot.

"It is a trifle stuffy in thehall in which Brichot lectures, but it is always interesting." Albeit the Baron preferred to mingle with the youth of theschools, in other words to be jostled by them, sometimes, to save him a long wait in the lecture-room, Brichot took him inby his own door. What was more, the sense of justice was so far lacking in me as to amount to anentire want of moral sense. Thus it is that at times,if we read the latest masterpiece of a man of genius, we are delighted to find in it all those of our own reflexions whichwe have always despised, joys and sorrows which we have repressed, a whole world of feelings scorned by us, the value ofwhich the book in which we discover them afresh at once teaches us. "I see agreat deal of him," he went on, in a balanced, sing-song tone, allowing no movement of his lips to stir his grave, powderedmask over which were purposely lowered his prelatical eyelids. He preferred to all others those men who tolerated his outlook upon life.

The real reason I came to seeyou”—she went on very gravely—“was that I knew youwere together at the time of the accident. Some day”—shelooked at him strangely, scrutinizingly—“you’ll be askingfor it. I guessyou’ll find that even in the state of Nevada people willPg 143consider that a wife who’s ready to forgive what I’m readyto forgive, and to take care of you the rest of your life, isworth paying some attention to.” Sometimes, on days when the weather was, according to everyone, past praying for, the mere act of staying in the house,situated in the midst of a steady and continuous rain, had all the gliding charm, the soothing silence, the interest of asea voyage; at another time, on a bright day, to lie still in bed was to let the lights and shadows play around me as rounda tree-trunk. I had promised Albertine that, if I did not go out with her, I would settle down to work, but in the morning, just as if,taking advantage of our being asleep, the house had miraculously flown, I awoke in different weather beneath another clime.We do not begin to work at the moment of landing in a strange country to the conditions of which we have to adapt ourself.But each day was for me a different country. Now, albeit every day I found an excuse in some particular indisposition which made me so often remain in bed,a person (not Albertine, not any person that I loved, but a person with more power over me than any beloved) had migratedinto me, despotic to the extent of silencing at times my jealous suspicions or at least of preventing me from going to findout whether they had any foundation, and this was my aunt Léonie. And just as people pay a hundred francs a day for a room at the Hotel atBalbec in order to breathe the sea air, I felt it to be quite natural that I should spend more than that upon her since Ihad her breath upon my cheek, between her lips which I parted with my own, through which her life flowed against mytongue. I was not affected by the words that she mutteredoccasionally in her sleep, their meaning escaped me, and besides, whoever the unknown person to whom they referred, it wasupon my hand, upon my cheek that her hand, as an occasional tremor recalled it to life, stiffened for an instant. DOBSON, AUSTIN, poet and prose writer, born at Plymouth, is in a department of the Civil Service; wrote "Vignettes in Rhyme," "Proverbs in Porcelain," "Old World Idylls," in verse, and in prose Lives of Fielding, Hogarth, Steele, and Goldsmith; contributed extensively to the magazines; b.

DISCORD, THE GODDESS OF, a mischief-making divinity, daughter of Night and sister of Mars, who on the occasion of the wedding of Thetis with Peleus, threw into the hall where all the gods and goddesses were assembled a golden apple inscribed "To the most Beautiful," and which gave rise to dissensions that both disturbed the peace of Olympus and the impartial administration of justice on earth. Certainly they overflow into the future through the memory that we retain of them, but they demand a placealso in the time that precedes them. I know that I then uttered the word death, as thoughAlbertine were about to die. One would have said that she was attuning her actions to that quarrel, and yet with moderation, whether so as notto announce it, or because, while breaking off her carnal relations with me, she wished still to remain my friend. I knew quite wellthat she could not leave me without warning me, besides she could not either wish to leave me (it was in a week's time thatshe was to try on the new Fortuny gowns), nor decently do so, as my mother was returning to Paris at the end of the week andher aunt also. I was now silent, and yet she continued to gaze at me with that persistent attention which we give to some one whohas not finished speaking. Certain members of the club who were not popular in society and whosesole pleasure was to blackball the men who did not invite them to their houses started a campaign against the Duc deGuermantes who, certain of being elected, and relatively indifferent to the presidency which was a small matter for a man inhis social position, paid no attention. De Guermantes had been the seniorvice-president of the Jockey, when the president died. As for people in society, there are very fewthings that they remember.

BARRETT, WILSON, English actor, born in Essex; made his début at Halifax; lessee of the Grand Theatre, Leeds, and of the Court and the Princess's Theatres, London; produced his Hamlet in 1884; b. BARREL MIRABEAU, Viscount de Mirabeau, brother of the great tribune of the name, so called from his bulk and the liquor he held. BAR`RACKPUR (18), a town on the Hooghly, 15 m. Now the Memorial DayParade was coming to the edge of Asphodel, to the sectionof straggling houses. He owned his house,and his grown children sent him what little money heneeded to pay the last penalties of existence. He was nowover seventy, was considered a trifle queer, and spent mostof his time pottering around at home. At this final speech, even if you bear in mind the admirable poem at which this sameman is working every day, you shrink from him, as Mme. de Surgis's sons shrank from M. They may remain unknown to us for a lifetime; anaccidental encounter upon a pier, at night, will disclose them; even then this accidental discovery is frequentlymisunderstood and we require a third person, who is in the secret, to supply the unimaginable clue of which everyone isunaware. Of course, I quite understood that by'drawing-room' Brichot meant — as the word church implies not merely the religious edifice but the congregation ofworshippers — not merely the apartment, but the people who visited it, the special pleasures that they came to enjoy there,to which, in his memory, those sofas had imparted their form upon which, when you called to see Mme. For, the day before, Albertine had methim, as she informed me that very evening, and indeed she had been a little late in coming home, for she had stopped forsome time talking to him. All that we can say is that everything is arranged in this life asthough we entered it carrying the burden of obligations contracted in a former life; there is no reason inherent in theconditions of life on this earth that can make us consider ourselves obliged to do good, to be fastidious, to be politeeven, nor make the talented artist consider himself obliged to begin over again a score of times a piece of work theadmiration aroused by which will matter little to his body devoured by worms, like the patch of yellow wall painted with somuch knowledge and skill by an artist who must for ever remain unknown and is barely identified under the name Vermeer. John had been at the bedside with thedoctor when she died. Sometimes shePg 28seemed about to get better, and then suddenly the fevergrew worse. She had stood in the hallwaybelow talking for nearly an hour. That boy he picked up in the road—once duringthe day when he said something to the boy, the samequeer look came into his eyes. After marriage, sometimes, it is true, he had wondered.Gertrude used to look at him sometimes with an odd lightin her eyes. The other studied it a moment, pushing back his hat andscratching his head. ‘Done died an’ woke up in Heaven,’ thought King Solomon,watching, fascinated; and after a while, as if the wonderof it were too great to believe simply by seeing, ‘Culludpolicemans!

Shedid not go into the house until after three o’clock, and wentthen only because he insisted. After they got back from the ball field that night—itmust have been after midnight—they went to sit on thefront porch before her father’s house. Youknow how small-town girls of that age are? “Maw left a dress here the day she come over terclean fer me. “I kin walk now,” she told him when he had climbed withher to the dock, and went slowly beside him along thepath to the house. After making his own boat fast to its mooringhe drew in the other. A figure inoilskins scrambled to its feet and called something which hecould not hear. A third time the drifting boat rose. ATHENÆUS, a Greek writer of the 3rd century, wrote a curious miscellany of a book entitled "Deipnosophistæ, or the Suppers of the Learned," extant only in an imperfect state. ATHE`NA, the Greek virgin goddess of wisdom, particularly in the arts, of war as of peace, happily called by Ruskin the "'Queen of the Air,' in the heavens, in the earth, and in the heart"; is said to have been the conception of Metis, to have issued full-armed from the brain of Zeus, and in this way the child of both wisdom and power; wears a helmet, and bears on her left arm the ægis with the Medusa's head; the olive among trees, and the owl among animals, were sacred to her. ATHEISM, MODERN, ascribed by Ruskin to "the unfortunate persistence of the clergy in teaching children what they cannot understand, and in employing young consecrate persons to assert in pulpits what they do not know." ATHEISM, disbelief in the existence of God, which may be either theoretical, in the intellect, or practical, in the life, the latter the more common and the more fatal form of it. ATHANASIAN CREED, a statement, in the form of a confession, of the orthodox creed of the Church as against the Arians, and damnatory of every article of the heresy severally; ascribed to Athanasius at one time, but now believed to be of later date, though embracing his theology in affirmation of the absolute co-equal divinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in the Trinity. I had trembled lest, as we were due at the same house, within afew minutes, he might ask me to take him with me, my memory of the scene that afternoon being too vivid not to give me acertain distaste for the idea of having Morel by my side during the drive. This accounts to me for the fact that, while he was speaking to me, he keptbending his fingers gently one after another to see whether they had regained their suppleness. To the latter it means their housekeeping book, to the former the register in which weinscribe our names. Not only did the sacrifice of his position with M.de Charlus seem to him absurd, he even regretted the expensive dinners he had given the girl since they became engaged, theexact cost of which he knew by heart, being a true son of the valet who used to bring his 'book' every month for my uncle'sinspection. I began to be afraid that she was goingcrazy, and the more I watched her the more I believed it.I had often thought that she’d do it some time when she’dget on one of her tears.But, if I was to be fair and to have a chance of perceiving the truth, unless we admit that it is never known save bypresentiment, by a telepathic emanation, must I not say to myself that if my reason, in seeking to bring about my recovery,let itself be guided by my desire, on the other hand, so far as concerned Mlle.Listen now to Ah-king-ah andcompare the wisdom of our tongues.” He paused until themurmur of approval went around the hunters’ shelf.CATHARINE, ST., OF ALEXANDRIA, a virgin who, in 307, suffered martyrdom after torture on the wheel, which has since borne her name; is represented in art as in a vision presented to Christ by His Mother as her sole husband, who gives her a ring.BORGU, fertile and densely-peopled state in Africa, traversed by the Niger, subject to the Royal Niger Company, in one of the chief towns of which Mungo Park lost his life.BLACKBURN (120), a manufacturing town in Lancashire, 21 m.EDFU, a town in Upper Egypt, on the left bank of the Nile; has unique ruins of two temples, the larger founded by Ptolemy IV. ', the preoccupied fruit seller cannot bemade, by skilful handling on our part, to relax their rectangular attitude, to throw about our neck their fruit-laden arms,to direct towards our lips, with a smile of consent, eyes hitherto frozen or absent — oh, the beauty of stern eyes — inworking hours when the worker was so afraid of the gossip of her companions, eyes that avoided our beleaguering stare and,now that we have seen her alone and face to face, make their pupils yield beneath the sunlit burden of laughter when wespeak of making love. Well, we know no rest until we can discover by experiment whether the proud girlon the seashore, the shop-assistant on her high horse of 'What will people say? Twofold, for if it is a question of the unknown, of a person who must, we guess, be divine, from her stature,her proportions, her indifferent glance, her haughty calm, on the other hand we wish this woman to be thoroughly specialisedin her profession, allowing us to escape from ourselves into that world which a peculiar costume makes us romanticallybelieve different.

Houndsditch was a Jew's quarter, and old clothesmarket in London, and was to Carlyle the symbol of the alarming traffic at the time in spiritualities fallen extinct. "EXODUS FROM HOUNDSDITCH," the contemplated title of a work which Carlyle would fain have written, but found it impossible in his time. Of Bristol, a quaint old town; contains a celebrated cathedral founded in 1112. No, taking the sonata from another point of view, regarding it initself as the work of a great artist, I was carried back upon the tide of sound to the days at Combray — I do not mean atMontjouvain and along the Méséglise way, but to walks along the Guermantes way — when I had myself longed to become anartist. Taking advantage of the fact that I still was alone, and drawing the curtains together so that thesun should not prevent me from reading the notes, I sat down at the piano, turned over the pages of Vinteuil's sonata whichhappened to be lying there, and began to play; seeing that Albertine's arrival was still a matter of some time but was onthe other hand certain, I had at once time to spare and tranquillity of mind. I am bound toadmit that her delight was a mocking delight, for albeit I came in time to pronounce the words more or less as she herselfdid, she found between our two ways of pronunciation an abyss of difference which gave her infinite joy, and she began toregret that she no longer saw people to whom she had not given a thought for years but who, it appeared, would have rockedwith a laughter which it would have done her good to hear, if they could have heard me speaking their dialect so badly. Unaware that Albertine's position in my household was not of her own seeking buthad been decided by myself (a fact which, from motives of self-esteem and to make Françoise angry, I preferred to concealfrom her), she admired and execrated the girl's dexterity, called her when she spoke of her to the other servants a'play-actress,' a wheedler who could twist me round her little finger. Wedo not know, we shall never find out; we strain after the unsubstantial fragments of a dream, and all the time our life withour mistress continues, our life indifferent to what we do not know to be important to us, attentive to what is perhaps ofno importance, hagridden by people who have no real connexion with us, full of lapses of memory, gaps, vain anxieties, ourlife as fantastic as a dream.

I asked myself whether Albertine, feeling herself watched, would not herself put intoeffect that separation with which I had threatened her, for life in its changing course makes realities of our fables.Whenever I heard a door open, I felt myself shudder as my grandmother used to shudder in her last moments whenever I rang mybell. And however short a time I allowed her, beforedismissing her with fury, this woman who had almost lost her sight, who could barely add up a column of figures, guided bythe same expert sense which makes a tailor, on catching sight of you, instinctively calculate the price of the stuff ofwhich your coat is made, while he cannot resist fingering it, or makes a painter responsive to a colour effect, Françoisesaw by stealth, calculated instantaneously the amount that I was giving. Aimé had sent me back Esther's photograph, with a message that she was not the person. This idea was, in itself, quite insufficient to detach Morel from the girl; but, lurking in his mind, it was readywhen the time came to combine with other analogous ideas, capable, once the compound was formed, of becoming a powerfuldisruptive agent. He asked himself with tears in his eyes how he could shewhis indebtedness to a person who had saved his life. He had discovered that certainpeople, to whom otherwise he would never have written at all, did not reply within five minutes of receiving his letterasking to speak to them 'on business.' If the afternoon went by without his receiving an answer, it never occurred to himthat, to put the best interpretation on the matter, it was quite possible that the gentleman addressed had not yet comehome, or had had other letters to write, if indeed he had not gone away from home altogether, fallen ill, or something ofthat sort. As soon as the person ceased to afford himpleasure, or indeed if, for example, the obligation to fulfil the promise that he had made caused him displeasure, she atonce became the object ef an antipathy which he justified in his own eyes and which, after some neurasthenic disturbance,enabled him to prove to himself, as soon as the balance of his nervous system was restored, that he was, even looking at thematter from a purely virtuous point of view, released from any obligation. Engrossed in happythoughts, he did not realize how swiftly time was passinguntil he glanced at his watch. As he lighted the blubber-lampsto heat the meeting-house, he noted a small pair of furmittens left by some child who had accompanied its motherto the first gathering. Perhaps evenAh-king-ah, the defeated, might come to listen to the HolyWord and become converted. His last thought that nightwas of the meeting-house on the morrow filled with gratefulEskimos sending up their praises to God. The following day, Saturday, wasalso filled with unusual activities, but he permitted himselfto speak of the meeting of thanksgiving which he would holdPg 306for them on Sunday.
