The timid hare seems half its fears to lose,
Crouching and
sleeping
neath its grassy lair,
And scarcely startles, though the shepherd goes
Close by its home, and dogs are barking there;
The wild colt only turns around to stare
At passer by, then knaps his hide again;
And moody crows beside the road forbear
To fly, though pelted by the passing swain;
Thus day seems turned to night, and tries to wake in vain.

Rehearsal - v1 - 1750 |
|
He had not exchanged a word with his cousin for the last
fifteen years, since they had' quarrelled over a little matter of a borrowed fifty
pounds; still, he wrote fairly confidently,' asking Sir Thomas to get m touch
with Dorothy if it could be done; and to find her some kind of job m London
For of course, after What had happened* there could be no question of letting
364 A Clergyman 3 s Daughter
her come back to Knype Hill
Shortly after this there came two despairing letters from Dorothy, telling
him that she was m danger of starvation and imploring him to send her some
money The Rector was disturbed It occurred to him-it was the first time m
his life that he had seriously considered such a thing-that it is possible to
starve if you have no money So, after thinking it over for the best part of a
week, he sold out ten pounds’ worth of shares and sent a cheque for ten pounds
to his cousin, to be kept for Dorothy till she appeared At the same time he sent
a cold letter to Dorothy herself, telling her that she had better apply to Sir
Thomas Hare But several more days passed before this letter was posted,
because the Rector had qualms about addressing a letter to ‘Ellen
Millborough’-he dimly imagined that it was against the law to use false
names-and, of course, he had delayed far too long Dorothy was already m the
streets when the letter reached ‘Mary’s’
Sir Thomas Hare was a widower, a good-hearted, chuckle-headed man of
about sixty-five, with an obtuse rosy face and curling moustaches He dressed
by preference in checked overcoats and curly brimmed bowler hats that were
at once dashingly smart and four decades out of date At a first glance he gave
the impression of having carefully disguised himself as a cavalry major of the
’nineties, so that you could hardly look at him without thinking of devilled
bones with a b and s, and the tinkle of hansom bells, and the Pink ’Un in its
great ‘Pitcher’ days, and Lottie Collins and ‘Tarara-BOOM-deay’ But his chief
characteristic was an abysmal mental vagueness He was one of those people
who say ‘Don’t you know 5 ’ and ‘What 1 What 1 ’ and lose themselves m the
middle of their sentences When he was puzzled or in difficulties, his
moustaches seemed to bristle forward, giving him the appearance of a well-
meaning but exceptionally
brainless
prawn
So far as his own inclinations went Sir Thomas was not m the least anxious
to help his cousins, for Dorothy herself he had never seen, and the Rector he
looked on as a cadging poor relation of the worst possible type But the fact was
that he had had just about as much of this ‘Rector’s Daughter’ business as he
could stand The accursed chance that Dorothy’s surname was the same as his
own had made his life a misery for the past fortnight, and he foresaw further
and worse scandals if she were left at large any longer So, just before leaving
London for the pheasant shooting, he sent for his butler, who was also his
confidant and intellectual guide, and held a council of war
‘Look here, Blyth, dammit,’ said Sir Thomas prawnishly (Blyth was the
butler’s name), ‘I suppose you’ve seen all this damn’ stuff in the newspapers,
hey?

impassable
gulf fixed between all
communication of ideas, if either party had happened to possess any.
