I wrote also The Scrutinies of Simon Iff, a series of six more or less detective stories; two or three less important essays; some short stories, of which I may mention "Every Precaution" for its local colour; and all but the last two or three chapters of my first serious attempt at a long novel, The Net. I also began from the very depths of my spiritual misery a very strange book of an entirely new kind; so much so that I describe it as "A Novelissim".1 Its title is Not the Life and Adventure of Sir Roger Bloxam.…

…ll, and stole, on the tips of my toes, At the dark of the night to my Annie. Her window was open ; she slept like a child; So I laid the three flowers on her breast, And stole back alone through the forest deep- aisled, To dream of the lass I loved best. And the next night I lay half awake on my bed, When—a foot-fall as soft as the breeze ! Oh ! never a word nor a whisper she said To disturb the low song of the trees. But she crept to my side. close : Then: ‘‘ Have pardon and pity for me!” She whispered-—‘* your bluebell and violet and rosc--- …

Yet in that vast, that weary sad expanse The Earl saw three strange objects on the strand His keen eye noted at the firstborn glance, And recognised as pointers for his soul ; So that his soul was fervid in the dance, Knowing itself one step more near the goal, Should he but make the perfect choice of these. Farthest, loose tethered, at a stake’s control,

only—a detail which Régnier failed to observe— two or three portraits of famous doctors hung from the walls. How I was petted! There was a big fire, hot wine, cigars; and while offering me these good things, and herself lighting a cigar, the little buffoon said to me, “Make yourself quite at home, dear boy; this will remind you of the hospital and the happy days of youth. Ah, where did you get this white hair? You were not like that when you were house-surgeon under L——, not so long ago, either. I remem- ber that it was you who helped him in ma…

…me appals, whose vitals quake At the dim thought of Thee ? Have mercy, Christ ! Who suffered on the cross, who sacrificed Thy heaven for three hours. Ah ! pity me, For years, not hours, condemned to agony Thrice Thine ! Have pity, hear me, virgin queen, Whose pangs of childbirth were seven times more keen Than all, since love and memory of joy Thou hadst not, but the fear of shame to cloy Even the hope of motherhood. But I, Cut off from love and joy ; its memory One black hell of distorted pain ; my shame More horrid than that first unholy flam…

There is some conflict in opinion as to the height reached by various members of the party. Eckenstein was fanatically determined never to exaggerate any exploit.

The Mother’s Tragedy

…some intolerable tragedy Fit for a god to picture, not a man! I see the breaking of the rosary, And Fate’s cold fingers snap the span Of three most innocent and pleasant lives. So terrible a happening dives Swift from God’s hand to the abyss of hell, And in its torment thrives, Gathering curses from the darkest cave, Calling corruption from the grave
