# The Blue Castle/Chapter 43

“BUT, Barney,” protested Valancy after a few minutes, “your father—somehow—gave me to understand that you still loved her.”
“He would. Dad holds the championship for making blunders. If there’s a thing that’s better left unsaid you can trust him to say it. But he isn’t a bad old soul, Valancy. You’ll like him.”
“I do, now.”
“And his money isn’t tainted money. He made it honestly. His medicines are quite harmless. Even his Purple Pills do people whole heaps of good when they believe in them.”
“But—I’m not fit for your life,” sighed Valancy. “I’m not—clever—or well-educated—or———”
“My life is in Mistawis—and all the wild places of the world. I’m not going to ask you to live the life of a society woman. Of course, we must spend a bit of the time with Dad—he’s lonely and old———”
“But not in that big house of his,” pleaded Valancy. “I can’t live in a palace.”
“Can’t come down to that after your Blue ​Castle,” grinned Barney. “Don’t worry, sweet. I couldn’t live in that house myself. It has a white marble stairway with gilt bannisters and looks like a furniture shop with the labels off. Likewise it’s the pride of Dad’s heart. We’ll get a little house somewhere outside of Montreal—in the real country—near enough to see Dad often. I think we’ll build one for ourselves. A house you build for yourself is so much nicer than a hand-me-down. But we’ll spend our summers in Mistawis. And our autumns travelling. I want you to see the Alhambra—it’s the nearest thing to the Blue Castle of your dreams I can think of. And there’s an old-world garden in Italy where I want to show you the moon rising over Rome through the dark cypress-trees.”
“Will that be any lovelier than the moon rising over Mistawis?”
“Not lovelier. But a different kind of loveliness. There are so many kinds of loveliness. Valancy, before this year you’ve spent all your life in ugliness. You know nothing of the beauty of the world. We’ll climb mountains—hunt for treasures in the bazaars of Samarcand—search out the magic of east and west—run hand in hand to the rim of the world. I want to show you it all—see it again through your eyes. Girl, there are a million things I want to show you—do with you—say to you. It will take a lifetime. And we must see about that picture by Tierney, after all.”
​“Will you promise me one thing?” asked Valancy solemnly.
“Anything,” said Barney recklessly.
“Only one thing. You are never, under any circumstances or under any provocation, to cast it up to me that I asked you to marry me.”
# The Blue Castle/Chapter 44

EXTRACT from letter written by Miss Olive Stirling to Mr. Cecil Bruce:
“It’s really disgusting that Doss’ crazy adventures should have turned out like this. It makes one feel that there is no use in behaving properly.
“I’m sure her mind was unbalanced when she left home. What she said about a dust-pile showed that. Of course I don’t think there was ever a thing the matter with her heart. Or perhaps Snaith or Redfern or whatever his name really is fed Purple Pills to her, back in that Mistawis hut and cured her. It would make quite a testimonial for the family ads, wouldn’t it?
“He’s such an insignificent-looking creature. I mentioned this to Doss but all she said was, ‘I don’t like collar ad men.’
“Well, he’s certainly no collar ad man. Though I must say there is something rather distinguished about him, now that he has cut his hair and put on decent clothes. I really think, Cecil, you should exercise more. It doesn’t do to get too fleshy.
“He also claims, I believe, to be John Foster. We can believe that or not, as we like, I suppose.
“Old Doc Redfern has given them two millions for a wedding-present. Evidently the Purple Pills bring in the bacon. They’re going to spend the fall in Italy and the ​winter in Egypt and motor through Normandy in apple-blossom time. Not in that dreadful old Lizzie, though. Redfern has got a wonderful new car.
“Well, I think I’ll run away, too, and disgrace myself. It seems to pay.
“Uncle Ben is a scream. Likewise Uncle James. The fuss they all make over Doss now is absolutely sickening. To hear Aunt Amelia talking of ‘my son-in-law, Bernard Redfern’ and ‘my daughter, Mrs. Bernard Redfern.’ Mother and Father are as bad as the rest. And they can't see that Valancy is just laughing at them all in her sleeve.”
# The Blue Castle/Chapter 45

VALANCY and Barney turned under the mainland pines in the cool dusk of the September night for a farewell look at the Blue Castle. Mistawis was drowned in sunset lilac light, incredibly delicate and elusive. Nip and Tuck were cawing lazily in the old pines. Good Luck and Banjo were mewed and mewing in separate baskets in Barney's new, dark-green car en route to Cousin Georgiana's. Cousin Georgiana was going to take care of them until Barney and Valancy came back. Aunt Wellington and Cousin Sarah and Aunt Alberta had also entreated the privilege of looking after them, but to Cousin Georgiana was it given. Valancy was in tears.
“Don't cry, Moonlight. We'll be back next summer. And now we're off for a real honeymoon.”
Valancy smiled through her tears. She was so happy that her happiness terrified her. But, despite the delights before her—‘the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome’—lure of the ageless Nile—glamour of the Riviera—mosque and palace and minaret—she knew perfectly well that no spot or place or home in the world could ever possess the sorcery of her Blue Castle.

# The Arts/Volume 1/Issue 1/Two Japanese Prints

Layout 2
TWO JAPANESE PRINTS
An Artistic Curiosity
IN the Seventeenth Century some engraver who gloried in the picturesque side of Imperial Rome made an engraving of the Forum in which he introduced monuments from other portions of the city. In those days grass and rank weeds overgrew the Forum and trees added to the beauty of the effect.
About 1760 an impression of the print fell into the hands of the great Japanese master of wood engraving, Toyoharu. Recognizing the picturesque quality of the old print he copied its main outlines on a wood block, and then with other blocks gave it the added charm which color in the hands of a master can give.
Sixty or seventy years later, the block which Toyoharu had made for the outlines of his print came into the possession of Hokujiu, also a master of wood engraving and especially of landscape prints with fantastic forms of earth and sky. Taken with the glory that was Rome he decided to cut new color blocks, adding to the original print the decorative beauty of fantastic cloud.
Thus we have a series of prints: the first an imaginative view of the Forum by a European artist; grafted on that, the richness of Japan of the Eighteenth Century; and that, in turn, given a fantastic twist by a Japanese artist whose delight was in the exotic.
It is probable that, if we could compare the two Japanese versions with the European original, we would find that both Toyoharu's version and that of Hokujiu are far more interesting as works of art.
To them, accustomed to the frail architecture of Japan, Rome with its arches of solid masonry which had survived the storms of almost two thousand years, must have appealed with great force. Toyoharu and Hokujiu felt intense emotion when brought face to face with Imperial Rome, and that is why their prints move us.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Mickle, William Julius

Mickle, William Julius (1735-1788). — Poet, s. of the minister of Langholm, Dumfriesshire, was for some time a brewer in Edin., but failed. He went to Oxf., where he was corrector for the Clarendon Press. After various literary failures and minor successes he produced his translation of the Lusiad, from the Portuguese of Camoens, which brought him both fame and money. In 1777 he went to Portugal, where he was received with distinction. In 1784 he pub. the ballad of Cumnor Hall, which suggested to Scott the writing of Kenilworth. He is perhaps best remembered, however, by the beautiful lyric, There's nae luck aboot the Hoose, which, although claimed by others, is almost certainly his.
# Mr. Bolton’s Agency for the Supply of Microscopic Organisms

Published in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science. 19: 492–493. Lankester was the journal's editor.
For Bolton's response, see Mr Thomas Bolton's Natural History Discoveries.
​Mr. Bolton’s Agency for the Supply of Microscopic Organisms.—Mr. Bolton, of 17, Ann Street, Birmingham, has supplied to me once a week by post, during the past year, a tube containing in a living state new or interesting forms of Protozoa, Entomostraea, Rotifera, &c. Every naturalist within a day’s post of Birmingham should subscribe a guinea to Mr. Bolton’s agency, and ensure the weekly receipt of one of his most interesting tubes. Mr, Bolton has sent out during the past year most of the more important forms of Rotifera, such as Hydatina senta, Lacinularia socialis, Conochilus volcox, Melicerta and Œicistes, Stephanoceras and Floscularia, &c. One form sent by him, viz. the Rhinops vitrea, of Dr. Hudson, is especially worthy of mention. Large Amebæ and the commoner Ciliate Infusoria have been supplied by Mr. Bolton in abundance. Amongst rarer Ciliata supplied by him we may mention Trachelius ovum and Zoothamnium arbuscula. The work which Mr. Bolton is doing is not, however, limited to the distribution of forms already known; he has made some important additions to the British Fauna, for which he deserves the warmest support and encouragement of zoologists. About three months ago I received from him a tube containing specimens of an Entomostracon which he was unable to identify, rightly considering it new to this country. The form proved to be the beautiful Leptodora hyalina of Lilljeborg. A few days later another tube was sent by him, containing a species which I identified as the Hyalodaphnia Kahlbergensis of Schödler. These two very fine Entomostraca were obtained by Mr. Bolton from a deep reservoir at Olton. Besides these I have to thank Mr. Bolton for the new Protozoon Lithamœba discus, described in the present number of the Journal. Last autumn, from the same source, I received an abundant supply of one of those very interesting spiculate Heliozoa, which my colleague, Mr. Archer, of Dublin, was the first to make known to zoologists. The specimens forwarded by Mr. Bolton proved to be the Raphidiophrys pallida, a species named by Prof. F. Eilhard Schulze, and assigned by him to Archer's genus.
Mr. Bolton has also during the year supplied me with the finest specimens of Hydra fusca which I have seen, with Volvox, Uroglena, and other similar forms. A few marine organisms have been distributed by him, namely, the interesting disc-like larvae of the Polyzoon Alcyonidium, and the delicate polyp Lucernarta auricula—E. Ray Lankester.

Succumbs in Prague
MME. LUDMILA WETCHE (In Native Czech Costume)
Word has been received by friends here of the death, Sept. 13, in Prague, of Mme. Ludmila Vojackova Wetche, Czechoslovak pianist, accompanist and lecturer, who made her home on Franklin Avenue, this City, for many years. Mme. Wetche with her husband, Dr. Frederick C. Wetche, had returned to her native country in 1935, when Dr. Wetche was sum​moned to treat President Thomas G. Masaryk.
Dr. Wetche died a few years ago.
Mme. Wetche, daughter of Ladislas Vojacek, a patent attorney of Prague, was a close friend of the Masaryk family. She and Dr. Wetche passed a Summer at Lany castle with the president, when Dr. Wetche was attending him.
Daughter of musical parents, Mme. Wetche studied at the Academie de Musique in Geneva with Ysaye and Richter, at the Royal Academy of Music in London, and taught music and languages in England. Later she became professor of English in the High School for Girls, in Prague.
Her musical career began as accompanist for Maric Heritesova, violinist, at the Victor Hugo Festivals in London and Paris. Later she toured with Marie Hall, and other noted musicians and singers, including David Mannes, Victor Maurell, David Bispham, Yvonne de Treville, Helen Ware, Wilhelmi, Henrietta Wieniawski.
Concertizing in Europe, the young Bohemian pianist was the first to present the music of the American composer, MacDowell, abroad. She was chosen as accompanist for Melba’s Coronation Concert in London. In this country she appeared in native costume, presenting lectures on Czechoslovakia, its culture, arts and music, as well as in piano recitals. A New Rochellean with whom she appeared was Mme. Georgiana Oktavec.
A Czech newspaper received here, commenting upon her death, mentioned Mme. Wetche as one whose life was “consecrated to the love of her fellowman, and as an exponent of Czech music, here and abroad.”
Before her death, she requested that friends, instead of mourning her by memorial, remember her by giving support to some beneficent cause.
A brother, Dr. Jan Vojacek, a distinguished patent attorney in Prague, and a sister, Dr. Helen Vojacek, survive. The remains of Mme. Wetche were cremated.

Of the diseases of Elephants.
(Cf. Fragm. XXXVI. 15 and XXXVII. 15.)
The Indians cure the wounds of the elephants which they catch, in the manner following:—They treat them in the way in which, as good old ​Homer tells us, Patroklos treated the wound of Eurypylos,—they foment them with lukewarm water. After this they rub them over with butter, and if they are deep allay the inflammation by applying and inserting pieces of pork, hot but still retaining the blood. They cure ophthalmia with cows' milk, which is first used as a fomentation for the eye, and is then injected into it. The animals open their eyelids, and finding they can see better are delighted, and are sensible of the benefit like human beings. In proportion as their blindness diminishes their delight overflows, and this is a token that the disease has been cured. The remedy for other distempers to which they are liable is black wine; and if this potion fails to work a cure nothing else can save them.
