‘
Anne
of
Geierstein
’
(
pronounced
Jeersteen
)
or
the
‘
Maiden
of
the
Mist
,
by
the
author
of
Waverley
.
’
"
Then
turning
the
page
,
he
began
sonorously
—
"
The
course
of
four
centuries
has
well
-
nigh
elapsed
since
the
series
of
events
which
are
related
in
the
following
chapters
took
place
on
the
Continent
.
"
He
pronounced
the
last
truly
admirable
word
with
the
accent
on
the
last
syllable
,
not
as
unaware
of
vulgar
usage
,
but
feeling
that
this
novel
delivery
enhanced
the
sonorous
beauty
which
his
reading
had
given
to
the
whole
.
And
now
the
servant
came
in
with
the
tray
,
so
that
the
moments
for
answering
Mrs
.
Waule
’
s
question
had
gone
by
safely
,
while
she
and
Solomon
,
watching
Mr
.
Trumbull
’
s
movements
,
were
thinking
that
high
learning
interfered
sadly
with
serious
affairs
.
Mr
.
Borthrop
Trumbull
really
knew
nothing
about
old
Featherstone
’
s
will
;
but
he
could
hardly
have
been
brought
to
declare
any
ignorance
unless
he
had
been
arrested
for
misprision
of
treason
.
"
I
shall
take
a
mere
mouthful
of
ham
and
a
glass
of
ale
,
"
he
said
,
reassuringly
.
"
As
a
man
with
public
business
,
I
take
a
snack
when
I
can
.
I
will
back
this
ham
,
"
he
added
,
after
swallowing
some
morsels
with
alarming
haste
,
"
against
any
ham
in
the
three
kingdoms
.
In
my
opinion
it
is
better
than
the
hams
at
Freshitt
Hall
—
and
I
think
I
am
a
tolerable
judge
.
"
"
Some
don
’
t
like
so
much
sugar
in
their
hams
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Waule
.
"
But
my
poor
brother
would
always
have
sugar
.
"
"
If
any
person
demands
better
,
he
is
at
liberty
to
do
so
;
but
,
God
bless
me
,
what
an
aroma
!
I
should
be
glad
to
buy
in
that
quality
,
I
know
.
There
is
some
gratification
to
a
gentleman
"
—
here
Mr
.
Trumbull
’
s
voice
conveyed
an
emotional
remonstrance
—
"
in
having
this
kind
of
ham
set
on
his
table
.
"
He
pushed
aside
his
plate
,
poured
out
his
glass
of
ale
and
drew
his
chair
a
little
forward
,
profiting
by
the
occasion
to
look
at
the
inner
side
of
his
legs
,
which
he
stroked
approvingly
—
Mr
.
Trumbull
having
all
those
less
frivolous
airs
and
gestures
which
distinguish
the
predominant
races
of
the
north
.
"
You
have
an
interesting
work
there
,
I
see
,
Miss
Garth
,
"
he
observed
,
when
Mary
re
-
entered
.
"
It
is
by
the
author
of
‘
Waverley
’
:
that
is
Sir
Walter
Scott
.
I
have
bought
one
of
his
works
myself
—
a
very
nice
thing
,
a
very
superior
publication
,
entitled
‘
Ivanhoe
.
’
You
will
not
get
any
writer
to
beat
him
in
a
hurry
,
I
think
—
he
will
not
,
in
my
opinion
,
be
speedily
surpassed
.
I
have
just
been
reading
a
portion
at
the
commencement
of
‘
Anne
of
Jeersteen
.
’
It
commences
well
.
(
Things
never
began
with
Mr
.
Borthrop
Trumbull
:
they
al
ways
commenced
,
both
in
private
life
and
on
his
handbills
.
)
"
You
are
a
reader
,
I
see
.
Do
you
subscribe
to
our
Middlemarch
library
?
"
"
No
,
"
said
Mary
.
"
Mr
.
Fred
Vincy
brought
this
book
.
