Babcock And Selma White Were Among The Last Of The Wedding Guests To Take Their Departure. It Was A Brilliant September Night With A Touch Of Autumn Vigor In The Atmosphere, Which Had Not Been Without Its Effect On The Company, Who Had Driven Off In Gay Spirits, Most Of Them In Hay-Carts Or Other Vehicles Capable Of Carrying A Party. Their Songs And Laughter Floated Back Along The Winding Country Road. Selma, Comfortable In Her Wraps And Well Tucked About With A Rug, Leaned Back Contentedly In The Chaise, After The Goodbyes Had Been Said, To Enjoy The Glamour Of The Full Moon. They Were Seven Miles From Home And She Was In No Hurry To Get There. Neither Festivities Nor The Undisguised Devotion Of A City Young Man Were Common In Her Life. Consideration She Had Been Used To From A Child, And She Knew Herself To Be Tacitly Acknowledged The Smartest Girl In Westfield, But Perhaps For That Very Reason She Had Held Aloof From Manhood Until Now. At Least No Youth In Her Neighborhood Had Ever Impressed Her As Her Equal. Neither Did Babcock So Impress Her; But He Was Different From The Rest. He Was Not Shy And Unexpressive; He Was Buoyant And Self-Reliant, And Yet He Seemed To Appreciate Her Quality None The Less. [more]

The Incidents Of The Next Two Days Previous To Her Attendance At The Evening Reception At The White House Restored Selma's Equanimity. She Had The Satisfaction Of Being Present At The Opening Ceremonies Of The House Of Representatives, And Of Beholding Her Husband Take The Oath Of Office. She Was Proud Of Lyons As She Looked Down On Him From The Gallery Standing In The Aisle By His Allotted Seat. He Was Holding An Improvised Reception, For A Number Of His Colleagues Showed Themselves Desirous To Make His Acquaintance. She Noticed That He Appeared Already On Familiar Terms With Some Of His Fellow-Members; That He Drew Men Or Was Drawn Aside For Whispered Confidences; That He Joked Knowingly With Others; And That Always As He Chatted His Large, Round, Smooth Face, Relieved By Its Chin Beard, Wore An Aspect Of Bland Dignity And Shrewd Reserve Wisdom. It Pleased Her To Be Assisting At The Dedication Of A Fresh Page Of National History--A Page Yet Unwritten, But On Which She Hoped That Her Own Name Would Be Inscribed Sooner Or Later By Those Who Should Seek To Trace The Complete Causes Of Her Husband's Usefulness And Genius.

A French Clock On The Mantel-Piece, Framed Of Brass And Crystal, Which Betrayed Its Inner Structure As The Transparent Sides Of Some Insects Betray Their Vital Processes, Struck Ten With The Mellow And Lingering Clangor Of A Distant Cathedral Bell. A Gentleman, Who Was Seated In Front Of The Fire Reading A Newspaper, Looked Up At The Clock To See What Hour It Was, To Save Himself The Trouble Of Counting The Slow, Musical Strokes. The Eyes He Raised Were Light Gray, With A Blue Glint Of Steel In Them, Shaded By Lashes As Black As Jet. The Hair Was Also As Black As Hair Can Be, And Was Parted Near The Middle Of His Forehead. It Was Inclined To Curl, But Had Not The Length Required By This Inclination. The Dark Brown Mustache Was The Only Ornament The Razor Had Spared On The Wholesome Face, The Outline Of Which Was Clear And Keen. The Face Suited The Hands--It Had The Refinement And Gentleness Of One Delicately Bred, And The Vigorous Lines And Color Of One Equally At Home In Field And Court; And The Hands Had The Firm, Hard Symmetry Which Showed They Had Done No Work, And The Bronze Tinge Which Is The Imprint Wherewith Sky And Air Mark Their Lovers. His Clothes Were Of The Fashion Seen In The Front Windows Of The Knickerbocker Club In The Spring Of The Year 187-, And Were Worn As Easily As A Self-Respecting Bird Wears His Feathers. He Seemed, In Short, One Of Those Fortunate Natures, Who, However Born, Are Always Bred Well, And Come By Prescription To Most Of The Good Things The World Can Give. He Sat In A Room Marked, Like Himself, With A Kind Of Serious Elegance--One Of Those Apartments Which Seem To Fit The Person Like A More Perfect Dress. All Around The Walls Ran Dwarf Book-Cases Of Carved Oak, Filled With Volumes Bound In Every Soft Shade Of Brown And Tawny [more]
