# A Child of the Jago/Chapter 35

Layout 2
XXXV
All this hard thinking would be over in half an hour or so. What was to come now didn't matter; no more than a mere punch in the eye. The worst was over on Saturday, and he had got through that all right. Hannah was very bad, and so was Dicky. Em cried in a bewildered sort of way, because the others did. Little Josh, conceiving that his father was somehow causing all the tears, kicked and swore at him. He tried to get Hannah to smile at this, but it was no go; and they had to carry her out at last. Dicky was well-plucked though, bad as he was. He felt him shake and choke when he kissed him, but he walked out straight and steady, with the two children. Well, it was over. . . .
​He hoped they would get up a break in the Jago for Hannah and the youngsters. His own break had never come off—they owed him one. The last break he was at was at Mother Gapp's, before the Dove-Laners fell through the floor. It must have cost Mother Gapp a deal of money to put in the new floor; but then she must have made a lot in her time, what with one thing and another. Some said she came of the gipsies that used to live at the Mount years ago. The Mount was a pretty thick place now, but not so thick as the Jago: the Jagos were thick as glue and wide as Broad Street. Bob the Bender fell in Broad Street, toy-getting, and got a stretch and a half. . . .
Yes, yes, of course, they always tolled a bell. But it was rather confusing, with things to think about.
Ah, they had come at last! Come, there was nothing more to think about now; nothing but to take it game. Hold ​tight—Jago, hold tight. . . . "No, thank you, sir—nothing to say, special. On'y much obliged to ye, thank ye kindly, for the grub an'—an' bein' kind an' wot not. Thanks all of ye, come to that. Specially you, sir." It was the tall black figure again. . . .
What, this was the chap, was it? Seedy-looking. Sort of undertaker's man to look at. All right—straps. Not cords to tie, then. Waist; wrists; elbows; more straps dangling below—do them presently. This was how they did it, then. . . . This way?
"I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."
A very big gate, this, all iron, painted white. Round to the right. Not very far, they told him. It was dark in the passage, but the door led into the yard, where it was light and open, and sparrows ​were twittering. Another door: in a shed.
This was the place. All white, everywhere—frame too; not black, after all. Up the steps. . . . Hold tight: not much longer. Stand there? Very well.
"Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower: he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
"In the midst of life . . . . ."

GUENEVER I.
This was the first wife of the British King Arthur, so famed in history and romance, as the implacable and heroic enemy of the Saxons. We are told expressly, that she was so remarkably beautiful, as to excel all the other ladies of Britain, on which account she was called Guinne, "a word in the Welsh tongue, signifying fair." so says Camden. This Guenever, it seems, was of Roman descent, and was educated up to the time of her marriage, by Cador, Earl of Cornwall, who was her near relative, for the old chronicle tells us that when Arthur had established peace he married "a fayre ladye, and a gentel that Cador, the Earl of Cornwall, had long since nourished in his chamber;" and it is afterwards said that although she bore him no children, the king "loved her wonder well and dearly."
Guenever having accompanied her husband on an expedition against the Picts and Scots, was taken prisoner and confined in the castle of Dunbar, in Angus, where she remained for the rest of her life. She is said to have been interred in a field about ten miles from Dundee, and to have had a sumptuous tomb ​erected over her remains, around which was placed tombs of the noble ladies who shared her captivity. When Holinshed wrote his history the spot was still pointed out, and there was a tradition current that if any woman chanced to tread upon the sepulchre of the queen she would be henceforth barren, as Guenever herself had been.

GUENEVER III,
Was a Pictish princess, and very unlike her predecessors in character, for no sooner, it is said, "did Arthur marry her, than a change took place in the manners of the court;" nor does the fame of Guenever herself escape; not only was she unfaithful to her lord, but even he, the hero of his time, who had been so tenderly attached to his two former queens, followed the bad example of his present wife. Many extraordinary stories are related by the Welsh bards and chroniclers, of doings at this corrupt court, but it is neither necessary nor desirable to repeat them here. Suffice it that Guenever is reported to have favoured the pretensions of Arthur's nephew Mordred to the throne; and when, in the contest which ensued between the king and Mordred, she learned that the latter was defeated and obliged to fly for his life, she was, as the chronicle has it, "sore dread and had great doubt, and wist not what was best all for to be done; for she wist well that her lord, King Arthur, would never of her have mercy, for the great shame she had him done; and took her away privily with four men, without more, and came to Caerleon, and there she dwelled all her life's time, and never was seen among folke her life living."
The repentant queen is said to have become a nun in the church of the Martyr at Caerleon, and to have lived to a very advanced age; some say fifty years after the death of Arthur.

GUERCHEVILLE, ANTOINETTE DE PONS, MARCHIONESS OF,
​On one occasion, having hunted purposely near her chateau, Henry sent word to Madame de Guercheville that he would sup and lodge at her house; she replied that all possible attention should be paid to his accommodation. Henry, delighted at this answer, hastened to the château, where he was received by his hostess, elegantly attired, and surrounded by all her household. Having lighted the king herself to his room, she bowed and retired. When supper was served up, Henry sent for the lady, but was told she had just driven from the house, leaving this message for him:—"A king, wherever he is, should always be master. As to myself, I also choose to be free."

GUEST, LADY CHARLOTTE,
Was born in Wales, and has done much to elucidate its language and literature. She has translated, from "The Mabinogion," an ancient Welsh work, four tales into English, adding many valuable notes, which show much antiquarian lore and just philosophy. She has been a contributor to the Cambrian Quarterly; and her researches and translations have been highly commended. Another lady, Anna Gurney, of Norfolk, niece, we believe, of Mrs. Fry, has also given much time to these antiquarian pursuits. Through the unwearied efforts of these two women, much of the early history of their country has been sought out, set in order, and thus will be preserved.

GUIZOT, CHARLOTTE PAULINE,
Was born in Paris, in 1773. Her father, M. de Meulan, lost all his fortune by the Revolution, and dying in 1790, left a widow and five children almost destitute. Pauline de Meulan, the eldest, com​menced writing in order to contribute to the support of her family Her first attempt was a novel, which was successful, and then she became one of the most popular contributors to a journal established at Paris, called "The Publiciste." In 1807, while suffering under an illness brought on by over-exertion, which compelled her to give up writing, the only resource of her mother and herself, she received an article written in happy imitation of her style, accompanied by an anonymous letter, in which she was informed that till her health should be restored, a similar article should be sent to her for each number of the Publiciste. These articles came with the utmost regularity; and on her recovery, she discovered the writer of them to be M. Guizot. He had heard of her, read and admired her writings, and they soon became friends. In 1812, Mademoiselle de Meulan married her benefactor; and though she was fourteen years older than her husband, their union was a very happy one. The purity and severity of her moral nature exercised great influence over her husband; and she also assisted him in his literary labours. The perfect accord of their sentiments rendered this easy for her, and he thus gained for himself increased honour and fame. She died in 1827. Her first works were novels, called "The Contradictions," and the "Chapel of Ayton." She afterwards published "Essays on Literature and Morals." In 1821, she gave to the public a work for youth, called "Raoul the Scholar," which has been translated into English, and enjoyed extensive circulation. This was followed by "Letters on Domestic Education," the best monument Madame Guizot has left of her talents and fame. Among all the French female authors, no one has more consistently and constantly advocated the cause of truth and good morals than this excellent lady.

GUIZOT, ELISE MARGARETTA,
Was born in Paris, in 1804. Her father, James Dillon, sprang from a branch of the Irish family of that name, which followed James the Second in his banishment to France. He married Henrietta de Meulan, sister of Pauline, the first wife of M. Guizot Madame Dillon was left a widow at an early age, with small means, and the charge of two children, Elise and Pauline. She, however proved herself equal to this difficult situation. Frugal, simple in her tastes, gifted with an hereditary quickness of intellect, she brought up her daughters in a most admirable manner. Elise, from the dawn of her understanding, manifested unusual aptness for acquirement, and extraordinary love for study. Upon the death of her mother, which occurred while she was a very young girl, she assumed the responsibility of managing the family and bringing up her sister Pauline. These duties she discharged with zeal and discernment, until the illness of her aunt, Madame Guizot, of the preceding sketch, for whom she entertained a peculiar affection, required her society and skill as a nurse, during an excursion to the baths of Piombieres. Madame Guizot was much older than her husband, whom she loved with that affection peculiar to woman, which regards the advantage of its object Setting aside personal considerations, she felt that her husband's happiness would be secured, if at a proper time after her death he could obtain the hand of a young lady whose mind and character she herself had formed, and whose tastes and habits were, as she knew, ​perfectly congenial with his. She therefore recommended to him this marriage, which actually took place after the lapse of over a year of mourning was expired. This union seems to have been fraught with happiness to both parties. Madame Elise Gulzot preserved her simplicity as wife of the minister, and used her influence, and added fortune only to promote plans of utility and beneficence. M. Guizot's political and literary life is too well known to demand any detail; but that he has maintained through every temptation and trial his consistency of principle, and his untarnished honour, is doubtless to be ascribed, in a great measure, to the purity of heart and uncommon culture of mind which distinguished his two successive wives. Even after their decease, the memory of their pious examples was to him as guardian angels amid the perils of power and the seductions of flattery. Madame Elise Guizot died in 1833, universally regretted, leaving three young children to her husband's care. She was beloved by all her connections; the warmth of her heart being as remarkable as the brilliancy of her intellect. She wrote some works of an ethical character; several novels, somewhat in the style of Miss Martineau; and she was a constant contributor to the "Revue Française," in valuable Essays upon English, German, and Italian Literature.

GUENEVER II.
The date assigned to Arthur's second nuptials is 611, immediately after he had fought his twelfth great battle against the Saxons, that of Bannesdown Hill, which overlooks the vale in which Bath is situated. These nuptials were celebrated at Carlisle with great pomp, and were made the theme of many an ancient ballad, The fair bride was the daughter of Uther of Credawgal, and this is about all we learn of her, except that she died, and was interred at Glastonbury, and was so beloved by Arthur, that at his own death he requested to be lain by her side, which desire was fulfilled by his faithful subjects. It is said moreover, that no court in Christendom was more remarkable for female purity than his, where the men were brave, and the women free from reproach.

GUILLAUME, JACQUETTE,
A French lady of the seventeenth century, who wrote a work entitled "Les Dames Illustres: où par bonnes et fortes Raisons, il se prouve que le sexe feminin surpasse en toute sorte de Genre le sexe masculin." In this performance, published in 1665, the writer attempts to prove the superiority of the female over the male sex, through the whole human and animal creation. The style is elegant and unaffected, and the examples and observations shew knowledge and research. She did not, however, dwell sufficiently on the kind of superiority she claimed for woman over man—that it was moral, not mental or physical power which the female sex was ordained to wield. Nor did she distinguish sufficiently between the manifestations of the distinctive characters of man and woman: that the power of the first was centred in the reason and the will; of the last, in the conscience and the affections. She had never studied the Bible, which is the grand charter of woman's rights, and the only true expositor of her duties.

​SILANION, a Greek sculptor of the 4th century B.C. He was noted as a portrait-sculptor. Of two of his works, his heads of Plato and of Sappho, we possess what seem to be copies. Both are of simple ideal type, the latter of course not strictly a portrait, since Sappho lived before the age of portraits. The best copy of the Plato is in the Vatican.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Silenus

See also Silenus on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SILENUS, a primitive Phrygian deity of woods and springs. As the reputed inventor of music he was confounded with Marsyas. He also possessed the gift of prophecy, but, like Proteus, would only impart information on compulsion; when surprised in a drunken sleep, he could be bound with chains of flowers, and forced to prophesy and sing (Virgil, Ecl. vi., where he gives an account of the creation of the world; cf. Aelian, Var. hist. iii. 18). In Greek mythology he is the son of Hermes (or Pan) and a nymph. He is the constant companion of Dionysus, whom he was said to have instructed in the cultivation of the vine and the keeping of bees. He fought by his side in the war against the giants and was his companion in his travels and adventures. The story of Silenus was often the subject of Athenian satyric drama. Just as there were supposed to be several Pans and Fauns, so there were many Silenuses, whose father was called Papposilenus (“Daddy Silenus”), represented as completely covered with hair and more animal in appearance. The usual attributes of Silenus were the wine-skin (from which he is inseparable), a crown of ivy, the Bacchic thyrsus, the ass, and sometimes the panther. In art he generally appears as a little pot-bellied old man, with a snub nose and a bald head, riding on an ass and supported by satyrs; or he is depicted lying asleep on his wine-skin, which he sometimes bestrides. A more dignified type is the Vatican statue of Silenus carrying the infant Dionysus, and the marble group from the villa Borghese in the Louvre.

​SILA, a mountainous forest district of Calabria, Italy, to the E. of Cosenza, extending for some 37 m. N. to S. and 25 m. E. to W. The name goes back to the Greek period, and then probably belonged to a larger extension of territory than at present. In ancient times these mountains supplied timber to the Greeks for shipbuilding, the forests have given way to pastures to some extent; but a part of them, which belongs to the state, is maintained. Geologically these mountains, which consist of granite, gneiss and mica schist, are the oldest portion of the Italian peninsula; their culminating point is the Botte Donato (6330 ft), and they are not free of snow until the late spring. They are very rarely explored by travellers.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Silas

See also Silas on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SILAS (fl. A.D. 50), early Christian prophet and missionary, was the companion of St Paul on the second journey, when he took the place formerly held by Barnabas. The tour included S. Galatia, Troas, Philippi (where he was imprisoned), Thessalonicaand Beroea, where Silas was left with Timothy, though he afterwards rejoined Paul at Corinth. He is in all probability the Silvanus who is associated with Paul in the letters to the Thessalonians, mentioned again in 2 Cor. i. 19, and the bearer and amanuensis of 1 Peter (see v. 12). It is possible, indeed, that he has an even closer connexion with this letter, and some scholars (e.g. R. Scott in The Pauline Epistles, 1909) are inclined to give him a prominent place among the writers of the New Testament. He was of Jewish birth and probably also a Roman citizen.

​SILCHESTER, a parish in the north of Hampshire, England, about 10 m. S. of Reading, containing the site of the Romano-British town Calleva Atrebatum. This site has been lately explored (1890–1909) and the whole plan of the ancient town within the walls recovered; unfortunately the excavators had to abandon their task before the suburbs, cemeteries and what-ever else may lie outside the walls have been examined. The results are published in Archaeologia, the official organ of the London Society of Antiquaries (see Britain: Roman). As the excavations proceeded, the areas excavated were covered in again, but the ruins of the town hall, which have been famous since the 12th century, still remain. The smaller and movable objects found in the excavations have been deposited by the duke of Wellington, owner of the site of Calleva, in the Reading museum.

Lesson 353
My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose;
To be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.
Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.
